I also suggest a bard for a class you don't find in every game. Lays way different than every other class. Worth their weight in play in the raiding game. A good bard will "make" an exp group. As is eluded to by an above poster the bar isn't high since there aren't very many highly-skilled bards.

As with any core class, it's hard to get a valuable reputation in the group scene if you can't dedicate chunks of time to paying attention to the group. If your kids/girlfriend/wife/mistress is going to be bugging you every 15 minutes roll a wizard to make for a less stressful playing experience. You can quad with log up, so you can make progress while you wait for groups. Similar to druids in some aspect, but a wizard is highly sought after stackable dps in the kunark raid game.
