Best class for grouping

[Auchae]

Something with a desired role. Cleric is going to have tells for a group before you even log on. Enchanter covers things most other classes cant in crowd control and are effective pullers as well among many other things. Sk and pally make good group class over warrior if starting from nothing but usually theres a root spell somewhere in the group so dont let it stop you from rolling warrior if you've got your heart set on that specific tank. Its my personal favorite, gear or not. Shaman and druid bring alot to the table for a group but shamans going to be more sought after by quite a bit for group purposes. I personally would take either if i was forming with no preference and sometimes take druid over shaman depending on whats already in the group make up. Monk can single pull effectively if you understand the mechanics and also bring great dps even with no gear.

Basically.. Cleric, SK/Pally/War, Enchanter will be your best bets if you want to nearly always have a group. Class wont always guarantee you a spot though. If you really suck at what youre supposed to be doing, your reputation could spread fast.

more or less right.

every pug group needs a tank, healer, and cc, so you're best playing classes that fit those roles. you won't always find a group within 60 seconds of putting up lfg but you'll almost always get one in a reasonable time.

honorable mention would go to monks and shamans, both very useful classes that frequently are in your XP group, there are just a huge number of them so their spots are more or less saturated. sometimes you'll see monks in the tank role because of this saturation.

Like others have said, Cleric/Enchanter/Warrior is the holy trinity of EQ. Bard can sub for War or Ench, SK/Pal can sub for War, but its the basis for any solid Exp group.

From there the answer is obvious: Roll one of each and keep different level ranges. You'll eventually/always find a group somewhere.

If you want to Dps, I'd go with rogue or monk. Just know there are hundreds upon hundreds of monk/rogue twinks out there at all the popular grouping spots.
