Urm... who said Monks are not viable for soloing? They are very viable indeed... very viable... ...
Scott Lucas, a question, have you completed the game yet? Soloing with foreknowledge is hard enough already, soloing without foreknowledge is going to be frustrating, if not suicidal.
The following is not my opinion, but from what I have seen from the BlackIsle Forums.
It is widely accepted that the Dualclassed Kensai->Mage is the easiest to solo with, followed by the Sorcerer. Monks are considered easy too, but strangely Assassins are more popular despite the fact that they are not easy to solo with( maybe because they want to wear neat/cool stuff

). Kensai->Thief is considered quite powerful too. Take note that this is all taking ToB into consideration.
Oh, and Lord Ludtke. I ain't no Bhaalspawn, [img]tongue.gif[/img] I need my sleep.
