Most suitable classes for solo farming?

[Allarien]

With the introduction of the WoW token I decided to do a bit of farming on my vet account (in advance).

Now I wonder, which class(es) are currently the strongest for soloing? Which includes

- killing mobs around level 20 fast (possible aoe farming)
- killing mobs around level 30 with acceptable speed
- soloing the availabe instances (at least the basics, SFK etc.) with acceptable speed

What do guys think? Pre 6.1 I thought that guardian druids are the gods of anything solo, but with the heavy nerf to swipe that's not the case anymore. Hunter is as powerful as always, but lacks reliable selfhealing and a tank spec.

I'd suggest BM monk. Their keg smash does a lot of damage for an AoE (compared to other tanks). Their speed is comfortable and they should be able to keep themselfs alive with heals.

DK for soloing. DKs are almost always " world firsts" at soloing anything. And that is for a reason.

Maybe I should have been more clear, I'm talking about level 20 capped characters!

resto druids

With agi gear? Maybe with the "of the fang" set?

Druids for the type of soloing you want. For high level soloing it's hunters (20 vs hlvl)

 

[Rhaellia]

Hunter.

In Cata a few of us on Aerie Peak rolled hunters in all hit gear and killed high level mobs with ease. It still works really well.

Going to miss a lot at 10 levels above your level no matter how you outgear said mob.

No. Some skills have high hit % like judgment or almost all hunter shots. I PvM a lot on F2P and can confirm it.

You were clear he's just not not an idiot.

For clearing instances (rfc dm rfc sfk) i'd say guardian druid with 2x Swift Hand of Justice is still the king, even after bonus armor and Trash nerf

Is there a list of such abilities? That would be really helpful.

Im currently working on a complex F2P PvE guide (and by complex I mean it, it's tons of tips and tricks) but it might take even up to a month to finish. I can PM you the list of high hit abilities in 1-20 range for a class you want if you require it now
