Default What Class should I play?

Totally newb to EQ PvP. Looking for a class that's capable of soloing and does well in PvP. Originally planned to do Necro but was advised by several people not to go that route for PvP reasons. Necro's not so great in PvP? Would prefer something NOT Shm/Enc cause those are my main chars on Blue atm and want something different. How are Druids overall? I've always felt like they were mostly useless except for port bots on Blue but I've been told on Red they're a lot better. I feel like being able to port would be a huge bonus considering there's no /who all Dial ports available 24/7 on Red. I had considered going Wizard but few ppl said with upcoming resist changes they might not be as good as they are now?

Classes I'm currently considering: Druid, Wizard, Mage or Cleric but I'm open to all suggestions

Any and all advice appreciated. What would you roll as your first Red char if you could do it all over again?

Out of them classes, no money or gear. Go druid. At 15 once you get charm it is a breeze. Their also decent in pvp, ports and so on.

for the OP:

i'd still go necro. or wizard if you actually want to nuke ppl. nukes are getting nerfed but wizards will still be able to nuke with Lures. druid/mages etc. wont be able to land anything after next patch

also clerics are always welcomed in any group/guild, you won't get kills but a good cleric will support his team and heals are obviously important in pvp

Also dispell with dots should work alot different. Wizard sucks for first character with no gear though.

Druid is a solid choice. Healers tend to be in short supply while leveling up and druids can solo pretty well when groups aren't available. Tanks often times are the next-most rare (Rogues are abundant so DPS roles are usually covered. I've been the tank in 90% of the groups I've been in on my ranger and the times when I wasn't the tank... it was another ranger doing it) Ports also make it easy to get money to jump-start other characters.

Druid DOTs should be interesting once dispel gets reworked for PVP, since it won't be as easy for people to remove them.
