A few specifics: > Im going on what Ive been told (i havent played one). A friend recently herod a conjie - apparently the easiest char he has herod - and he did quite a bit of that ranking on his own. Eh, you could. You could rank a lot of classes on their own. I have. > another comment I heard was - if a conjie is prepared you dont stand alot of chance of winning the fight against him - which my response is, as a rager (especially in my case) you only fought them when they were prepared (I rarely got a full set of eq). Well, you never stand a lot of a chance of beating a prepared mage of any kind who isn't an idiot. (Prepared, in my mind, accounts for a whole lot more than just having your spells up). If you're only fighting them prepared as a Rager you're doing something wrong. Half the thing that separates the best Ragers from the rest is the ability to find or create those "pants down" situations. > Now I did better as Oblanaider - as Magtograme I had no clue how to fight them and died to Betazenth repeatedly. Since you mention Ob, I would have to say that if I were to pick a single class most able to rank solo, ranger would be it. 20-35ish might be a bit rough, but you can do 1-20 easily and you can do 35-51 easily and relatively painlessly. Yes, I have tried that.
