Voted no.

Soloing with axes is not a very good idea to begin with. Not all chars are great to solo with and I don't see why anyone would assume that HH is supposed to be good for for that purpose just because it is one of the later chars.

I'm pretty sure that you can have a good time soloing HH, but that would require you to have a good lvl 55 wild heal, which I don't think you use? Oh, and statting lots of int.

I've never gotten to play pre-HM nerf, but I don't have trouble healing on melee classes solo...

I sold my wild heal set, 178 MQ because I only used it on HH and it was god awful with the int of HH.

Actual good gear doesnt drop in this game, so finding hybrid int melee gear cant happen because it doesnt really exist

Hence why I said that you need to stat a lot of int in my previous post ^^

Have played around with it, it's still bad bro

bro look at the two people you're talking to on this page about good gear not dropping... lol

Well, like I said... Axes are shit to solo with to begin with, so I'm not sure what you are expecting? HH is like a worse version of Paladin which is by far the worst char to solo with if you are using axes ^^

Agreed, I'm expecting a buff

Could just introduce level 60 gear (would just be that level though) or test out below...

Get an MQ EE Battleaxe and EE Wild Heal.
Abilities: Use Salvation / Retribution or Slapdash or as a 3rd option.
Pump Intelligence to 50 AS LONG as you have a MQ Scale with 45+ Int and hopefully other mod like str/dex or HM (does not require high EE) or 75 Intelligence with a Stat Armor (some EE)
Use Wild heal on MAIN slot... look for other mods that help HH... Str/Dex/HM or Int.

You can also hope that you have some QD, but be warned that 20%+ QD can interrupt your next action if healing or leaving catacomb.

I am guessing at higher levels, you are still taking a lot of hits, so you can still use your EE armor while still having Salvation / Retribution.

Never know... could work, but I wouldn't know, never tested on HH since I never got one...

HH is the strongest character when it comes to groups, but yeah sure, solo, not so much, but imo that's a fair tradeoff.
What abilities do you go with? HH-ones? if so, do a climb where u try to use only doublestrike + maybe power. Normally I would go with salvation as a secondary on a melee class, but yeah, not on HH ;/

Imo the hh abilities are not reliable enough to use for soloclimb (they could be used for secondary ability if u want just because of the chargespeed)
Once I catch up on my transmutables imma try a solo climb, but will probably take me a few days before I could start one, these 40s i picked up takes faaaar tooooo long time for me to mooote!

You also have to take in fact that Paul wanted ppl to interact more with eachother back in the days and this was the mainreason why such things as Arena & Well was removed.
He dont want us to play solo, and that is that. He have helped us out with better drops (NO, this doesnt mean u find ee or high stats every know and then) It means ep's drop items more frequently (if it's shit? sure then it's more shit)
But at least it's more drops and they are much higher in level and magical type compared to what we had couple of years ago.
