Best casual solo class? Mage or Necro.

Fire pet damage shield is a HUGE bonus for a soloist. While a Necromancer may be better for dungeon soloing (since it's easier for them to split a room), a Magician is better for outdoor soloing.

As for guides, check around Server Chat for the recent thread on the same thing.

I just have a hard time picturing the difference as being THAT significant.

I mean, I'm by no means an expert on it, since I haven't leveled a mage (have done necro though) but I know that, for example, when doing seafuries on my shaman, the only class that was able to keep up with my killing rate was necros, whereas the mages on the island would always be telling me stuff like "Man, I didn't realize shaman could solo so effectively, you're making me jealous!" etc.

Yes, I realize seafuries aren't a very standard example, and this is also at higher levels where things are a bit different than leveling at lower levels.
