Welcome! If you want to raid, I wouldn't advise picking a hybrid class (Shadowknight, Ranger, Paladin).
Cleric, Warrior, Rogue are the core raiding classes that are always in demand, but they are rough to start out as without any gear.
Necromancer is the go to choice for most starting players. They solo very well without gear, and are quite useful in raiding as well.
Some people prefer to start out as a Druid due to their ability to make money selling teleports to players. You will still be porting/sowing people when it comes to raiding. So this may not be the best choice if you want to experience all the raids.
Guilds do have what are called "bots", which are shared characters, so any big guild can field whichever classes they need for the encounter. So if you want to be accepted into a guild, be prepared to play those bots when the guild doesn't need more of whichever class you end up choosing.
