Last time i attempted to play, I was playing a slayer till i hit lvl 40, then made a reaper and hit 60 and stopped playing.

is it worth coming back to play once in awhile?

if so, what would u suggest so i can solo elites while lvling?

archer?

What do you mean by solo elites?? BAMs??

And I would always play warrior, those are definitely fun if you're good with them.

Depends on whether you like ranged/melee
Or HUGE crits or moderate crits with more crit chance.

yeah sorry, BAMs

im used to WoW terminology.

im aiming towards archer, i want fast attacks with more crit chance

Fast attacks with more crit chance would be warrior since they attack fast and have a high crit rate, but yeah if you're already leaning towards archer, why not? Go for it, they do nice damage as well!

are they able to solo BAMs easily?

i remember being around lvl 45 on summoner guy that summoned thralls, and soloing took ages but i could do it
I want something that i can solo them but a bit faster.

You usually just kite with the ranged ones, Warriors just dodge, I think Beserker's probably kill decently too as they have a block.

If you want to solo BAMs, I'd suggest a berserker or warrior. One can block and the other can iframe forever.

by the way, don't forget to follow my instructions for free elite for free perks!

so berserkers can block?

my friend said to play lancer for soloing.. but remember lancers are the tanks.

im thinking archer till i can play reaper again.

cant remember my email i created just for enmasse so no 60 reaper already

Lancers are the worst solo heroes possible aside from priest/mystic. They have crap dps and will take forever, I wouldn't play it for solo-ing ever.
But at the end of the day, it's up to you.
