New Player Question

[Snaggles]

I found a paladin easier to solo on a budget than SK.

For your first char I would roll a caster, necros and mages for example. The mage will be more limited than the necro. You can group or solo with either class. Once you are able to kill/loot/sell fine steel life gets way better.

If the enchanter is appealing all the better. By far the best money maker in the game and always appreciated by a group.
