A challenging class?

A challenging class!!!

That's what I'm looking to play. I'm a MMO vet so anything is game. I'm just trying to find something of a challenge!

I primarily solo due to RL time constraints (holding a 40+ hours a week job) But I hear that all classes can solo in EQ2 but some are 'teh easy' and others are not.

I currently have a dirge, swashie, brig and a necro (just to see what easy is) at or around level 20. I'm not highly interested in 'having' to solo ^^^ unless really well below my level but I do want to be able to complete solo quests.

I played a rogue in EQ, Cabalist in Daoc, rogue in WoW and Minstrel in LOTRO. SO I've played them all.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and a great big thanks!

Also any of the main healers are "challenging" to Solo with. At least they take forever and a day to kill most things.

Why not a coercer? They, imho, are one of the most technically challenging classes to play. At least to play well should I say.

Agreed.

dont let them fool you. troub does no real damage, takes forever to kill something (same applies to templar,defiler,dirge) and does not solo well at all.

positive aspects of troub: high runspeed, thats like the best thing about playing one

good soloers are tanks which have the slightest healing capabilities (beeing any tank besides guard, not counting zerk as tank anymore by SoEs rating), healers (especially: inquisitor (best bet), mystic (also nice), fury (root'n'nuke in a wizard-manner), warden), and rogues...

if you want to play your class well every single one of them requires dedication... well... no sorry, fury/warden dont, skip those.

if you like boring spellcasters, can also try a coercer, which requires quick target-selection... and a fable for mages

coercer is a blast. So much so, that I switched from swashie to coercer as my main. Lots of challenge and l find my self pushing to see what feats I can achieve with him.
