Actually your ability to solo gets a big boost at 18th lvl when you get
Denon's Disruptive Discord. Just get your brass skill maxed at 18th then
use the all instrument attack (Horn + Discord, equip Lute play Chords of
Dissounce, play Hymn of Restoration, equip Horn & play Discord, repeat.)
You will take down blues & some whites with little or no down time. By the
time this gets too dangerous for solo work you get charm & fear. Then you
can solo by getting two like leveled mobs to kill each other & fear/chain
the victor. Also at that time (high 20's) you can go to the High Keep
basement. I found this a great place for pick up parties, and since you can
be bound in the same zone your downtime due to death is virtually nil.

Good Hunting!
