List of Solo Builds

[Laeelin]

I would like to compile a list of good soloing builds. I'm starting with just 3 that I actually play, but there are many many more. If you know of a good solo build please post a link to it and I will add it to the list.

Shameless Guild Plug: If you are interested in these builds, there's a chance you may be interested in a guild for the self-sufficient - Brotherhood of BYOH - Where needing to leave your group mid quest is not just understood, it's expected.

how is a warforged build newbie friendly when you have to buy WF or be VIP? seems most newbies would be f2p

That's a good point. I was thinking along the lines of gear, not about f2p. I'll change it.

[Phidius]

If I was F2P, WF would be the first thing I'd buy. I'd say a build is newbie friendly based on the amount of game knowledge is needed to pull it off successfully, and equipment that cannot be bought in the store.

With the direction the game is going, it might be easier to list builds that can't solo easily.

Not trying to self promote but

Devoted Ninja is a great solo build.
As well as the Texas Hold Em.

Take a look at Solardawnings builds and thanimals/phidius.

They all have nice builds IMO

[Izzywhatever]

Excellent idea Laeelin, I was looking for something like that, I do have Warforged so, I will create a FvS and The HHH, that means 2 style of play covered Anyone else have builds they know that would fit the criteria and cover other play styles ?

Keep'em coming

Zen Arcane Archer (crappy name, should have gone with Radiant Archer)
Race: Elf
Class Breakdown: Cleric(17)/Fighter(2)/Wizard(1)
Newbie Friendly: No
Trap Skills: NONE
Open Locks: NONE
Healing Method: 17 Levels of Cleric
Preferred Killing Method: 1-8: Turn Undead. 9-12: ? 13-20: Arcane Archer DPS + Blade Barrier.

This is the build that im playing at the moment. In the lower levels she was faster at clearing wings in Bloody Crypt than a firewalling wizard and at higher levels she's totally come into her own filling in all the gaps that you have when blade barriering with her ranged DPS (mobs not chasing you into blade barriers? Porcupine them. (Not applicable to solo play but) Party members too dumb to kite mobs into your blade barriers? Manyshot them and get the aggro yourself).

The 9-12 level range is a bit trickier as your turn undeads have been diluted but you don't have access to blade barrier yet. Still some sweet ranged DPS though.

I'm not much of a soloer but ive been doing it a lot more now that ive got blade barrier and it's an absolute ball. I'm starting to look at quests like madstone crator and others and evaluating how i would solo them.
