kinda depends what u mean with 'pve char'

solo?
solo with buffbot?
grouped?

exp and fun to 50?
farming at 50?

Mana specced enchanter. Focus pulls are dominating all xp groups atm. You can solo and powerlevel others. With the help of a healer (mostly peeps use druids) alt or friend you can race to 50 without having to wait for xp groups to fill up etc. On the other hand it's very boring and you'll miss the company of other players (or at least I would... afterall you don't play a mmorpg to be on your own).

Other than that:
- Wardens are very versatile. Pbt is a very good protection for the group (even in a focus group; things sometimes do go wrong and pbt can save the day), and you can be healer and tank. They're also famous for being able to go afk without hampering the group. Disclaimer: I was never an afk-type warden !!11!!!1!!!!!
- Shield tank. Someone being able to guard/protect/intercept in xp groups really increases the survivability.
- Druids. Everybody needs a healer, and a druid is the first people will look for.
- Mentalist. Good utlity on this class.

no no really good better then them evil mana focus chanters hate em everyone seem to have one to take the spot you want when your a littul lubie nightshady..

AFK Wardens? Pffbt scum of the earth, give all other Wardens a bad name! ...

...Ok so personally I went AFK at fins at lvl 49 and came back to find I was lvl 50 but that was a one off, I swear!!!!

well the yanks are focus pulling 80% of the galla mobs with 5 (or less) man teams.

Chanter pets are very overpowered specially when fully buffed. Combine that with the fact that mana spec is still lethal in all forms of RVR (roaming, keep defense, mass standoffs ((suicide moc mobs))) and you have possibly on the of the most versatile and powerful classes in the game.

The mana chanter is definetly uber. but this uberness comes with a price. Every fooker and his son has one (with the same spec)which takes away the sense of identity and orignality, and also will prolly actract the attention on the most deadly enemy in the game. (no not zerkers, the nerf bat!)
but chanters are still undeniably a cool class to play.

imo a manachanter is the best overall-char in game. including farming, exping, PLing, soloing, RvRing etc

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

nerf chanters imho ^^

 

[Marwolaeth]

Nerf all Albion......IMHO (H = Humble)

 

[Kurik BHM]

necro > all atleast in pve solo

 

[Spamb0t]

i wouldnt say a manachanter is the best *solo* farmer/PL'er... my ranger does better solo then i do with chanter solo
pow takes long to regen.. end does not

 

[boni_ofdavoid]

Manachanter for sure, most usefull pve character.

But... everyone who said that manachanters solo the best are wrong:-

a). Finding grouped mobs to take advatage to focus pulling 3+ can be awkward, if you get any decent rate of pull youll clear the spawn and be waiting on pops.

b). Mana downtime after a decent pull is bad. You might be able to pull 3 yellow/or con, but after healing the pet and resting your overall return aint that great.

My void eld is so much better at soloing than my manachanter.

But put any type of healer (even a lowbie) with a manachanter and they will beat any other 2+ team.

 

[old.Gillaien]

Light mentalist. Best variaty and dmg output combined with great utility, and the upcoming patch will make him simply the uber char

 

[old.Moriaana]

Nature druid

Can chain orange mobs, kill one every 20-30 seconds or so

No DT waiting for end ( no styles )

No DT waiting for mana ( regens while fighting )

And if it goes horribly wrong, u got 2 insta heals and 2 insta roots

Who says my spec sucks

 

[old.Mitsu]

Hard to beat a manachanter. The population dont lie.

Edit: Champions are good soloers aswell. Throw in a bard and you got a lawnmower. But downtime can get a bit high when alone.
