Hint: don't fall into the "fiteklub" routine - i.e. don't roll a melee character and then stand in melee range with another character clicking powers until someone dies, and refusing to use inspirations, travel powers, and accolades/other buffs.

Easiest AT's for a beginner:
hero: scrapper
villain: stalker
But that doesn't mean you should start on one of those. Like many people say, it really makes you a worse player if you learn the game on an AT that takes practically no skill.
Since you said about starting as a hero, I'd go for a damage class. Scrapper has an easier learning curve when it comes to survivability. (Fire/Regen BS/Regen Spines/Regen) Also a Fire/SS/Earth Tank will work decently well.
That being said, that is more like the training wheels. If you want to hit the ground running go for a blaster. Psi/EM Fire/EM with Rad, Sonic, and Archery/EM also being viable choices.
For a Villain go with a stalker. Spines/WP/Mako or Em/WP/Mako you can make either one decent on a budget. They are easy to play poorly (Just Spam sharks) and a bit more difficult to play well. (Timing Sharks with an actual spike, getting off Assassin strikes against moving targets, etc etc. )
For a Villain ranged damage class, Mind/Fire Mind/EA Earth/Fire work pretty good.
If you think of yourself as more of a support player i.e. keeping everyone alive, not doing all that much damage yourself. Ill/Emp or Sonic, Fire, Rad/Pain corruptors work.
For disruption TA is great, Earth/TA controllers, don't bother with defenders. Gravity is pretty nice too with wormhole. /Storm works well also.
A no brains sapper build being Elec/Therm corruptor.
Those should be some decent starters though Damage is probably the easiest to play.
So a Blaster for Blue Side,
Will a Widow do well in PvP?
my 40 Widow is seeking a 2nd build thats for PvP if it works well, any advice?

They were overpowered for a little while when Elusivity made them impossible (or nearly so) to hit. Since they rolled it back they are in the same boat as any other pure defense powerset. Anyone with a lot of accuracy (i.e. anyone who knows what they're doing) will cut through your defenses like tissue paper.

The damage nerf hurt widows far more than the elusivity one.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
if you have a fixation with pink/purple buttons, just roll a mind/psi.
(QR)
I Have no fixation, i was leveling my widow since im trying to get most of my alts to 50 now.
So whats good for a Red Sider to PvP with?
