Choosing the solo class

Veno:
Pros:
Very low costs (minimal repair costs, able to grind almost continually without using more potions than are collected from mob drops thanks to low spell costs, thanks to Metabolic Boost, Nature's Grace and Soul Transfusion)
Able to farm mats by mobs while pet engages mobs.
Able to get by with NPC, mob drop or quest reward gear for the most part.
Cons:
Generally doesn't kill as quickly as other classes (especially when pet is tanking something hard hitting, necessitating spam healing)
Necessity to grind to level pets and buy skills for pets to keep them effective as you and they level, or alternatively to tame new pets as you outlevel the old ones, which generally won't be as effective as if you'd leveled the old pets up to the same level.

BM:
Pros:
One of the highest physical defense classes thanks to self buffs
Has a self-heal skill allowing the use of fewer and cheaper mana potions rather than health potions when grinding
One of, if not the, best AOE grinders thanks to a multiplicity of AOE skills, allowing a nearly continuous chain of AOEs
With interval gear at endgame, one of the highest DPS single target classes
Cons:
High repair costs (especially if AOE grinding)
High skill costs (one of the highest, if not the highest, if all skill trees are maxed)
Must be well geared to be an effective grinder.

Thanks for fast reply.
I will try veno to 20-30 lvl first. There must be something cool in veno if there are so many of them and on every forum million posts suggesting to make a veno.

you must be reading some really old posts.
true, venos were gods - once upon a time; as everything, this game evolves.
while venos can indeed solo (even moer with a herc) a lot of content, they solo very slowly for the moderns standards resulting in very low profit/time.
