Bard can solo 1-60 faster than any class in the game. But its incredibly monotonous and you'll earn your carpal tunnel.
Enchanters can also solo 1-60, using animations and charm. But you'll need to work on some CHA gear to make charming usable. I have an untwinked 20-ish ENC and nearly naked charming is almost impossible. It could also be that I'm just doing it in the wrong place or using mobs too high level.
Necros can solo effectively 1-60 as well, better than the other pet class, the mage.
Since you've tried both the bard and enchanter, and you think they cannot solo, I would recommend a change of perspective. These classes solo as well, if not better, than any other class in classic Everquest. They are also both amazing grouping classes, and you'll likely be sought after in groups when they do form. Which leads me to believe you think soloing should be easier than it actually is. Classic Everquest is not WoW where you outmatch an equal level opponent for your entire leveling experience. Everquest won't hold your hand. Don't give up on these amazing classes so easily.
