Hi, i am also in kind of a similar situation, i haven't played in years i started to play again some days ago, little by little, i tried classic Loki and the renewal, depending on how long time ago yu played you may want one or another, but in the topic of classes, well is subjective, just remember what character was the one that gave you more fun when you played, for me was the TU priest, and spear Knight, but, idk if is the best to start due leveling, but a merchant is a must, with overcharge maxed you can make decent money when selling useless drops to npc, Discount gets you cheaper stuff from npc shops, and item appraisal let you identify weapons and gear in the spot. All that can help you to start a second character with an easier life, and of course you want one merchant for selling stuff to another players placing your own store.
