SK as a solo class

[MikeXG]

Not really interested in leveling as fast as possible, just being able to solo even if its slow xp (as long as its some xp lol)

its a toss up between rogue, sk, and monk for a solo character for me. I know none are "solo" specialists. Just a project I am taking on and those 3 are to my liking. As long as they can solo. SK peaked my interest a bit more than the other 2.

For soloing, SK or Monk. I've leveled both to 45+ and prefer SK over Monk overall because of their utility but once monks can bind wound to 75% soloing is very doable. That said, on my monk I remember constantly being at half health at the giant's fort in WW and soloing dark blues. Then just ran back to safe spot on hill and bind wounded back up to 50%. Rinse. Repeat. Was pretty much like that everywhere.

Shadow Knight's have less room for error since our FD isn't instant but you can work a few different strategies when it comes to downing mobs. They have similarities in that both utilize a form of fear and then beat on the mob. But if you like to see a wall of text for dmg than go monk. If you prefer to pace yourself in fights and be more tactical than try SK.

Neither of the two need all the gear in the world but it helps obviously. Rogues are another story...

Yeah, of those three I'd definitely recommend SK if you're looking for an easy solo. They're much better at fear kiting than monks since intimidation is unreliable and SKs get a snare to boot.
