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.

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

34-39/40 = tower in unrest. It's pretty unbeatable.

I leveled a cleric 1-50ish solo back before unrest was a popular place to be, and it was MUCH better to solo than be in an average (or even a good group). Still might have been faster to duo/trio with some twinks or a chanter or something, but yeah... normal groups pretty much suck.

Wizard/cleric then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Burn em down, afk for 5 minutes.

In reality its not that much different from a necromancer who has his own form of clarity as he levels...and the time you'd be afk is spent slowly medding as the mob rots to zero [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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

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.]
