New Player

For a fairly new player I would recommend Archer/Bard. I don't have much personal experience but they seem easiest to play as, being able to move and still do damage, and also as a ranged you will have a good view to observe what exactly is going on as you progress in difficulty, and if you decide to do some other role later on you will have that experience to fall back on.

That being said, there is significant emphasis on cross class skills as you approach end game. Bard uses cross class skills from Pugilist and Lancer, so you can really level a few classes to 15 or so and see how you like it, those skills will come in handy later on.
