it is a burden not being able to bind affinity or gate, especially considering they have no running speed spells?

I would consider ranger but again I hear they are kind of unwanted in raids.

I am not necessarily looking for a solo class, but want something that can hold its own to solo small groups of blues when I cannot find a group. I know PAladins can heal themselves, Shadowknights can in a fight (though the lifetaps though both are extremly weak.)
