I am just the same, I loved the idea of the Druid, so took it to 20 ... but the play style just does not work for me ... I solo most of the time, and I seem to get to much down time (mana)
I enjoy playing the Nero (lvl 18) .... but I don't want to be a hated class [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] .... a good necro would be my ideal choice!
So I am now thinking Enc, Bard or ranger?
I am looking for a class that can solo well (maybe a bit of melee and "spells or songs" and is pretty self sufficient ? and can group when needed ?
Any Ideas?
thank you |
Druid downtime can be almost nonexistent if you follow the charm kiting spots. It's definitely pretty bad when quadding or root rotting, though.
Necro has a bad rep around here b/c there are so many bad necros (nothing wrong with that, it's very easy to play at a fear kiting level), but a well played necro is highly useful in groups. I have several necros on my friends list that I will always invite to groups for a DPS spot. They have potential to beat chanters for top DPS from a single character when charming undead b/c they still have nice DPS from lifetaps/dots on top of the charmed pet. Even the summoned 54 pet can give monks a run on DPS if the tank is positioning for backstabs from pet. If you like the class; play it, learn it, get good at it, and you won't be hated. It's also one of the best duo partners a Rogue can ask for, so maybe I'm a little biased...
Bard/Sham are really the only great soloers that can choose to swing a weapon on a regular basis. Bard would only be meleeing while in groups, and sham mostly only at low levels and summoning mobs higher up.
Others have already covered chanter.
