Which class is best for (non-gamer) wife?

edited May 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
So I've been enjoying neverwinter, and I finally convinced my wife to give it a go with me.
but I have no idea what class to advise her to play.

Due to the (sorry, really stupid) 2 char limit - I've only been able to test out the CW and Cleric.
I have no idea what the other classes are like at all.

My wife has no experience playing games, so I want her to play something where she'll be safe.
The less buttons she has to push, the better. :D I think if it gets overwhelming for her, she won't want to play anymore.

I guess I'd like to avoid a CW, since that's my main toon. Any suggestions/feedback?

Thanks!

    I would say that it would depend on what you're playing. If you want to make the game fun for her, stive for survivability. If you're playing a cleric, maybe give her guadian fighter. If she wants to play cleric, then you should go CW or TR, something high DPS to kill mobs quickly when they hit/chase her lol. Thats what I did, my wife played cleric, I went TR. Now she has the hang of the game, shes playing GWF, and I'm on cleric duty. Shes a bit better on her cleric than the GWF, but shes only just started the GWF. Hoping she learns it quickly, the mobs are getting harder for me to tank as a cleric :p

    I think trickster rogue.
    No to cleric because that becomes a huge chore in end game.
    No to wizard because that's what you play. Also, not that survivable in the beginning.
    No to Guardian because she will get tells to tank
    No to GWF because... well it's a GWF.

    Rogues have pretty decent survivability at all levels and can vanish when in trouble :)

    Not bashing GWF since its the class im playing and liking, but GWF have aggro issues against a cleric. A friend of mine has leveled with me together so far at lvl 23 and he just tanks everything since hes getting like double threat from healing aggro and damage aggro from damage to heal. But At my level it's starting to tip the scale a bit. I can only hopes it gets better lol

    That's what my wife is doing. This is literally the first shooter mode game she's playing. Usually she hardly even touches the keyboard.

    Thanks everyone. Think I'll have her try to start with a TR and see if she likes it. If not, try a GWF.

    Thanks again for your advice!

    cw and gwf become pretty much the biggest badasses end game...but i'd also go with a tr its the easiest class until mid game, but then difficulty for the sp dungeons/bosses rampes up steeply

    Definitely not cleric with all that aggro.

    Maybe cleric because of the healing?

    Edit: yeah aggro might be a problem in groups and stuff
