Ideas on yet another solo build

[ThePrincipal]

I normally play in groups, but with these challenge quests I've really been putting in the solo time. Now I want to start a new character focused on soloing normal content.

I have a capped cleric, pm, rogue, fighter, and lvl 16 on a warchanter.

So my build goals are something that can handle most content at level and offers different playstyles. Ranger and Bard seem to be the best bases for deep multiclasses.

I was looking at the Exploiter 18ranger/1monk/1rogue. twf pj tank with traps

I was looking at 12ranger/7wizard/1rogue. Sorta strange but the arcane spells seem very handy.

I was looking at 16bard/2fighter/2rogue. Seems better for group play

Any other ideas?

artificer, pure or monk-splashed.

I'm currently leveling a Cleric with Artificer splash. Currently 6 cleric / 1 Arti. I've soloed every quest on elite through level 5. I'll be taking Arti 2 at 14 to be a 12 cleric / 2 arti. Ending as 18 cleric 2 arti.

It's basically a casting Cleric (max wisdom) but Artificer gives heavy repeater, umd, traps, +20% to blade barrier, +1 to scrolls and eventually rune arms.

Probably won't be able to solo epics and raids, but everything else should be ok. And it's fun... plink-plink-plink

If doing normals is your goal, anything will work. But I really like my paladin 18/monk 2 (Plonk). High hp, good saves, evasion, high ac if you work at it, self healing if you work at it. An interactive class that requires lots of button pushing (a monk-lite). And fun.

ranger12/wizard7/rogue1?no no no no.
all the rest-Get healing metamagics,Get torc,And you`re done.
Lets just say it,its not a secret anymore.Any common gimp who have minimal selfheals and torc can solo almost whatever he wishs 2.
Become a lucky basterd noobs for 1 adq run.Torc seem to love those-
And i got one :D :) :D

arti-monk... very interesting. that does appear to have it all... good suggestion

actually the ranger/wizard seems like the most fun of them all. 12 rangers gives free gtwf, manyshot, heals, sprint boost, FE. wizard 7 gives more sp, buffs, ddoor, aoe damage. rogue is SA, DD.
