So I was wondering, what is a good solo class BESIDES the veno, I've already gotten a veno past 70. So tell me, what is a good solo class that is also a decent PKer if played well, and by decent I mean can actually survive a few skill hits.
Don't stare at me like that, I just might like it.

    Barbarians are good at soloing and are decent in pk even if you dont play it well.

    Correct me if im wrong, thats from my experience of playing as a barbarian (very little x.x)

    Sins aren't bad at it either

    BM definitely, they can AOE grinding with low mana cost and receive little damage.
    Wizard too if you can play it well, since they kill fast->fast EXP.
    Psychic if you know what mobs to grind on.
    Otherwise, no other class is good:
    Barb: probably never lose exp from dying, but you kill too slow. Add in the repair cost too.
    Sin: too much time meditating and money potting. Still squishy.
    Archer: MP problem and close range problem.
    Cleric: not really good damage to get fast EXP. On the other hand you can solo many things that other squishy can't.

    if 50 lvl sin can take 90+ cleric then it means that cleric doesnt know how to play, if cleric knows his job, half of lvl 90 sins wont kill him

    oh indeed he could have, but I sealed and had deaden nerves, so it took 2, I had plenty of time to deal loads of damage. Was also a duel, not PvP so I was 100% ready to take the hit.

    for those that don't know:
    deaden nerves recovers 20% hp after a FATAL blow

    Well besides a veno, you have BM, Barb, Psy, Cleric, and Sin.


    BM = AoE, stuns, dps so good class
    Barb = High HP, sorta ok dps
    Sin = Stun and big DPS
    same for psy
    and cleric = heal and dps

    BM all the way. They can aoe grind for good quick exp, money from drops etc. Theyre damn good DDs and can even tank a lot more than u think. I wouldnt say its the best PvP class but once u know how to play a BM inside and out then u can def go RPKin with good results :P

    And in PvE u can def quest and/or grind solo by yourself not having to worry about much

    Psychics are great, but steal aggro like hell. But for grinding and grinding alone, they're great.

    You should try a BM, rumor has it that they're the next best levellers after venomancers (pre-tideborn release at least) and thanks to their marrows and large weapon range, they're a force to reckon with in PVP.

    Not to mention them frickin chain stuns. b:chuckle

    I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, and try attacking back then? I'd have you stopped for a while from doing anything.

    Sins complain when people say they're OP and then they go brag that they can almost kill a lvl 90 at lvl 50?..........

    i think someone got seriously hit in the head. 5x sin can't even use stealth against a 9x whatever. once the cleric get a sleep off its all over. the cleric can even ih the sin a few times in the 20+ seconds of sleep so he (cleric) can 1 shot the sin from full hp with a debuffed temperest.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.
