As a druid I never had trouble finding groups as backup heals, dots, and buffing. I quad kited only when I didn't have time to sit in a group for HOURS or when I was waiting for friends to log on or raids.

I call bullshit. Unless you were grouped with friends not randoms, then its no big deal.

Enchanters
Necros
Mages
Druids
Shamans
Rangers

All of these can successfully solo from 1-60 if they REALLLLY wanted to.

What's wrong with druids? i've seen many of them soloing and they seemed to do well but I've never played one.

Their toolkit is better at lower to mid levels. As they get closer to high level there are other classes that do what they do, better. Main problem, really. And quad kiting seafury Cyclops is nice but not possible anymore. Island is locked down by pet classes.

I miss my druid. I used to quad kite seafuries while LFG or waiting for raids and such. Was decent money AND fun.

I think druid has got to be the best starter class and the best lower level soloing option. I regret not soloing more as I have been leveling up. I found in my 30s that I preferred grouping and did that to level 49. It was tedious and mind numbing to find groups (and good groups). I took a brief break to make a bard and thought... I really should give this quadding thing a try. I went from 49 to 52 in a two day period quadding (albeit to my wife's dismay for many hours) at the spirocs in timorous deep. I also like the option that when I am bored and don't want to solo or group or do anything really I can make a lot of platinum just porting various people around. I don't see any class that has that option (outside of wizards, which I would never want to play anyways).

Agreed Caridry. I just quit my 50 druid and made a Necro. Trying to find a spot to solo got really old. No chance getting into a group, which I would prefer.

Default druid vs necro

I played a Druid on live till luclin and had a low level necro. On P99 I started a druid out of nostalgia and the fact I love the class and all of its lore. I got to level 19, got my first few ports and started trying to do some charming.

I now have a 22 iksr necro, and still a 19 druid. Soloing is going SO MUCH FASTER on necro, and easier. The rare occasion my pet dies I feel like I am playing my druid, except stronger.

Never played a mage or shaman.

Not one of the greatest classes. But I heard shadow knights are also possible. Well at least until 54ish, and even then it will be extremely slow and torturous. Not to mention you will need to be well geared.

Wizards are also doable, but they really shine when they can start quad kiting in mid levels.
