Returning Player - Question About Class to Play

[cd288]

My opinion: Correct that Necro will be the default easiest there.

Shaman can be good as well, but much better if you have the money to twink them semi-decently in order to more effectively facetank mobs using melee and slow (which you can do for quite awhile once you get your first good slow).

Enchanter is obviously another very powerful one when it comes to your ability to explore and try out new places. And they don't need much gear besides boosting CHA to help with Charm killing (once you reach the point where that method is viable). I did this on my Enchanter; basically just only went to places I hadn't leveled significantly before to try them out (invis, pacify line, illusions, etc. all make for a great tool kit for exploration).

If you can twink it out, Monk is also not bad solo.

Separately, with respect to your comment on raiding, on Blue you could absolutely join Kittens Who Say Meow and raid whenever you want (IIRC they don't have raid attendance requirements). Might need to get the Cleric up to like 55 for some of the stuff though.
