Girlfriend Going to Try P1999 - Thoughts on a Class?

[Houdiny]

For a first character in EQ I would suggest a caster dps or melee dps. Tanks and healers require a certain level of attention to be affective. I'm not saying she couldn't pick one up and be great at it, but for most first timers I always suggest DPS classes. If they slack it doesn't wipe the group nearly as often as a Cleric who is too enamored by another classes pet and forgets to heal the tank lol

Necromancers make good first characters, so would a wizard, or monk, rogue, all kinds of good classes for beginners. If she has played more than one MMO and this isn't her first I wouldn't worry about it too much, just tell her what the classes do and what they get and turn her loose.
