Default Least time to 50

Which class would you say will require the least amount of hours to get to 50? Solo and outdoors only (asuming dungeons will be packed with groups leaving no mobs for solo play). And no bard swarming.

1. Ench
2. Necro
3. Mage
4. Druid
5. Shaman

?

Of those choices.
Mage hands down fastest to 50 IF you get yours hands on a torch.
Chain summon and PL yourself. get a splash of crack from a chanter and it's ez road to 50.

Followed by Enchanter if you know how to manipulate the game for 3 casts free kills.

Then necro, DoTs aren't super fast. Feign Death will save them from death.

shaman in classic levels S L O W
---
mage + necro can be leveled naked, arguably enchanter too with the trick.

Pet focus items won't be in until Solusek Ro.

Also, the fastest to 50 on blue, was a barbarian shaman iirc. But that was 10 years ago. A lot more info available to the masses now.

10 years ago when the population was 100-200 peak if that.
We're talking a thousand+ players packed into classic zones.

it's between Mage pre-focus item and Enchanter with trick . on green launch.
without mage epic it's maybe 10-20% more mana usage due to pet HP. but chain summoning is still very powerful. Mage fire per has one of the best damage shields.

Lots of players and mages may leave few camps available and therefor slowing mages down?
Necro and chanters can easier split camps giving them more options?

Enchanter level speed is not attached to being in a camp.
That would put the enchanter around the same level speed as the shaman.

Enchanters and well Bards can do this trick that will ensure minimal mana usage and max kills per hour.

Mage pet focus items main benefit is with the reclaim clicky but that's pretty limited benefit. On live the focus items are very beneficial but here? Meh.

I'm willing to toss my vote on a mage though. If somebody knows where to go and what to kill it's crazy fast to keep hearing dings.

I disagree,
Chain summoning may benefit from the reclaim energy but that's maybe 50% of the time MAX
The main benefit of mage pet focus items is the increased fire pet life pool for longer DS burning enemies. That you can then finish with a nuke for max exp.

The mage will be sitting 90% of the time while their fire pet's DS and dmg is melting mob(s)

Best case scenario for getting the torch is level 34. Gornit (level 30) can drop the toes. Solo a level 34 mage can drop him, otherwise they'll need a good solid group. Even if a mage gets the toes and can focus their level 29 pet the increased HP doesn't amount to that many more hits.

Level 29 fire pet is level 22-26. It has between 390-510HP; let's call it 450. A 10% standard boost to HP gives it an additional 45HP or around 2 more hits before it dies. My favorite zone around that level is Sol A, Runnyeye is a close 2nd. Mobs at this level hit for up to 50, fire pet will get hit for max more often than middle of the road. Hazarding a guess but mobs in other zones around this level hit for about the same.

Yes the fire pet is my favorite for levelling up to 50. I sold bone chips in order to purchase my focus items a few years ago. This won't be an option for awhile. If there's a better zone where the mobs don't hit as hard I'll edit my stance. The focus items are great (especially as a level 20 mage) but in the 30's and 40's their main benefit comes from being able to kill the pet instantly and finish a mob off with a low level nuke.
