@Striiker: I /salute your elaboration. I toyed with the idea to create another class and make some money until Kunark arrives. Hmm, I guess I'll give it another shot. I've never played a pure caster before. Intriguing... how about a wiz/mag soloing capabilities in the classic world? Although I've never even thought about playing a necro. So many choices.
While I see that you opted to play a Druid, I did want to answer your question regarding Wizards / Magician soloing capabilities.. I can't speak for Mages from personal play experience as I never played on however I have heard that they are great for soloing and are second only to Necro's.
I did ply a wizard on live in the classic days. It was my second character and my first serious play character. I ran him up to 50. Soloing is doable however it takes a while due to the massive mana pool which wizards get. The only way I could effectively solo (and I guess this negates the true soloing aspect) was to get clarity and SOW. I would up getting Jboots from Drelzna (before they moved them to a quested item) so I was left just looking for clarity. With our teleport capabilities, it was easy to find an enchanter and port to that person and grab clarity for a donation. I personally wouldn't recommend a wizard for prolonged soloing. Necromancers, Magicians and Druids do well.
Good luck! I hope to see you in game some day!
