In terms of noob to expert, how are each class these days?
Take my list with a grain of salt, since it's based on one year ago:
From Easy to play and gear to Ass(assin):
-: Barb, Amazon, Druid
-: Sorc, Paladin, Necromancer
-: Assassin
BUT ! Keep in mind that every class has multiple specs with different accessibility. Trap Assassin (focus limpet Lazer around lvl 80) is quite newbie friendly. Bow Amazon and Druids have huge strengths but big weaknesses. Even Barbs have some janky obscur builds that barely work.
If you follow a guide, you can play whatever class: it should work fine.
If you want to discover the game by yourself (which I would reccomend), Barbs, Amazons, Druids and Sorcs are all very well suited for this. You will naturally be funneled into at least 'ok' specs.
