Yah, i disregard most walkthroughs and go in different directions depending on the character/s. But i think the reason i survive is the amount of practise i give my characters. And most of the time i pick pockets, which is another advantage.
I don't use RPC's, and i would say if you used them most of the game, it wouldn't be a solo.
As to what solo i'd recommend as a 'starter', i'd say Bard, probably Hobbit, with a Thief level around L5 for Stealth. Then go to L19 altogether as a Bard, and switch to Fighter. I took a Fighter level in between there to better handle El-D and Al-S (Infy Helm, etc). I fought with dual Sword and Dagger starting L6. No Light this time, but Fang and Stiletto were sufficient to the task. Maybe if you get Muramasa you might go to Samurai, or if you get the Estoc, to Ranger.
The one thing you may really notice the lack of is Element Shield. The only place this really proved troublesome for me was the few fights in the Rapax area where there were Samurai. And Nebdar got in a good Nuke before i got to her, that hurt. Scorchers can be tough without Element Shield, but they tend to run out of ooomph after a couple rounds, and they don't do more damage than Heavy Heal fixes if the Magic Screen is doing its job.
And Solos can ignore Turncoat, and mostly ignore Insanity.
I just started another Solo, this one's gonna be Bard/Gadgeteer (/Rogue)
