Sorry, didn't mean for my post to lead to some arguments here lol...
I think I get what each of guys are saying. "Solo artist" led to suggestions of the true solo artist classes, and I get that shaman/enc/nec are the top. I just don't like casters, they bore me because in the long run their gameplay is so repetitive...they do the same thing over and over it feels like. Even though hybrids in a way do so as well, the nature of a melee fight is inherently a bit more dynamic to me. To each their own I guess.
I did want to play bard but but don't want wrist pain. And I also work with my hands at my job so I can't afford that, plus my friend is a bard.
I think it's pretty much ranger vs. pally for me. I don't like the downtime of an SK since they can't self heal, though I grant FD allows them to at least explore a dungeon better. I find ranger's style more fun, but then the drawback is the capability compared to a pally's dungeon crawl. I guess I'll just have to accept a tradeoff
