I noticed there are alot of rangers nowadays.. I guess it's because the removed class xp penalty? Well I'm used to solo SK so if it's not worse than that I will suffice and probebly have some more tools to play with.

If you can find a lot of animal to kill, ranger will probably be easier and faster than SK as both fear and panic animal use very little mana compared to darkness and fear + better dps with ranger. Ranger best class

Also worth mentioning, fear kiting as a melee is a pretty miserable existence.

Snare and sow.. it's not that bad. Alot of people seem to hate it, but I think it's more fun than getting hit.

true, but stun weapons help with that one. keeping in the hitbox though can get irritating; try duo the animals with a lower lvl mage, pet stuns, but you hover up most of the exp. I found fear kiting ogres in oggok (with necro)worked like this.

fear kiting tip, don't chase the mob from behind, strafe on it's side, i find it easier to stay in it's hit box this way

Having soloed thru a solid 20% of 59, 50% of 54 and all of 30-45, I'd like to point out that it isn't that hard if you find the right mobs.

Though, I also enjoyed soloing as a rogue from 20-40 and 51-55. So it's understandable if you are having trouble.

It may not apply to your question about soloing but find a druid friend and absolutely wreck any outdoor zone with animals by chain puiling.

I think it's worth mentioning that rangers are absolutely fantastic at killing greens at 60, particularly with a sky cloak. Much more efficient than my druid at farming.
