Best class for solo

[TripleLegit]

Bard. No one else can kill 42 monsters at the same time. Plus they look awesome in armor and are great fun in groups CCing and twisting

[solutionx]

bard for the speed you can level up.

necro for the utility spells and versatility (my pick).

shaman for solo ability and group/raid desirability, and the best at soloing single targets at level 60, if you have the spare ~200k for the spells.

I am guessing this guy lasted a day maybe two. Would love to hear from him again to know he stuck around but I have my doubts. But a class for someone brand new to EQ that wants to solo is a magician in a good aligned race. Necromancer would be second choice.

Nah I disagree. Ogres make the best Shaman hands down; Regen is helpful but not nearly as helpful as having way better stats and frontal stun immunity. An Ogre has a bigger canni pool to work with instead of a smaller one with Regen and they quite literally mow shit down in melee. Plus Trolls have an xp penalty which is horrible for noobs in my experience

Ogre xp penalty -15%
Troll is -20%

Penalty and xp rate is shockingly similar and the starting stats are not all that different either.

Regen is more than just 'helpful' and a slightly bigger hp pool means ass when you're regening that much slower. Frontal stun immunity is cute, but not a game changer like regen.

How well does Monk solo in early and end game? Twinked vs not twinked?

A monk has utility:

Melee dps

Tank

Can replace a crowd control class by pulling single mobs

Can go anywhere without dying

Neither are game changers. They're nice perks to have but that's it. As a shaman you've got heals, regen spells, canni, torpor(down the line). Also, the slow spells become so powerful that the stun immunity doesnt play a very large part either.

The shaman class has such a complete spell line it doesn't really matter. For me, I'd choose ogre because of looking adorable when shrunk.
