which char is easiest to solo 1-71 with
with around a 6000fg budget



post up what you picked and why

It's easiest to do with a hybrid paladin, best character in the game in my opinion.

Pump intelligence, with a strength charm, EE/strength armor, axe set, and a sexy heal charm

That would cost a lot though, so maybe a mage?

since the magic defense update , heavy casters is not worthwhile

hybrid with good heals will work though

I would concur on this answer also.

Melee / Healer would be your best bet.

Rogue / Fighter would be best Feeder options to start with because your next character is a Samurai... so you could use sword as a main component throughout.
Sammy / Pally / Monk / Ninja can also be made into Melee Healer hybrids... you will notice that you need different gear options as you pass... hopefully you get more fg while on the earlier classes to get the items to fulfill their requirements.

Warlock... this is best utilised as a caster/healer... BUT... if you have high melee staffs only... you can still turn this into a Hybrid...

Headhunter... well then... this is just simply a melee axe character

Alchemist... well this is pure caster/healer build

Hope this helps you a little bit more...

dont really want to make a hybrid


want either pure caster or pure melee
whichever can solo 1-71 fastest/ most effective

hdin. Early levels a little hard.

At this point... I would suggest what would be best as a final outcome...

The updates for caster has been positive for catacombs and a bit negative for solo'ing.
No real major updates for Melee... but they are better in arena than before.

Q Do you see your character ever going to Catacombs?
Q Do you ever think that your character maybe needed for Guild catas?

I have a funny feeling that you will go to cata in one form or another... maybe caster is your best bet with the AoE update.
Note... Caster isn't cheap... mind you neither is a good melee.

Q1- yeah i can see myself cataing
Q2- haha like my guild could get a guild cata going we have tried but with no success

ive put about 5-6k into my melee set up but was thinking of going caster when LS ladder resets
so pretty much i was wondering if its easier to solo 1-71 with caster than with melee
because i want some gg profs yes i know prof takes time but in the long run its worth it

how would I stat a hybrid. Fighter,Sammy, pally
and what gear would I need

With the Q's and A's... I would suggest a caster then... for the AoE
Since you have put that amount into melee... then those will be faster for you at this stage... since you have the gear
______________

To build your hybrid characters... you need to have a base final Stat for certain things... the following is ONLY a base suggestion:
Minimum Strength: 40
Minimum Dexterity: 90
Minimum Vitality: 40
Intelligence: Pump this upto level 55... then rest str

Weapon... Minimum 100ee from level 25+
Armor/Charm... Stats to cover the minimums listed
Acc Charm... Minimum 100ee from level 25+

Above is just a basic requirement...
I use this with my Ninja... since I start with 70 dex and other minimums are covered... my items are easy... this is what I MQ with from level 20.

Mythical gossamer padded robe
Level Req: 20
Physical Defense: 0 to 19
Magical Defense: 27 to 69
+1 Strength
+21 Dexterity this deals with my dexterity... so I work on INT or STR
+21 Intelligence
+2% Magical Damage Reduction
+3 Jubilance

Magical focused heal VII
Level Req: 20
Heals: 69 to 83
Mana Cost: 53
+34 Strength

Weapons and healing charms been stated...

Note: I even well items as I go up levels... I have a 99% success rate upto character level 45... I do not well items @ lvl50+... since I am robed and my Focus Heal is only 87% ee
