Class that requires the least skill

Honestly, the only games that i really consider to require "skill" are RTS and FPS games. MMORPGS for the most part don't require skill, anyone can play them well once you learn what you are supposed to do. A RTS on the other hand, you actually have to have a certain amount of talent at that to be good, doesn't matter how much you know about the game, same with FPS.

I believe you call those "twitch" skills right? I agree to some point but there is certainly some skill required to do certain things in EQ, though it's more of a strategy based approach than pure manual dexterity. Fear kiting in south karana is child's play, taking your level 50 necro down to lower guk(classic only) and soloing the frenzied ghoul camp takes some balls and a good game plan. I highly doubt your average necro could pull this off without dying a ton unless they really learned the ins and outs of their class beforehand to use all the tools at their disposal. I would guess that some could never pull it off reliably and would give up long before they figured it out.

Same goes for any kind of solo adventure in a dangerous area. Almost any caster can solo things outdoors by simply running away from the mob and aggro/fear/root fighting it. In a dungeon it takes a bit more tact and the ability to not panic when things go wrong. Your average players does what an average person does in a dangerous situation. RUN!... even though they probably won't make it out hehe. Some of my best times in classic EQ was taking my level 50 Druid down into dungeons and attempting to camp things I shouldn't be able to do. Testing pull spots and pathing, trying different tactics, etc... and usually I bit the dust a few times. But when I finally worked out the method it was very rewarding. Druid's weren't that great at indoor solo farming but I made the best of it. Had I known the awesomeness of a Shaman back then I'm sure I would have pulled off some more risky things.
