Druids, Necro, Shaman.... In that order...

Necro = solo 100% (kings like druids) + great pet dmg .. Pure damage solo class. Can solo anything if you know how.

Shamans and Necromancers take skill to master, but their power does make them newb friendly. Keeping track of many DoTs at once while rooting/mezzing and controlling a pet can get overwhelming on 4 mob fights.

no one mention a mage please...They cannot solo as well as the classes I listed, not even close..

Yeah Mages are great soloers but their utility toolbox is smaller than the other classes you listed, which means the other guys can take on some pretty heavy stuff if they are good players.

Pretty sure Necros and Rogues out DPS mages as well. On short fights a mage's burst is higher but over time a Necros DPS skyrockets.

Best Tank
3. Paladin

Best Healer
1. Cleric

Best CC
1. Enchanter/Bard = the reason i put bard here is purely for their ability to CC plus add DPS to the group, by either cycling their targets and actually melee'ng or haste/mana while they keep mobs mez'd

Best Puller
1. Monk/Bard = monk is superior in straight up pulling, but with some of the bad pathing out there can take a while. bards single pull ability is great (plus mem blur or whatever they get way later later

Best DPS
3. Rogue - given haste of any form will increase this class's DPS dramatically


Best Soloer
1. Necromancer
- are bards not solo maestro's on this server? i know that on live i can take down about 65-95 DB's at 50 without a break, or even closely dangering myself. plus the fact that on p99, swarm dot'ng shouldnt be nerfed yet.

Worst soloer
2. Rogue - due to low hp, low ac.


Best Duo
1. cleric/warrior ftw ;( haha i have no idea on this one as i've never had a consistent partner to group with. been all solo or group work for my career in the game.

Best soloer:

Depends on if you're asking which can get to 50 alone easiest or which can handle big mobs/camps alone once they're 50. Druids can kite their entire career, and once they have the levels/mana and can quad kite it's even better. However they can't solo break and hold tough camps in Sol B and Guk.

Now that charm is nerfed I'd say the best solo classes at taking down big mobs or breaking camps are Necros and Shamans. Necro gets FD if it goes bad and can do big damage, Shamans just have the most options assuming you have a large mana pool. Fully buffed (regen, haste, etc..) Shamans can tank better than any priest/caster and with potions they can even add damage shields and stack more hp buffs with STA pots. Combined with slow a shaman can last longer during the battle and it comes down to having enough mana to stay alive and do enough damage.

When Kunark and Velious come the balance of power changes, and Shamans really start to shine. Shamans were known to solo dragons in WW during Velious era, though you have to be geared for it. Velious armor + Epic + Fungi + JBB + Torpor = badass.
