hey ive been thinking of trying out classic ladder and was wondering what char would be fun/good to start with. keep in mind i am starting with no gear at all.
A barbarian or an Amazon would be ideal (neither are very mana dependent, have good health, and have level 1 skills that can be used until the end of the game). A paladin would be a good second choice (Might aura is weak come NM but to a starting player, it's not bad...you also have prayer to heal yourself so you may not need as many potions). Sorcies and necros are more fun, of course, but for a beginning player on ladder, they require more micro management (not to mention good gear) than it's worth.
Absolutely always start with a sorc. No other character is so versatile without good gear. No other char can mf like a sorc.
Personally I always go fireball sorc to begin, because mf is my main priority when I start out. Some of my friends go blizz, which is a nice killer, but I find andy drops the most good stuff.
This late in the season, people would be giving away shards by the dozens, I know I do. So you should be able to get some cheap, if not free sorc gear.
I started out with a zon... the build got to like to lvl 70 b4 i stoped lvlin her. The build really sucked cuz i just maxed out the fire arrow thing and that really sucked. Zons probably isnt a good char to start out on since good bows are hard to come by.
If u wanna go solo go with necro, i find that summon necros are the most fun to play with because raising armies to do your bidding is quite fun, even though that isnt effective for dueling.
I have to disagree with you guys about starting on Sorcs. Their survivablity is really low, which in my exprience makes it difficult to play with, not even to mention sorcs below lvl 24 suck, expect fire sorcs. You really have to know how to build a sorc correctly to make it fun later on. Dont get me wrong, Sorcs is my favorite char, sorcs probably take the most skill to play, Orb sorcs > Billz, fire sorcs. Orb sorc ownz joo all.
Barbs, I find is a good char to start out on, just keep plugin all your stats into vit.. lol.

Bahh...Humbug. He said he wants fun, nothing is more fun (most of the time) than a party, and chars who add something unique to the party are best. Well, that could be a few chars: necros for their curses (not often used anymore with the pumping of synergies), paladins with auras (but expect to only see concentration, and faint if they use cleansing or salvation or arent hammerdins), barbs with warcries (they almost universally have these by lvl 50 or so nowadays), and sorc with hi lvl static and tele (well, at least they can tele).
What Jezza wants is for u to start with a sorc for mf purposes to twink any char that u REALLY want to have fun with. It's true that they are easy to get stuff for. But I think half the fun with a first char on any realm is getting these items along the way. Problem is, when u play with chars in hell games, where the best stuff falls, autopickit cheaters make this ugly.
I usually start with a barb on the ladder, and max bo b4 anything else. If u cant find a good weapon, then scoop up other stuff, even flawless gems in hell to barter for one. Barbs can mf too, although far less efficiently on andy and meph than a sorc - best to consider travincal mf'ing for barbs, to get gold, then gamble, then trade ur gambles.
i dont know anyone who plays classic so i would also need a build that can fight on its own. i dont really want to make an mfer because i dont plan on making other classic chars
Orb sorc ownz joo all.
