for solo i really recomend bard then, just got to avoid giants, but you can level really fast with sub bard moving march means get to next mob faster, noise means aggressive mobs wont' attack you first so you can not care about them so much and just blast away, only down side is you gota run from giants as soon as they spawn they can be killed though with hit and run tactics plus fear

Bard is alright for the noise and speed but having to run every time a giant spawns I rather fight then run.. I have cleric has a subclass recovery division and bless spell when facing a giant I rarely die.

Cleric, because of heals. U can survive mobs if you got healing div/orbit on. Bard's speed can be replaced with drugs (if ya rich), and noise isnt completely nessecary if you got permanent healing on. Beware of pt mobs tho.

Yeah I had a lvl 25ish wizard/bard char and I quit him cause having to run from giants sucks...seeing as how their the funest mob to fight *not counting uniques or giant party mobs*

as wizard you don't have to run for giants, in fact just cast fear on him. he won't attack you I guess you can kill a giant in zerk very fast :) fear lasts 10 seconds.

I would go for cleric personally, that's what I did. For solo you have recovery devision and bless spell, plus if you have zerk (which you should gain before a giant spawns, otherwise use zerk scrolls) you can take the giant of your level out in 3-4 hits. You can buy speed drugs so you don't need Bard for moving march, and noise only works on normal mobs so champion mobs and giant mobs will still attack you - and they spawn more often than you think.

But why solo? Party is the best way to level and it makes SRO a lot more fun. Forces you to make friends and work as a team. And parties almost always look for clerics, so you won't have much trouble finding them. I suppose you have to solo for a while, because people don't start making euro parties until higher levels (30+).

Party > Solo. And it doesn't matter what you pick, Bard or Cleric, you'll still die a loads if you're a wizard who's soloing.
