Best newbie friendly class/race?(casual player)

[Seritaph]

Enchanter is a great class and a lot of fun, but I don't know that it's on my list as a good casual choice. I'm on the fence on this one, because there's certainly enough utility to make it work.

As stated they start out very weak and are difficult to get going. Very group dependent for the most part. It's possible to use the pet effectively and aggro swap even though it can't be commanded directly.

They also have a lot, if not the MOST, spells in the game. This is not only expensive but also makes for a steep learning curve. It's definitely not the most simple class to learn and play, though probably wouldn't be too difficult for a veteran MMO player like the OP, who understands basic mechanics.

It's most assuredly worth the investment, if a person can stick it out, but I'm not convinced is the best choice for a person with limited playtime. Assuming you can invest the time, practice, and patience involved with this class, the end result is nothing short of god-like.

I love the class, and there's nothing like it in any other game.

Edit: Unless you're just naturally good or lucky, will probably die a lot learning this class, and unless you can get rezzes, you will eat a lot of exp loss. Just a fair warning.
