Hehehe I've been saying this for ages ;)
Solo classes, in order of power:
1) Necro (yes, they beat even us)
2) Druid or Bard (I'd say bard then druid but it's hard to really say)
3) Magician
4) Dunno, does it matter beyond this? :)
Then again, my ranger is pretty easy to solo with given the right situation
;)
