Do wizards do decent for solo if needed?

Wizards are fine for solo if you don't mind quadding (with a decent mana pool), or burning a target down and going afk for 5 minutes. I've played with a wizard on red and solo'd to 50 but decided it wasn't my bag...so just gets used as a porter occasionally.

Top soloing classes? In no particular order...

- Druids
- Necromancers
- Enchanters
- Shamans
- Bards (swarm kite)
- Wizards
- Mages (involves a lot of pet destroying due to the 50% damage rule)
- Clerics (with undead nukes, you're a wizard! See the Swish 1-50 cleric solo guide!)
- Monks (less so, unless you have a fungi tunic)
- Shadowknights/Rangers (slow but doable)
- Paladins (ugh)


...shaman is probably the most versatile. Most classes ARE capable, it just comes down to what you want to play.

Shaman/bard/cleric/enchanter is all doable on a low budget... can't speak for some of the others.

Isnt enchanters solo ability defendant on charm, which is kinda unreliable? I played a chanter in old EQ but i mostly grouped.

Dependent on charm, yes. Unreliable? No.

I mean, you get charm breaks when you don't want them sometimes, and you get streaks of bad luck sometimes, and you play badly sometimes. But it's certainly not a struggle to earn xp just because charmed pets can break charm. Solo chanter isn't necessarily the absolute fastest solo xp, but it's right up there.

Dotting and meleeing at lower levels, than root/dotting later on. Sometimes 3-4 mobs at once when you get epic.
