Honestly, a neutral ranger is the easiest way to go. Human, ogre, halfling, stone? Humans are actually pretty good for beginners.

Think about it, once you get up to ~35ish (whenever you get ranger staff), you've always got a weapon. A trained ranger can solo the stone golems for mithril with a ranger staff, making basic re-equip pretty easy, AND you can flee/cam to hide, so you can have time to look at the battle you ran from and adjust your strategy before you have to resume the fight.

I'd say neutral human ranger. Play with the addict perk. It's awesome.

Rangers, the reason I say Dark Knight

Rangers with all those advantages won't teach you as much about consumables. You have ways to heal yourself quickly and camo so you can rely alot on damage potential and less on protection. With a Dark Knight, it is easy to see you and you rely more so on consumables, which is more like warriors IMO. Combine that with rangers getting superb archery and you have a class that doesn't NEED to stay in a fight, which most other melees require to actually kill a decent player.

go tracker instead of archer then. you'll be more reliant on staying in battle, it *can* help you learn to chase, and you can learn a good deal about rare vuln weapons (useful for later knowledge as thieves, ninjas, and yes...bards)

the real downside to a dark-knight is, they are a more stealthy class than other melees (ability to put opponent to sleep, various mals and afflictive). a ranger is still very reliant on consumables, herb does have a hefty timer to it, and you need to learn about sanc and other things anyways to aid your pets.

rangers also have a much easier time at their lowest than dkns b/c they have accesss to pets and archery, which can give them a slight advantage.
