If you are leveling near qeynos, my pal and I recently started and would love some more company. We rolled ranger and pally. I know that is not ideal but we get by. Plus the exp is so fast I do not think you need traditional groups to come up.

Wizard is probably a great choice. You can exp solo, though slowly, by just blowing mobs up then medding semi-afk; and later by quadding. I'd recommend grouping when you can, though, as the exp will be much faster.

I do recommend being religiously careful (aka paranoid) about AFKing, though. Best to do it somewhere hidden, secret, unreachable, high-up, seldom traveled... Otherwise, some opportunist will kill you for the heck of it. Find yourself a good, secret bind point like this, too. And if you're in a group, there's always a risk of someone sneaking in to get some kills, so don't actually leave the room if you can.

Wizards are also good in PvP due to the combination of their damage (can usually kill people from 100% with 2-4 nukes, depending on your level, their class, and their gear) and their escape/evasion abilities: levitate, invis, self-rune, gate, self-ports, and the situational but vital Yonder or shadow step. At the very least, you should be able to kill people at least as much as you die due to inexperience.
