Best class for soloing anything in PvE?

Bardagg · 11-08-2012, 11:51 PM

Hi!

I'm coming back to the game after several years away. What class is best able to solo anything in PvE, without a Merc? I'm interested in soloing dungeons as well.

I'm hoping that it's one of the Mage variants, but I'm open to any idea.

Thanks in advance!

Monk, Paladin, Shadowknight are probably the best solo classes at the moment.

Can own some pve face with my inq. They are very underpowered though because they have to click on heals.

I love my paladin, but i do also solo some with my beastlord or my bard. Best bet is, to choose a class which can take some damge or heal. But all classes are as good to solo as good as the gear is you wear.

OP specifically asked "without a Merc". Please try again.

All 25 classes can easily solo from 1-92. Dungeons at level 90+ is where things start to depend on chosen class.

I have played about 7 classes and so far the only class I have had no trouble soloing with is Ranger. They are huge damage and can take a hit. Just make sure you get the researched bow ever 20 levels and you will scream thru mobs. I rarely use a merc...not needed the ranger does more damage than a merc.

If you've got a merc, you aren't really soloing the content....
