I would recommend either the knight or pyromancer, but also the bandit. Knights have a good shield, good armor, but they are also slow, as they are weighed down by said armor, but have the highest vitality stat. Pyromancers start out a level 1, so they are collectively stronger at level 60 than any other class would be, their armor provides good resistances, and the hand axe is a solid weapon, but the cracked round shield they start with is just about(if not actually) the worst shield in the game. Bandits start with a really good shield, and the second highest vitality stat of the classes, and the battle axe is strong, but their armor provides no poise, unlike the knight, and since the battle axe swings quite slow, they may get killed because enemies interrupt your attacks. Hope this helps!
