Returning Beastlord, unsure what to roll?

[Cillaz]

Hi all
An ex Beastlord from Stromm back to relive the old days! I've been lurking on the forums and watched a few streams/YouTube vids trying to decide what to play but decided to post and ask some Q's.
I'm on holiday for another week but will start to play once I'm back, but my main Q is that I used to be a bst, but can't play one in P99. What should I play now? I don't know enough about P99 yet to know if there are lots of groups around or if I'll have to solo etc so that could impact the decision.
I made a necro on the progression server years ago and got to 51, but not sure i wanna go nec again. I like monks and played one to 53 before rolling my bst, way back when, but it would be hard from scratch if there's not much grouping in P99. My other thoughts are druid/sham/chanter. I like pets and all of these classes can charm to get me one.
Anyways I'm rambling, but any suggestions for an old Beastlord on what to play, instead of me making 6 diff chars and taking them to 15-20 and then deciding.
Also if anyone from Stromm/Inverse Logic play here now that remember me, pm and say hello!!
