Do wizards do decent for solo if needed?

Something preferably with DD and not DOT. SK does not count as his damage is DOT only secondary. I prefer take camps of blues or single yellow/reds when I solo. That is doubtful with a small budget

Give me a nice undead spot by myself and I'll churn out the levels.

Do the bard diet with a wizard then. I did it with a base INT pool of 134 and didn't build on that much all the way to 50 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would recommend a dark elf as bards don't like dark elves much anyway, plus you get to hide while afk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

wouldnt a bard be tough to do on a small budget?

No, gear has very little impact on AE kiting.

I can't prove it but I think I mostly solo'd my cleric to 50 faster than if he had been grouped. Groups wipe, chew through all available mobs, puller and tanks go afk, you split experience 6 ways... Give me a nice undead spot by myself and I'll churn out the levels.

Of course my wizard solo'd almost exclusively (near impossible to get a group) until mid-50s then got into AE groups. Steady quad exp isn't so bad... just have movies, Facebook, or a book or something for med time. 51-56 took forever, then I was 60 in no time.

Yea I'm working my cleric through levels at the moment and I feel like even with my AFKing it's faster than grouping would be. At 30 I'm doing 5-6 spawns in the Unrest basement before stuff is repopping. Will be quite excited for 34 and a new undead nuke $$.

After 35-40 though I'm not sure what all is decent. I'm debating between LGuk and Spectres in QCatacombs or Feerott? Thoughts?

Also wizards are bad til 29. Mine I rarely play cause root/nuking is so hugely based on luck of root not breaking and whether I have to med or for awhile after 1 or 4 mobs.

Feerott specs, good to 49-50...unless you happen to be in Qeynos or have a levi item for Oasis [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wizards are fine for solo if you don't mind quadding (with a decent mana pool), or burning a target down and going afk for 5 minutes. I've played with a wizard on red and solo'd to 50 but decided it wasn't my bag...so just gets used as a porter occasionally.

Top soloing classes? In no particular order...

- Druids
- Necromancers
- Enchanters
- Shamans
- Bards (swarm kite)
- Wizards
- Mages (involves a lot of pet destroying due to the 50% damage rule)
- Clerics (with undead nukes, you're a wizard! See the Swish 1-50 cleric solo guide!)
- Monks (less so, unless you have a fungi tunic)
- Shadowknights/Rangers (slow but doable)
- Paladins (ugh)


...shaman is probably the most versatile. Most classes ARE capable, it just comes down to what you want to play.

Shaman/bard/cleric/enchanter is all doable on a low budget... can't speak for some of the others.

Isnt enchanters solo ability defendant on charm, which is kinda unreliable? I played a chanter in old EQ but i mostly grouped.

thanks for the tip... yeah I do not want something too pain in the ass... at least with a chanter I know what to expect. I have pretty much narroed it down to Shaman/cleric/or enchanter. hmm
