<DIV>coercers are great because they can bind and you can grab one of their friends to help you kill him. Problem is if he decides to betray and attack you, your pretty much SOL. Furys........just no for soloing...and bruisers are halfway decent. You might be able to hold your own, but it will take quite a bit to kill him.</DIV>

For the sole purpose of soloing nameds? A coercer is the most powerful solo class in the game in that aspect, hands down. Not for the impatient, however.<div></div>

Well, I would say a coercer too.  I have a hard time finding non epic mobs that I can't solo.  That is until you get to KoS where they made everything coercer proof.  <div></div>

<DIV>Having played both a coercer and conjuror to high level, I would say that conjurors are the kings of named soloers.</DIV>

Hmm, Coercers still solo far better, even the unstunnables. Hell, for melee unstunnables I think you'd have to work at losing due to our double 5% roots. About the only named I've found myself unable to solo yet is the first of HoF. AE alone or adds alone is no problem, but they're irksome when combined. I have a few ideas about it, though. It takes a while to figure out unstunnables, but once you do, they shouldn't be much harder. Of course, maybe conjurors can solo the warden named in PoA, The Carnovingian and The Humator Harradin in Bonemire, Septimus and Ishtaran the Skarize in HoF, and pretty much anything else but I just don't know about it =p The only non-epic I can think of that I doubt I could solo is in Vaults, because he's just too damned resistant. Of course, if you're looking to solo lower mobs, Conjurors can do so much more efficiently. A Coercer's capability is dependent more upon his environment than his level in the sense that the only difference between taking greens and oranges is the degree of risk involved, assuming a pet-centric strategy and mob with normal resistances. The Carnovingian, for example, will simply not stay rooted unless you're near 70 with master spells. All 5 of the other heroics in the zone are soloable from about 63 though.

coercer can prolly solo the best, but takes lots of patience and time, bruiser can also solo very well, but can kill a mob 10x as fast, and get anywhere 10x as fast, so i'd make a bruiser for yourself <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
