Good casual, low stress soloing class - Page 4

Necro. You could easily get to 20s+ with no gear. Fear kiting requires one or two clicks every couple minutes. Once you can root rot you will never die unless you are retarded.

Well don't I feel like an idiot for spending so many hours staring at my little necro sprawled out on the ground when I could have just /q'd and gtfo all this time

Druid by far the most casual friendly class.

Exp wise you can charm solo as fast as a chanter. With the added ease of sow, or later even faster wolf forms and 15 min snare. Means pet breaks are trivial.

Bind anywhere you like. You can always port to a vendor or right to the bank in Rivervale and gate back without even missing a repop.

Camp you wanted is occupied? Port to a new one.

At high level can farm a lot of high end items solo either root rotting or charming.

Druid isn't the most powerful class but it is fairly powerful and very user friendly.

necro is definitely the most casual solo class.

pull a mob with your snare Damage-Over-Time spell, send pet and cast Fear, cast another couple DOTs, then sit down and med while you watch the mob die. sometimes you have to cast Fear twice.

and they have Feign Death so if you ever wanna just say "fuck it" and take a break right at that moment.... you can.

Thank you guys for all the responses. I really appreciate it.

It seems like most people were suggesting Druid or Necro (well, most people were suggesting Necro, lbh). I think I'm going to try both of them to like level 15, and see which I like more. I'm leaning toward Druid because Halflings are superior to all the other races, and I like being good aligned so I can see more of Norrath.

Necro is less interesting because it seems like from reading other threads that you either choose to be Iksar or regret not being Iksar your entire career, and I hate Iksar. However, it seems like people love soloing on them, so I figure I'll give an Iksar Necro a shot too.

Depending on how far you want to go with you druid (like, career), Wood Elf followers of Tunare are actually the best. Stats don't matter much in the end, however access to infinite mana-free clickies is a pretty damn big advantage that no halfling will ever get.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Warden_Symbol_of_Tunare (4 second cast infinite root, basically a 9th spell gem)
http://wiki.project1999.com/Gloves_o...crafting_Quest (PL'ers best friend, mana free DS)

As far as the Iksar necro vs Non-Iksar necro, you can overcome the non-iksar deficiencies late game with VP gear (soulwell clicky) + holgresh beads or always having stalking probes with you. I think a gnome necro could also just make/recharge stalking probes on the fly.

Ugh, wish the druid guides mentioned this. Oh well, I'm too lazy to restart again, unless you really think it's worth it.

Being a Hobbit is cool anyways

pharmakos · #9 02-21-2014, 03:11 PM

the halfling EXP bonus and racial hide/sneak might outweigh those.... its a matter of opinion really

baalzy · #10 02-21-2014, 04:19 PM

5% bonus. Meh. Means nothing especially at 60.

Sneak has some merit, lets you do quests you couldn't otherwise do without needing someone to assist you (invis trick or just charming it).

Wood elves get hide also.

However, being able to nuke a mob down 10hp at a time by spamming root on it for no mana is very lulz worthy. Especially if root rotting & epic'd. Could kill any non-summoning mob for 0 mana given enough time.
