Based on my experience from the old EQ days (Warrior and Cleric to 65, Druid to mid 40s, Wizard, Necro, Bard and Shaman to 30s-40s), you can solo very effectively with a Necro, Bard, Druid or Shaman. Positives and negatives:
1) If you have the room to kite, you can solo almost anything. You basically have a "Selo evac" if you get in trouble (can outrun almost everything in the Kunark and Velious world). The downside is you are not an effective soloer in dungeons and cramped areas.
2) Druid. Can travel easy to "solo spots" and can evac when in trouble. Nice dots, decent nukes and of course snare and root.
3) High end Shamans can solo anywhere IMHO. Insane damage dots, ability to heal yourself, slow, etc.
I hear well equipped monks can solo all the way to 60. That's pretty impressive for a pure melee class.
