Savage does it just as well, if not better.
Going int build mage and changing to psy around lv 54 is also a valid option, it's easy leveling thereafter as well. Level 6 shield and an armor defense staff are a requirement, though. The skill change and 1 skill enhancement stone you can get ingame normally for free. Twins are quite the necessity if you can't get too many buffs.
Human (str build(s)) is also an option, although leveling goes not as fast in early/mid levels. For str defenders, it becomes a lot better after lvl 105 or 110 (whenever they get their aoe).
Templar is good, but needs a lot of gearing.
Scouts are fun, but require good gearing and timing. Due to the necessity of timing, a hunterkit is not always an option.
I cannot comment on the Trinity classes. Although, you become level 51, with free armor/weapon and ses incl. after your first 20 min. of gameplay (and completing the tutorial). It's expensive gearing up thereafter, though.
Twins are now considered at least the minimum requirement for all classes.
