Let me clear up a few things about this whole myth morons push about SK's being able to "solo reasonably", a few facts from somebody who loves the class and played one since launch (live+99)

- your DPS, which is the worst out all the fighting classes except Paladin, will reach a tipping point and won't be able to exceed the mob's DPS (around lvl 35) vs decent EXPERIENCE giving mobs and your taps will not be able to keep up. That's with the BIS group drop weapons and well geared. Fear kiting is sorta doable, but again your not going to have the mana pool to actually support that type of xp grind for any length of time that would be considered "soloing".

Come Kunark when mobs get a huge DPS boost and the casters really get a fucking boost, you can forget it.

So can you technically kill mobs with no help post lvl 35? Sure. To the point it could be called "soloing" for XP on green like the other solo classes? No. Still the best group- duo tank and a ton of fun to play.

Killing mobs using 200-300 mana while only taking damage that can be repaired with a bandage or 3 is pretty good xp.

I solo'd KC entrance fairly efficiently. Of course most duo/trios are far more efficient, so I'd always be on the lookout for a teammate, but it was nice to be able to get some xp while waiting.

A guildmate solo'd specs from 35- 50 fairly efficiently on green, so untwinked.

I haven't noticed any class as being super rare, but a super rare combo is gnome cleric.
