Default Favorite Solo Classes?

I have a warrior and a necromancer, I think the necro is pretty cool as far as my solo experience goes but I'm not a huge fan of the warrior after 20+ levels. What is a really powerful and self-sustained solo class? or your favorite?

if you like actually playing nothing beats a bard...nothing.

you can tell a horrible bard for a good one after about 30 secs of watching them.

What do you mean "actually playing"? How did you know I sit around for 20 minutes at a time getting not much done on a warrior? Because that's literally what happens.. Lol.

Running in circles around a giant group of monsters, staying just out of their hit range by staring at the bottom of the screen like you have OCD and continually looping and spamming a damage song? Yeah, that really sounds like "actually playing" a game.

Yeah if anything the bard sounds rather prone to abuse and easy advancement. Actually fighting things would be preferable. Starting to think Ench or SK I think.

yeah, that whole mass kiting thing never inspired me neither.
I played bard to 55 during LDON era - never soloed past lev 20. But groups always wanted me, cause I pulled, and Lulled, and mezzed, and Hasted and Slowed etc.
Now that was high pressure fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now a RL friend of mine played bard too as one of his alts. He would get LDON group together, and made sure to get a dedicated mezzer and slower/haster, turn on Mana Song, and /followed on the cleric [You must be logged in to view images.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

Play what you enjoy, but Enchanter tops the cake for me. So much utility. Charm soloing is incredibly uber for leveling and for farming names. It is also a strategy that takes skill to execute, so it is a welcome challenge in even a 15 y/o game. When you're tired of soloing, a group will eat you right up. Just put that LFG tag up. Enchanter duo with a Cleric is also one of the most fun experiences I've had in game as a Cleric. It is VERY powerful. The last I duo'd was in Sebilis, and we each likely walked out with ~5k pp in just about 2 hours. We weren't there for the pp, it was a nice bonus to the amazing exp.

To charm solo efficiently as a chanter you have two options. The first is to purchase/loot a Goblin Gazughi Ring. The second is to pass on the ring and play a Dark Elf for the Hide skill. This is to break charms instantly, which is more helpful than using up a gem slot with an invis spell.

Enchanters can solo very well, look up some charm kiting guides/videos. They are also enjoyable in a group setting being able to control big pulls and support melee/casters.

Bards are really fun too, in the fact you can pull the entire zone and kill it, they level quick too because of this. You'll get people bitching at you here and there which is also why you'll see some hate for the class on the forums.

It's always fun to see people go from 60 to 0 on bitching when you ask them if they'd like to group up for a pull or two.
