Considering the OP asked about EVIL aligned characters, ranger/druids are out. And they're rather sickly at soloing when compared to the real power classes, namely Beastlord and, of ocurse, the necro.
Tarv, you've got it backwards, over the long term race is pretty meaningless. Iksar are preferred in the *early* game for their regen ability, but past the 30s-40s it's pretty negligible. And since it's so easy to level quickly these days...well the lower levels won't take very long no matter what you play.
