Answer is prolly rogue.
Not really, at first aggro from a mob you cannot solo you're good for a corpse run.

Another vote for druid.
Easy to solo. Easy to travel (plus port money). Tracking. Easy to group. Good race so less kill-on-sight problems.

I've never grouped with a druid who kept a DS on me nor had evac loaded so the bar is pretty low for a new player to meet.

He didn't ask about soloing. Not in the OP anyways.

But he won't be running around 24/7 with friends. Even if you group for exp you spend a lot of time doing stuff on your own, getting around places. Rogue is kinda horrible in classic. It's like, the worst of all worlds.

Hard to beat if you want to press as few buttons as possible though.

Actually he did mention it in his OP. not even sure how I missed it.

Pretty much any pet class will be "easy" and "simple", though it might not be optimal/most efficient to play them in the most simplistic fashion.

Well, my initial question has been answered. The key points are: easy class for clumsy player, lots of solo, very occasional play time, bad player, player that is a danger to the others when grouping, when solo, danger to itself...

I'm playing 3 classes: Druid(9), Mage(8) and Necro(6) (was 7 but died too many times...)

These first levels, the easiest was Mage, next was Necro and the hardest was Druid. Why? Well I mention something about clumsy player, didn't I? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You will not believe, how many times I gave Skin like Stone (or some similar buff) to enemy and I nuked myself. With Mage and Necro it is so much easier, since I don't have to worry to change target, since those spells are self only. Necro's leach also heals me. Attack + heal with one push of the button. That's what I call easy!

I'm still playing this game too 'easy'. But I will learn. I died 3 times and lost level because I didn't pull blues in safe area. Or because I forgot to check that 'blue' and see that it was actually white or yellow. Once my own pet suicided me, by deciding to attack much stronger skeleton and of course, I went right into the battle helping him, instead of checking the level with consider and hitting the 'gate' button lol. But I will get better, I will learn, i just need to die a little bit more...

Now here is an interesting story. How lvl3 saved me from dying one more time. I run into this new player, he just dinged lvl 3 (Mage) and I gave him some change, bags, gave him tips, spells info... and I decided to help him level to 4, where he can start using his pet. So we are at kobold camps, no one is around and we are massacring them. Funny how level 3 can aggro. I though higher level higher aggro. Nope. Well, I was dealing with one Kobold when he pulled 3 more. I knew this is going to be hard, remember, clumsy and bad player, I managed to kill two, but pet HP was low, so I told him to run. He did. He stopped at Druid ring (Steam Mountain or whatever is called Gnome starting area)

A little bit later he saw me passing by with last Kobold chasing me. I was strafing toward the guard with last crumbs of HP, I wouldn't make it. Then he send a nuke toward the Kobold and with his lvl3, Kobold turned to him and killed him. He said: "I'm lvl 3, I don't lose any experience."

Nice and quick thinking, exactly opposite than me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway, here is a story, how brand new player, in this brutal game, never played EQ before, on his second day, with his level3 mage saved life of level6 Necro [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Next plan, goal is to level them to 12, so I can start binding them wherever I want!
Then in a year or so, I may have another goal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All this talk of quadding. Mid 30's you need a lot of mana to do it which means items. I tried to take on mid 30's dwarves with 1500 hp's and I had to get more wisdom items to do it. This was on Blue.
