What class to pick for newbs?

Best soloer:

Depends on if you're asking which can get to 50 alone easiest or which can handle big mobs/camps alone once they're 50. Druids can kite their entire career, and once they have the levels/mana and can quad kite it's even better. However they can't solo break and hold tough camps in Sol B and Guk.

Now that charm is nerfed I'd say the best solo classes at taking down big mobs or breaking camps are Necros and Shamans. Necro gets FD if it goes bad and can do big damage, Shamans just have the most options assuming you have a large mana pool. Fully buffed (regen, haste, etc..) Shamans can tank better than any priest/caster and with potions they can even add damage shields and stack more hp buffs with STA pots. Combined with slow a shaman can last longer during the battle and it comes down to having enough mana to stay alive and do enough damage.

When Kunark and Velious come the balance of power changes, and Shamans really start to shine. Shamans were known to solo dragons in WW during Velious era, though you have to be geared for it. Velious armor + Epic + Fungi + JBB + Torpor = badass.
