Do you have HoW installed? If so than is no need for an xp cap remover as level 30 is quite high.

For soloing I recommend at least going with a multi or dual class character.


My personal favorite for a solo game is:

Fighter/Mage/Cleric

All the spells and protections you need, and is quite good at tanking as well. Plus you can find, and remove traps (you figure that out), and unlock chests. Who needs a thief.

My second class to recommend is

Fighter/Mage/Thief

Weaker than the former due to the fact you can't turn undead, and soloing the cleric Turn Undead ability is quite useful. The other downside is no cleric spells so you will need to rely on potions much more.

Edit: Third recommend class thanks to galdur for this one.
Cleric/Ranger
Lacking Theif spells, and mage power but not bad as you get some druid spells like entangle early on, a decent fighter for tanking, and summons to help later, and you have the turn undead ability.

If you wanted to solo with a single character than druid, paladin, cleric, bard are likely good choices. With the bard you will have to rely on summons, buff, and play for them. A bard is a good choice for a solo.

Druid, and Cleric will also rely heavily on summons but also participate in the battle at times.

Paladin is possibly the only fighter type I would recommend, mainly because of his turn undead ability. Which should become fairly powerful it will be the most difficult as you can't rely on summons.

Not sure if I would recommend anything else as you would be lacking help, I guess a Fighter/Thief combo could be made to work using the thief's ability to hide and backstab. Lacks magic though, and like the paladin will be a difficult journey.
