Hello,

I've played EQ a lot in the past (I was very young, and was never able to focus enough to level past the late 40s). I'm currently trying to decide on a class. I don't have a ton of free time to devote to the game, so being able to solo a bit is important. I'm really interested in playing a cleric. Is it really that hard to solo on a cleric when I don't have time to find a group, or will I be better off with a class who can solo better, like a bard?

Basically you'll struggle in the DPS department your whole life if you decide to solo a cleric. Any things possible, but that doesn't mean you should do it

Given your situation I highly recommend a shaman. It's the perfect class for when you only have half an hour to play and want to solo, but then on days where you have time, if you want to get a group they are always looking for a shaman.

I played a bit on a bard, only level 4 though, so not a lot of investment. Is a shaman going to work out a lot better in the end than a bard?
