Best newbie friendly class/race?(casual player)

[Keebz]

I guess there is a merit to the barb shaman, because it is a non evil race and has less of an exp penalty and all. However, troll (hp regen) and ogres (no frontal stun) have better stats/racial abilities for shamans, imho.

That being said, necro for sure. They are cool, fun, and powerful. Also, root rotting as a shaman (ie how you solo until 34) is boorriiinng and time consuming.
