<div>We've had an ongoing discussion on the solobility of troubs and how good they are versus other classes. When we speak of solobility, most people think of how well they do against a mob of a given level and how many arrows they have over their name. In this regard, we are far from overpowered. We can mow through easier stuff (greens and blues) at an almost non-stop pace. We fly. As the mobs get tougher, we can take down hard stuff with the proper tactics, but it's usually not worth the time and effort. IMO, we are average at soloing when only considering what we can take down. </div><div> </div><div>However, if one considers survivablity as part of the solobility equation, then I think we're near the top along with furies and pet classes. Before I became a dedicated raider, I took pride in my kills versus death ratio. I soloed a lot and rarely died. I could also explore places and solo quests that would be a challenge or impossibility for other classes. I don't think any other class has better overall tools than us for moving around and then getting out of a sticky situation: invis, mez, charm, selo's (and harbinger's sonnet), and evac.</div><div> </div><div>We may only be average at pure soloing, but when it comes to survivability and independence, we are at or near the top of the classes.</div>
