Best solo classes in Classic?
 

I want an alt for when I'm bored of my Shaman. Usually I'd go for Necro but since we don't have Iksar yet I feel like the other NEC races aren't worth it. At least as an Iksar you're KoS everywhere but it's offset by great AC and regeneration which means you're meant for the minmaxing solo life.

So what are the best solo classes for Classic? (preferably in order)

See any number of posts crying about enchanters. /thread

If not counting Shaman or Necro, then Enchanter>Bard>Mage>Druid in that order.

Monk is pretty fun solo to

first time bard here. class is real fun; surprised i never got into it sooner. can basically do whatever the hell you want. group/solo/duo and get in and out wherever you want.

Necro, shaman, enchanter

Ogre SK of course. You roll heavy and everyone gives you respect.

Best solo class is tough..because it depends on what you want to solo. If you are looking at purely XP from 1-50, that'll be a different list compared to the list of classes that can farm items at 50. If you wanted a class that's going to place highly on both lists, then your best options are either Enchanter or Necromancer. Enchanter is the ONLY class that can solo Ghoul Lord, Froglok King, and Efreeti at 50...so if gearing out alts all by yourself is important, then Enchanter all the way.

Clearly rogue. Even better if you never upgrade your *dagger.

Necro is easily the best. Iksar regen is definitely a huge boost, but it's really not something that means every other Necro race is completely unviable and really isn't something that (in my experience at least) you'll really notice that much until like the long level 51-60 grind when you might have a bit more downtime as a non-Iksar Necro; but that downtime as a non-Iksar is also somewhat offset by the 20% Iksar EXP penalty, so the overall time to level is probably somewhat the same.

If you really want to min/max and also really like playing Iksars, then sure wait. But it really is the strongest solo class in Classic and top 3 through Velious.
