Make a human or Erudite SK. Flayed skin armor has great stats, it's practically free and it's super light. Even as a human you can get encumbered pretty easily so the leather weight really helps.
I've primarily soloed my way to 41 with my SK with some pretty skimpy playtime. This is my first character here and although I rolled a few years ago I think i was only in the upper teens in December. SK is nice because you can kill 1 to 3 mobs with a mana bar and keep most of your health. Then go AFK and do something productive for 5 to 10 min while you med =) If you are going to solo mana is really important. It regens so much faster than HP, so use your taps to keep your HP up.
Fear kiting work's pretty good, but it's slow. You have too keep on the mob really good and it suddenly changes direction while running. Snare and fear suck up the mana too, and you will take damage so you need to tap. I found it better from about 30 on to just tap tank and dot. I also make sure I use steal strength and heart flutter to cut down on the mob's DPS.
Nathsar Greatsword is a good weapon to grab if you can get it early. It's got a pretty low delay for a 2 hander, so it doesn't get killed as bad by the damage cap at lower levels.
Good luck!
