Enchanter, Necro or Mage?

[megman87]

Hello all, so I am just starting here and trying to decide which class I should play as. My friends have already chosen the healers, tanks and dps class's and begun leveling so I am already behind by about 20-30 levels =/. So I figured I would go with a class that they don't have while also considering the fact that I will be solo leveling quite a bit more then I originally thought. However, I do prefer to group but looks like I will be pug grouping mainly, at least until I am around level 40 and catch up heh.

I don't really remember much about EQ to be honest, I only played for 3 or 4 months back when the game came out, and I don't even think I made it to level 50 either. I do remember that Necro's and Mage's were pretty amazing at solo leveling, but I don't remember how much they offer to the group? What is it exactly that those 2 class's can do for groups, and do groups every want / look for them?

As for Enchanter, I really don't know much about them at all. Only that they get mana regen and they can sleep stuff. So pretty much wondering the same thing. How well can an Enchanter solo? How often will they get groups and/or needed for them?

I am basically just looking for a class that will let me solo level if needed (without having terrible down time and being inefficient) while at the same time being a class that can throw LFG on and not have to wait very long to get a group.

What would you all suggest? Any advice or opinions on what I should do?

Thanks for taking the time to read this page of text!
