Classes that can shine for a year of vanilla?

[Tenagra]

What are some underrated classes of vanilla? Like the other topic about Mages I'm looking for what else might be extra-good for the first year. What about Wizards? My experience with them on progression servers was that they were very strong starting out because their spell damage was excellent compared to how under-geared everyone was. Would this be the time to live as one without the same struggles they currently have in an extremely twinked environment?
