Soloability?

[Aishrod]

<p>Hey guys, i will roll with a group quite often but they logg off before I do, so I was wondering... how is the Coercer soloability?</p><p>Basically  Idon't want a class that = easy mode and love a challenge. However I want to be able to solo if I need to, even if its tough... that just makes it more fun heh. </p><p>(doesn't matter if they are complex, I can learn <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)</p>

Soloing a coercer is hard to learn, and the quality of your charm spell makes a huge difference in the damage done by your charmed pet's nukes.  (Level 33 M1 charm is better than level 47 Ad3 charm). I died a lot in the beginning. But now my coercer is my favorite soloer.Btw, in a full group it's usually best to use all your concentration slots for buffing your group members, in a small group it's probably better to charm if you can find a good pet.

<p>Of all the classes I have played coercer stands out as the most fun solo.</p><p>You can do crazy stuff when it works. On the other hand you can die to pathetic easy mobs if you mess up.</p><p>I love it</p>

<p>I've soloed exclusively since RoK release.  I've pretty much melted everything in front of me including named encounters.  From what I can tell, it seems they fixed some things in our class.  I have noticed though that the mobs in RoK seem to hit WAY harder than I would have imagined.  I mean, I trained through an area yesterday and was nearly 2-shotted by a blue con mob.  Any way, happy soloing.</p>

<p>Somewhat newbie coercer here. /wave</p><p>My coercer has reached level 31 soloing about ... 85-90% of the time. I find running around with 1 or 2 other people a little more interesting since you get a chance to work a little strategy and so forth, but solo is a blast. As others have said, it's important to improve your spells, especially your charm, to solo. If you are willing to put an effort into learning the class and suffer through a few [Revive?] screens when you bite off more than you can chew then you'll love it. </p>

Frequently the pet gets the beat-down very fast from most 3 up arrow mobs, and its a busy time trying to live long enough to win those fights. Pulled off a couple of 'big game' kills but its not easy with the tools coercers get. Can be fun and rewarding, if you can get used to alll the deaths <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Coercer is the eaasiest and hardest class I have played. Deaths? yup, lots. So many my new guild sig has the mender in Neriak as the backdrop (cause it looks cool, too). I find I now get frustrated duoing or trioing 'cause it takes longer to do stuff. A full group is still fun, though. And death.. a small broker bill, meh. (I plan to keep mostly treasured gear fr soloing *laugh*)

<p>"If it can be mezzed, then it can be killed" that is the motto I live by with my Coercer. So if I can land a mezz on the mob first thing I see that as a potential kill. I have yet run into something that was not mezzable. If that first mezz gets resisted then I'm pretty much toast. Then atleast I get the chance to go visit my best friend, the Mender. But in all seriousnous, it is tough to play a coercer. The great thing about a Coecer is that you feel so powerful even with spells that do little damage. So that when you see a big ^^^ heroic mob somewhere no matter what it is you'll stand there and face it and try to kill it. Where as if I was playing one of my other mage classes I would probably turn tail and run instead.</p>

Greetings, im back to the game after a very long absence. Kunark and Sarnaks made me return <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Been wanting to make  a coercer for a while. It seems from previous posts that coercers can solo well? If one knows the tricks? Im used to playing casters in other games so having no HPs and dying a lot wont be a problem. I like a challenging but fun solo character. and charming stuff is always fun too.
