I've been away from EQ2 for some years and have been playing WOW. I understand EQ2 is more solo friendly and has added a bunch of solo content. I'm sure everybody asks which class is best to solo with. There's an excellent discription of classes on the returning players thread, so good job. From this thread, I've narrowed down to Monk and Necromancer. Both are supposed to be great soloers. I would think both are tough to keep alive, particularly at low levels. In the past, I have tended to tank and slug it out, like a paladin. I'm leaning towards the Necromancer at this time, but I haven't taken the seven+ hours to load the game yet. I'm trying to research the changes made since I've been away. The reason I'm playing againg is for the remarkable crafting system. My main would be used to gather ingredients and survive while doing so. Adventuring and grouping are secondary considerations at this time. In this light, what are the recommendations of the community on a solo class?
