I am ambigous...I solo, but then I miss party interaction, I don't and I miss speed-casting and boots of speed

Actually, I find the easiest the sorcerer. Fighters are pretty much buggered at removing spell protections and at a mage's mercy

Soloing is a great way to test yourself. Extreme veterans go for the monk solo

Actually high level mages and sorcerors plaster enemies in TOB.

I wanted the mage stronghold. plus i already have to parties going(one about halfway through soa and one near the begining of tob) and i've beaten the game before.
it's an alternative way to play
Is that considered as soloing??? 2 ppl party... i thought it was only one [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm with Kaltia on this one; I like the interactions of NPCs and miss them if I go solo, but I despise the clumsiness of a full 6-person-party.

Ah... actually, Monks are considered the second-easiest pureclassed class to solo with.

First being the Sorcerer.

Try a solo Abjurer on Insane Difficulty one of these days.
