> Eh, you could. You could rank a lot of classes on their own. I have. ive done a few.. > > 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. I knew I wasnt a good rager. and especially as Mag - but my situation or his character didnt help - but I agree with you completly. > > 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. yeah I know - I ranked to 25 more or less by trying to perfect my skills on low mobs by myself - I power ranked from maybe 25 to 35 (in a group mostly) and then got a little stuck. I got badly stuck at 40ish cos I couldnt be bothered killing too many trollocs - there was one other area I wanted to try but couldnt find - and my attempt in that nasty forest area near I think highlords came to an ubrupt halt when I barely escaped from I think it was a marsh rat :P. Assassins can rank ok by themselves as well as can other classes (water forms for example) - I didnt want to say other classes couldnt the crux of my argument- i think conjies can do it more easily (they can deal a large amount of damage to a mob and can tank too boot). I probably didnt qualify enough what I meant.
