Least downtime?

[Supaskillz]

necros can pretty much chain kite non stop. bards can swarm kite nonstop if you have the endurance lol

[Hamahakki]

Bards are basically a one-trick pony but they get exp REALLY fast while swarm-kiting.

Iksar necros are probably the best soloers, they can't kill quite as fast as bards but they are a million times more versatile. You can kill lots of blues efficiently, you can kill yellows/reds, you can solo in dungeons, etc... all with basically no downtime due to Darkpact.

Shamans are probably third best. Mages and Enchanters are medium. Wizards and Druids spend the most time sitting on their ass. Melee classes for the most part don't solo well though if you are super twinked you can probably do adequately up through the middle levels.

Also, the question is a little weird. Are you asking who spends the least amount of time medding? Because a Ranger soloing will not have any "downtime" but will still be extremely slow and tedious.

This is a thread about soloing without downtime.

Obviously, bards are a versatile class which can fill a lot of roles in a group, but if you want to solo effectively you basically have one option.

Please read the thread before "lololololololololing".

Yes, the least amount of time out of action regen-ing something, or the inverse, the most amount of time spent in combat. And yes, regardless of how efficient that combat is. Basically, can any classes just fight mob after mob after mob while solo?

If you want it to be that way throughout the entire level span, necromancer is probably your only choice. Magician stops being amazing at higher levels, and shamans don't get really powerful until the upper 40s. Bards can't just sit down wherever they like and start soloing, there are limitations the same way there are to quad-kiting. Also, after playing a bard for a while, you might wish you were playing a class with some downtime so you can go to the bathroom and stuff like that without dying or having to zone half-way through a kite.

This is also not true, bards can at least AOE kite and swarm (charm) kite.

I suppose both options are kiting but if you're collapsing kiting into one category, then necros pretty much only have two options- kite and root/rot/kill
