Class for new mostly casual/solo player?

[xoF]

Like title says
My preferences allways been something like this:
Tank(Templar Aion, Guardian GW2)
Glaive weapon Fast classes(Blader Black Desert)
Assassins(Aion, Thief GW2)
Mages(Like Sorcerer from AION)

Well, for tanks you have classes that would make use of the Defense tree, from there it's really what method of DPS and support you'll want. Things like Stone Arrow, Abolisher, Paladin, Skullknight, builds like those.

Fast classes would be high mobility skills like those found in auramancy and shadowplay (backdrop & teleports, instant-cast abilities). Something like a trickster if you want archery as your dps. For something like assassins, it's pretty much the same but with a melee dps - classes like Darkrunner and Primeval.

For mages it'll depend on how you want to build it. Sorcery would be an obvious dps choice but comes with cast times, but builds like arcanist, demonologist, enchantrix, and phantasm. You can even pair it with melee or range dps (or defense even) for other possibilities like Dark Aegis.

Obviously something with defense will help you live longer, but because of the need for a shield you're stuck to one-handed primaries, which can affect your DPS. Thankfully switching skills is easy to do, but because each tree has its own exp levels any untrained tree starts at level 10.
