I suggest one of the two Warrior classes, even though I main a Priest. In this game, Warriors are actually one of the most mobile classes, and while they're not known for having high DPS (that goes to every female class ever), they have a fair amount of health, and have a much easier time stringing combos together and interrupting enemy attacks. At level 15, a Warrior can either become a Mercenary (axe/hammer user, slower but stronger with various buff and debuff skills, in a game where all stat debuffs work on everything) or a Swordsman (greatsword user, very fast and has ranged/counter skills, but not that strong in comparison).
If you decide to make a Priest instead, I must warn you, Priests of Dragon Nest are NOTHING like in MapleStory. Since Priests are an advanced class of the Cleric (the other being the Paladin), Priests in this game are actually one of the tankiest classes. You're probably scratching your head and thinking, 'What?'
Thing is, Priests may be very tanky, but we have the least mobility out of every class, coupled with some of the longest attacking animations. Healing skills in this game have a cooldown of about 50 seconds - 1 minute as well, as this is a game that emphasizes dodging or outright tanking attacks with your defensive skills if you can't dodge them. However, we can inflict extremely high burst damage through our lightning spells, summon relics with a wide variety of effects, and have incredibly useful party buffs that other classes can't reliably replicate (and if they do, well, every buff in this game stacks).
Either way, leveling in this game is so easy now that you can easily reach Level 40 within a week. Don't try to grind, as grinding is actually slower now (not to mention a lot more tedious). Just do all the quests you can.
