Solo Class in Hib.

[old.The McScrooges]

Looking for a fun class to solo in Hib. It would have to be a solo character because my French is awful.

Undecided between an Enchanter or a Mentalist.

Any advice?

Champion.

The best hib class there is, end of story.

 

[old.mattshanes]

There is no class that's the best i would say champion is very good though if you want a fighter class but caster wise any of those 2 are great.

 

[old.The McScrooges]

I already have a Lurikeen Champion, but I wanted a pet class.

I want someone to talk to....

 

[old.chesnor]

In that case make a light chanter. They solo great, and most groups won't need want you anyway

If you do play a mentalist, you will no doubt get bugged in French to join groups lots, because the mentalist utility is great for groups (heals, HoT, power regen). I am sure mentalists can solo fine, but they shine in groups.

Unlikely, people never invite mentalists, because no one knows what they do. I've been asked if I can pbae before on my mentalist.

Okay I'll try a light specced enchanter for a bit of fun I can always delete and start again.

And yes there are 2 English servers.
As per my signature block

Druids!!! Try a pet spec druid Do something differenet , everybody goes with enchanters. Druids get pet dot buffs and druids get scale too.. dot pull/pet pull let pet that the mob down abit than u just in the melee fun After fight just heal up and continue.

Just my 2 cents

i agree druid is an amazing and fun to play, it is like having your own personal tank that u can heal. but after about lvl 30 the pet starts to become too low for the mobs u are fighting.

the pet is superb for kill tasks tho and u will get to 20 very easily.

 

[old.Iunliten]

Unless you get to high 30 with your mentalist pets won't be of any real use, and still not are when soloing. Because of their mana drain.
So you preferably need to go to 24 mana first before even thinking about speccing light.

And the pets of a mentalist ain't as good as enchanters because
An enchanter can summon theirs at any time
Don't drain mana on having it

but mentalist pets are more fun

A fun and very easily solo class (atleast up to 14, haven't played further) is Warden, With all the buffs, self-fatigue regen, dmg add, bladeturns, weaponspeccs...it's just too fun . Solo with almost no downtime (fatigue regen and your heals work great ).


My specc at lvl 14 is somewhat like 11 Nurture, 6 Regeneration, 10 Blunt.

With those 6 points into regen i get a self-hp regen aswell, oh, i forgot to mention the attackspeed buff too!

and at higher levels you can play around with pulsing bladeturns!

Groups will like you, since you are both a fighter and healer - You fit in any group .

And you get your own crappy shortbow to pull with!

Anything I forgot? hmmm.... on PvP server i've noticed I can catch almost anything with the endurance song....oh that reminds me of the movement buff too...too bad you can't switch movement chant with the endurance regen...but if you got any other class with a speedbuff, you can usually sprint up after skalds/minstrels/bards....atleast at lower levels .

I really love sprinting up to the skalds who think they can run away from me

 

[old.The McScrooges]

Well I've got my little Lurikeen champ and Firbolg Druid, thought I would go buff and pet spec.

I even managed to get into a group

Getting past the initial levels is easy even for my limited French, but I'm going to be scuppered on the quests.

Can anyone recommend a site for Hibernian quests?

And somewhere to translate:

"I say chaps, anyone here a weaponsmith?"

 

[Pixie.Pebr]

"Pardon, je ne pas parle francais. Anglais sil vouz plait." - "I'm sorry, I don't speak French. English please."

40% speak it well, the other 60% speak enough for basic communication.
I never had any real trouble when I played on Orcaine.

Find a friendly guy to teach you some basic phrases once you are online and /macro them

 

[old.The McScrooges]

I tried the "Je ne parles pas Francais. Pardon."

And I got back "English or Spanish?" Made me feel inadequate.

I've got written down on a scrap bit of paper 'can I have some buffs please?'. Just need to macro "Give Gold FFS" and I'm away.

/macro makepeoplegankme /y Donner or FFS!

No need to thank me

 

[old.The McScrooges]

Makepeoplegankme wouldn't fit.

I could do:

/macro n00b /y Argent Urgent!!!1

Though I'd feel cheap and dirty macroing buff and gold requests.

Hmmmm....
