Default Solo classes for POM

Just curious what classes can solo POM most effectively, and what players are known for their prowess at soloing POM.

Shamans, Druids, Enchanters can solo deep into PoM...

Other classes can solo the front Forest and Rat Maze, depending on their dps - Necromancers, SKs, Rangers, Wizards, Monks, etc. Almost nothing in the Forest or Rat Maze summons.

This.

Either have Torpor/Turgurs and make the game easymode, or have charm and make the game easy mode until charm breaks.

Basically that's P99 in a nut shell. Charm and Slow are stupidly overpowered. If you don't have those, don't bother trying to solo summoning mobs. You either can't or it will be extremely inefficient like the Necro PoM farmer.

Thanks for all the replies. I was wondering if necro or mages could do solo stuff in POM, so this question has been answered.

I am leveling a chanter and mage which is 36 and 35 now, and have a 55 shaman atm that's been sitting on the shelf a long while.

I just am not sure if I want to dump literally 150-200k into shaman for spells/gears, etc. I figured perhaps chanter would be cheaper to do higher end fun stuff solo if I wanted to try that.

Honestly I like the enchanter gameplay more than shaman especially if I group.

I can see how without heals it gets hairy even at 36 lvl with the chanter and soloing. It's much more finesse than the shaman is, for sure.

My next question is, how does the shaman and enchanter manage the summoning mobs?

Also, what clickies does an enchanter need if they head into POM solo? What about shaman, or does shaman not really need much in the way of clickies?

Chanter needs a charm break clicky, usually the gazughi ring. I'd grab some heal pots too. Shaman clickes (other than epic) are useful but not necessary as far as I know - JBB and maybe fungi staff. Instacast spell duration clear clicky is handy for any caster.

On the summoning question, as an enchanter it's your pet that will be getting summoned...which is fine until charm breaks. Get summoned, AE Stun, recharm and reroot pet, back off.

If you picked the best race you press the "hide" button.

That or taper enchantment is 5 mana, go wild.
