Celtic Heroes

I am not sure. its the simple answer.

but for one thing i think ranger has to be the number one class for soloing, due to these aspects:

they have the advantage of Light Heal, which is specifically designed to let you heal yourself in combat, so you dont need a healer as much. this could take up a large part of the healing requirement YOU NEED for soloing bosses that arent 50 levels below you (it doesent matter the star/difficulty rating: the scenario i am describing is a level 65/70+ soloing a catacombs boss like the Avatar of Donn, Incarnation, Kiara or Ducarius)

They are one of the most powerfull DPS'. this may just be an opinion, but i think it is so - Rouges are not far behind, though. perfect for doing damage, so why not perfect for a boss fight? their quick shot ablility and barbed shot are definetley packed with damage if you use the right weapons.

BOLAS. for anyone who knows anything about fighting bosses, thats enough said.

Steady Aim. its a skill that i use on my ranger to improve his...*everything you need to kill stuff*

After all that i must say warrior comes next in line. they are the most balanced class, with lots of vitality and great armor.
third druid, i think they are a nice class to use on bosses your own level (obviously in the current stat of the game this will never be possible with ones like Rockbelly, Dreadroot etc. ). especially love the use of natures embrace, which i cast before going in. sometimes it can heal me for up to three quarters of the damage i take, so therefore making it a third of what it would normally be.

lastly rouges and mages are only good for damage, they wouldnt last a second trying to solo a tomatoe boss though !

Thanks for asking, and i hope this has helped.

Is no argument. Warrior best overall. Balanced class.
Can go damager tank or both. Solo things easy with great armor. Skills have good cool -down time and can be used in combat always... never interupted.

Rogues will have hard time soloing things cause sneak wont work in combat. Also bad armor. 3rd place.

Ranger same armor as rogues. However rangers are good class. I say comes next after warrior. Can easy solo things with bolas. 2nd place.

Mage do little damage with not many options. Weak armor. Good for cloaking and lure of fire and ice. This be 4th place.

Druid terrible armor and weak damage, simmilar to mage. Good for heals and buffing. Excelent to solo things
with powerful heals. Tied with mage i put 4th place also.

in my opinion druid comes 1st. warriors are cool and all but they cant kill a boss with out using pots or having a druid to help them unless they are WAY over the bosses level. I like druid because they can ALWAYS heal in battle (with provided energy of course) and so they do not need pots and with a good offhand wep and a good energy or rejuv ammy they can fight many people that are higher leveld then them selves. (warrior is a good class to start off with but once u get 50k or so go to druid with a silver ammy of energy in hand and u will have a much easier time killing) (a good off hand wep such as golden axe of carnage or golden bodkin of spirits comes in handy as well) druids are also good at def because if u get a certain amount of stats in your energy if u have a good energy regin necklace u can put most of your points in to dex and health! (thats what i did) i know that lots of people DO NOT agree with me but who says they have to.

Yes Druids, if allowed to have the time it takes to take down a Boss or strong Mob can be very powerful. However, In a KSing at war server such as Sulis, good freaking luck being allowed 10 game minutes to roots the enemy and heal yourself etc. I guarantee that a Rogue or Warrior will come along and steal it right from under you if you are in Stonevale.
So, some consideration should be given to the state of affairs that the particular server that you are creating a Toon in. My main is a Mage. Mage is probably the second most KSed class in Sulis. I have Rogues (and occasionally Warriors) that actually park directly on me for hours (yes hours) at a time and KS me. This is because of war, and since their particular build has very few HPs or maybe no Hide or whatever.
If you look at the Mage levels in Sulis, the highest lvl Mage is 92. Yes 92, not 99 like the Rogue leader. Is this due to the Rogue playing more and being geared up more than some Caster Classes, perhaps? But in the battle ground that is Sulis, I would attribute it to all the damn KSing that goes on. The rogues can just slice up an enemy that much quicker, so they keep the majority of their kills. Some Rangers can one hit things as well and do not get KSed often. Although Bolas takes some time.
So, my point is, pick a class you enjoy playing. Odds are you will not have to deal with any kill stealing in levels below say 50. I usually play Mages (or Wizards) in every RPG. So I have stuck with mage. Rogues run the show in Sulis though. If a high lvl hunting group of say 4 Rogues and one Warrior show up to battle our clan over a boss, and we have druids, rangers, or mages in the mix, it’s all over unless we have established a “kill credit” by showing up first.
Have fun,

- For SOLOING mobs...

A ranger can solo the highest level mobs in relation to their level if they have the skill... and I am not referring to glitching obviously.

I have soloed Ironspike Disciple, Any of the Spearhorns that do not cast, Voidreaper, White quest wisp, Green quest wisp, Blue quest wisp before they altered it to cast energy shield... and a bunch more.

Basically any boss mob that doesn't heal or cast is Ranger bait... and with proper resist gear... casters also become Ranger bait.
