Class/Race advice for old EQ player

[rlsamg]

Hey guys,
I have a class/race question. Planning to start on P99 soon. I played from summer 99- fall 2000 primarily as a Human Monk (on Povar) and a Dwarf Paladin on Vallon Zek. I don’t recall a lot of the details of play honestly. It has been a long time and I’d like to play a caster/priest class. I’ve considered a mage or enchanter. I’ve seen these are common posts so I’ll ask this question a different way- is there a class not over represented that is not necessarily gimped.
