Playing style, yes. Character race, no. I too am a wood elf and I am still
soloing effectively at level 16. At this time I can take on 2 risky's or 1
dangerous enemy and come out with at least 2 bubbles of healt left. And when I
hit 17 and get dual wield I feel that will give me the extra boost to be able to
solo into the low 20's or so.

Don't get me wrong, I group with friends whenever they are around, but our
schedules don't always mesh so I've learned how to solo too.
