My 22 Fury is pitiful.

So the irony would be that a fury might be ok.  One of the better class types is the summoner (Necro and Conjuror) for soloing.  Don't be afraid of the bruiser either.  Most people if they were to make a top 5, those four classes would be there in some order.

<p>You're pretty much back to the same spot.  Go Fury -- you get the ports.  You get to survive battles, and you might just do it within 45 seconds.</p><p>I'd suggest wizard... but I think you'd get frustrated with the sheer number of deaths.  Fury doesn't die nearly as much.</p>

Also I would need a second account to use his portal spells. The Druids leave a hole in the air and if you are quick you can log on another toon and use it -- I know someone who does that which is why I want a Druid class. I think you are right a Fury is probably best.

I have never had any trouble soloing my fury.  I survive battles my other toons would lose.  Your HOT's make a huge difference, in my book.  My fury is my main for that reason.  I would say, however, that you have not yet come into the full glory of the fury if you are in your early 20's.  Once you have your two main nukes and HOT's, it gets lots easier.

<p>If you are in fact a Mystic or Defiler, then I can understand your post.  Those just are not solo classes, sorry to break that to you.  Unfortunately, the Dev's haven't seen to allowing low level Mystics or Defilers do enough DPS to solo.  My suggestions, either find a group or re-roll as a Bruiser, Monk, Warden, Fury, Inquisitor, Necro, Conjuror, or even a Wizard or Warlock.  Those can all solo pretty effectively.  </p><p>But, if you are actualy a 22 Fury, and still having this problem, I'd say tough it out one more level until you get Strike of Thunder, and then you'll become a very good soloer.  When you ding 24, immediately Master 2 Strike of Thunder.  Then your dps will be tons better and soloing will be a joy.  Also, upgrade your root and primarily root/nuke, leading with Strike of Thunder and then the DoT's.  The DoT's will break the root, so snare and re-apply the root, soloing should be easy if u take solo mobs.  </p>

Also while were on the topic of "Priest" classes, is it also possible for Inquisitors to solo + ^^^ named mobs as well? Or are Warden's and Necro's like the only ones that can do it well?

[Swifthand]

<p>Ahh very nice to know! I imagine Inquisitors will probably fair better dealing with caster and undead named mobs than Furies.. And from my experience with EQ1, Druids do well against melee names, and not necessarily caster named. Although, since Inquisitors can use plate, I cant see them having a real tough time against melee named..</p><p>Any Inquisitors out there care to elaborate a little on this? Basically what kind of named do u stay away from, and which types are easy as pie?  Thanks again! </p>

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a 71 Fury and 70 Warden. Both can Solo just fine. As for the poster saying they suck.. well, once you get to your 1st Big Nuke and Master II it, you will find a Fury is a great toon to solo with. Furies don't come into their own until then. They don't heal quite as well as a Warden, but then again they don't need to </span><img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>
