i think your name suggests what you want to be.

Warrior can be more simple to begin with i suppose.

I would say Warrior, they are lenient to mistakes (thickest armor in the game) and easy to operate (auto-attacks already do decent damage). Assassins have thin armour and are designed to quickly jump in and out, but if you are new you might only give your party headaches because you die too much.

Warriors can be played in a simple way, but when you get better at the game you will find out that there's more to a warrior then rushing in and cracking skulls, so it never bores imo.

A warrior is a better class to start off with, no question.

Assassin players need to know these things in order to be effective. Warrior...warrior.warrior! Become an Assassin once you have a "basic" understanding of the mechanics of the game and simple offensive and defensive things...

Warrior is simple and easy to use, assassin is harder to use but has greater potential and is capable of far more.

The warrior is simple, strong, and can be honed with skill rather than builds. Assassins are complicated in it being that, if you have a sucky build, you suck. But if you bring a sucky build with a Warrior to the table, someone who has some nice experience could turn the tables.

So yeah, Warrior's are better for beginners.
Although, it is more expensive.

Warrior for sure, since the skills are fairly easier to understand for someone newer. Assasins require more quick thinking and knowledge of the skills, since most of them have to link together.

Warrior's are one of the best classes in the game, and are extremely flexible, something the assassin isn't. A warrior will stick with you the whole game. Easy to learn, but there is ALWAYS something else you can learn to make you more effective.
