Lower level soloing?

[Effe]

I've decided to start a Guardian but I'm interested in how well they can solo at the lower levels. By that I mean say levels 1 to 30.I don't have a lot of time to play and I don't really like leading a party so soloing is what I'm interested in (I like grouping as a support class mainly since I'm not incharge or have to lead anyone or pull). Yet I do want to play a melee character.

<div></div><p>Hmm well I can only speak from own experience, I have a 51 guardian, very well equipped with almost full fable/legendary and several masters and I can say this.</p><p>Do NOT choose a guardian if you want to solo, not under any circumstances except if you feel you must from a roleplay perspective.</p><p>We are great tanks aye, but forget all about solo.</p><p>Even after lvl 20 where you get the AA for 25% selfheal you will have titanic downtime for power/hp and can't do much either.</p><p>Guardian DUO is "ok'ish" with a healer but slow with no dps, Guardian group is great.</p><p>If you feel you must solo and must be a tank class, take Berserker, or maybe SK/Paladin I don't know.</p><p>I love my guard, but I also love grouping and leading, when I don't have a group I don't get xp to be honest.</p><p> </p>

Soloing a guardian has got better recently.It is probably still not as good as most other classes, but is doable.<div></div>

The key to keeping a decent pace while soloing with a guardian is to complete as many quests as possible.
