Best casual solo class? Mage or Necro.

[Harrison]

Post 50, this has probably changed. I'm not sure.

But, the OP was wondering about pre-50...

I guarantee that a necro no matter how skilled could catch a mage to 50. It's just the way the classes work.

Necro is 1000000 times more versatile, though. Mage is kind of a one trick pony. (with a lot of little tiny mini tricks if you're halfway good)

Splitting frenzy with an earth pet for instance:

Root BTs away from spawnpoint.
Camp out.
Login quickly
Hope one is still solo away from spawnpoint.
Kill
Repeat

I've done this personally on P99. So, necros aren't the only dungeon soloers. They just do it easier without tricks lol
