I played back in 1999 for over 2 years and started p1999 about a months ago. It's been great and addicting as ever. The gm's are very good. I played an ogre sk then but have been playing a necro and a mage now.
To answer your question: necros, mages, and druids seem to solo the best. The mage is most over-powered in classic, but weakens in kunark and beyond. All three classes are wanted in groups, I don't think any classes are unwanted. I'm sure enchanters can charm solo and shaman can solo some as well. I just don't think it's quite as easy or efficient generally. Chanters and shaman area very much wanted in groups. I guess monks can solo some, but I don't see alot of it. I have no idea about rangers soloing, but I don't think it's very effective in classic. Melee is very much wanted in classic and there is a shortage in general. They can't solo though.
Check out the poll on the site. It gives the breakdown of classes from a week ago or so.
In response the above chart: I wouldn't put mages or necros last. Their pets give constant dps and don't need to be healed. Wizards are lower on the dps list at this point, but get alot better in kunark. Alot of people know that mages are over powered and want them in groups. Necros have good dps and don't need any healing usually. Necros are also very valuable when fighting undead, especially places like unrest.
