If you are talking about non-meta, anything works. All jobs can do everything, play what you enjoy most.
If you are talking about a class that is accepted at part of the Meta groups (whither you play meta or not) for all three game mode, I would say Ele is going to be a good choice for roaming, Zerging, spvp and PvE, simply do the the versatility of the class.

- For PvP, try them all — no need to level since you start off L80 with all skills/traits unlocked.
- For WvW solo roaming, thief is often considered the most survivable (due to stealth). I’m not that good and I can survive long enough to run away from 2:1 on just about anything. From each armor weight, I’d recommend necro (light), thief (medium), or guardian (heavy) if you want to jump right in.
- For PvE roaming, it doesn’t matter. Finding a class that suits you is far more important than trying to find a class that is theoretically easy.
- For PvE dungeons, it’s easier to find groups if you play Ele, Guardian, or Warrior. However, it isn’t at all hard to find groups if you don’t (just not “easier”).
tl;dr your best bet is finding a class that you enjoy and getting good at playing it; in the long run (and the medium run), that will be more important than choosing something easy for the short run.

I would say ele is good bet. If you happend to get some ascended gear you can even swap with your necro.
