Stam Sorc and Mag Sorc are both excellent solo. Great self healing, mobility and damage. I haven't played much Necro yet, but I main a Stam Sorc and solo a lot.

You get an attribute respec scroll as you level up and its bound to the character so it cannot be shared across the account.

Id start mag until you can unlock vigor, then use the scroll to respec yourself to a stam based character. I feel for pure soloing, stam based tend to have the most flexibility (but take it with a grain of salt, Im no expert).

I can solo world bosses, dolmen etc with my stamblade ands only now a little over halfway to max CP.

I really like my magplar for solo play. She does decent damage, has good self-heals, and good sustain. I can solo all overland content and many pledge dungeons.

I second the Magplar as a good solo class for Overland/Public Dungeons. The Templar has a lot of AOE skills in its class kit.

I'm still a noob ESO player (CP 230) and I have not had a good experience with my STAM classes. I think I have not figured out how to play the STAM skills, or unlocked the skills needed for playing the STAM builds.

Crit Surge on a Stam Sorc plus the occasional vigor is all you really need for anything solo. Take the brawler morph in two handed to be tanky. You'll only have to avoid one shots with that really.

I survive better on my stam templar than my mag sorcerer because I know it better. Best way to get to know your class' solo capability, tricks, and nuances is vMA.

Stamina NB or Magicka Sorc.

Stamina NB If you've knowledge already with the game, it's a pretty rewarding playstyle in PvP and PvE it's usually the same as the rest of stamina class.

Magicka Sorc if you don't have much knowledge yet, it's easier and you can make more mistakes in PvP, for PvE it's pretty good as well because of pets and shields it gives great survivability for solo content, but unfortunately it's getting nerfed, if you're looking for the highest DPS, the stamina version it's better for PvE only.

Both choices are decent if you have time and a lot of patience to learn.

Playing a RG stamblade for years with a lot of fun, soloing all I can including most of the public dungeons.

Now starting a cute little Woodelf based on below build, it feels like great fun already

I agree with others who said that every class is cool and fun for solo.

Here are some reasons I would choose each class for solo. Hopefully this helps you figure out what you want to do in-game!

Magsorc--easy to play and master, pets make you less lonely, excellent defense, self heals, and aoe damage
Stamsorc--same as above minus pets. There's just honestly not a lot unique in the stamsorc toolbox--you'll use 2-4 class skills tops if you pick stamsorc.

Stamplar--super fun, has some cool abilities, not my fav though since it lacks a lot of utility/bad heals (assuming you don't have vigor; its main heal remembrance only works with corpses around).
Magplar--total "all around" class-awesome heals, awesome dps. Very solid choice, and the main downside is poor mobility.

Magden--Re-roll, except for pvp or healers. Arguably the worse class in game. Frost magic sucks if you aren't a tank, but sure, it can be fun in some kind of RP / "I need a challenge" kinda way.
Stamden--See comments for magsorc, but harder to master and less aoe/more direct damage. I personally love stamden, but many people find it clunky, perhaps because of the fairly chaotic/non-static rotation.

StamDK--totally fine, tanky, not much that makes this stand out as a good solo class--except being really hard to kill, at least, but that's rarely an issue in solo.
MagDK--I have a soft spot for pyromancers, but can be a bit boring in solo play. That said, I know I'm weird, but I have the easiest time in vMA on a magDK.

Magblade--Super fun thief style of play, the only class that can basically stay invisible forever (via cloak), not super competitive in groups (Which is largely why I mainly use my magblade for solo)
Stamblade-Boss dps spec, but a bit of a glass cannon (without vigor or gear considerations at least). Would be a fairly difficult solo class for a new player.

Stamcro--Kinda the objective "best choice" in a lot of ways--highest dps ceiling in game, (kinda) has pets), fun skills that are hard to master but still ok if you're still learning the class. Plus if you even get to group/endgame stuff (assuming they don't nerf stamcro by then) you're already in the best spec.
Magcro--Haven't played enough of this yet to comment, but my level 22 seems pretty fun, though perhaps not super competitive.

Get a mag sorc.

Get undo.

Keep spamming it until to get to 1.6 or 1.7 when solo was an option.

Since their trend is obviously homogenizing the classes, and this is almost certainly going to continue and increase, I'd suggest picking whatever class you like the visual effects of the most. It's that simple in the emerging world of uniclass ESO.

More important than class will be leveling the guild skill lines... that they will be selling in the Crown Store Those are getting buffed this patch in big ways, and many will be buffed more IMO in subsequent patches. You can get any, and I mean -any- utility that a class currently has that makes it "unique" from those lines.

All that said, if you see yourself doing any serious thieving, pickpocketing on that character, NB cloak will probably not be distributed to other classes in the same way that its Fear is in the upcoming patch. So if you want the option of stealth gameplay, NB is probably a better choice.

Other than that, healing, tanking, DPS? yeah, handwriting is on the wall, pick whatever class based on which graphics attached to its skills you like the best. Sad but true.

magplar was new players friendly since 2014 and still do it well, tx to Puncturing Sweeps.
pet sorc definitely very close too

What class would you recommend for a solo player?

Stamina or Magika

So far I'm looking at Sorcerer and Necro

Thank you

If you're looking in the Necromancer class. Definitely Deathbringer
