Best char for solo? Paladin?
Nerubz
I'm kinda new to this game (playing for 2 weeks maybe) and I need to know which is the best char/build to solo with, cuz I need to make money, buy items for my main char and so on...

/me checks for Paladin on his character list....nope not there 
Play the game as normal with any charcter, you will get plenty of money for your every day needs by just progressing through the game. You can find runes along the way as well as materials.
My advice, pick up everything you can. If it can be id'd do so. Most of the time in the early game it isn't worth it to salvage materials unless the item you would be geeting is worth more than the cost of a salvage (4gld/salvage usually)
Any items you don't salvage sell. This is usally true for all blue and white items.

I agree with the pick up anything you can. But anyways, 55 monk is best for farming/soloing any warrior "monsters". Anything else will strip you of your enchantments and then, bye bye. lol

So I dont need to make a char good at solo to gain plenty of money in this game? Strange... :P
Ok just finish th sentence: The best character to solo is ../.. .
Thanks!

depends on the area :P
55hp monk most of the time, but you need money to set that up
w/mo can be good
r/me can be good
well actually... you'll find a solo build for just about every possible class out there.

Sorry but im noob... whats a 55 monk?
FlammingRose
Paladin?? this is not D2 or WoW
the 55 hp monk uses protective spirit to stay alive and can pretty much tank any creatures except for ones that strip enchants
Since you are new(and probably poor), you should try a warrior/monk build, i find that i can solo most of the places with my warrior that the 55 hp monk can, also they are much cheaper to make, with the monk costing at least 50k to make(5 sup runes)

First off, the monk pushes his/her HP down to 105 by having a superior rune on all 5 armor parts. He/she will then utilize the (in)famous Grim Cesta which is given as a quest reward after doing the quest Cities of Ascalon. This item has a -50 HP penalty, making the monk's HP go down to 55. The next step is to have mending, healing breeze etc. on the skillbar. But the spell which makes the build work: Protective Spirit! While you have it on you, you cannot lose more than 10% health from a single attack or spell. So you lose max 5 HP. However, you can't die because this amount of health will be regenerated by mending+healing breeze all the time.
I hope that wasn't too long-winded and that it was somewhat comprehensible.

Or you can use a Me/Mo E/Mo or N/Mo to still farm with 55hp, and Me/Mo is very inexpensive (or was at least).
Turbo Wombat
Yep... they're still cheap as hell. 5 sup fastcasting runes = 500 gold.
Opeth11
But wouldn't you want something other than just fast casting? hehe
What would you do damage with?
Your fast casting...dresses..?

Yeah I have a N/MO that I farm with.
I originally had made a N/ME but rerolled to farm.
I now run N/MO.
It helps with energy too even without doing anything...
You use the same spells as mentioned, then you just run into, say the cave full'a mountain trolls outside the forge, or the infamous minotaurs...
Wherever you'd like.
It's simple really.

You use the runes merely to get your health down to 105
You can use whatever rune you want.
I use all curse runes on my necro just cause they were the cheapest at the time...
For damage, you can do a few things, since you arent ACTUALLY attacking, either use SS if you've got a necro build, thats spiteful spirit.
Or use Retribution...
Theres a few monk spells that kill the target attacking slowly thats attacking you...
So you tank 10-12 guys, and they all slowly kill themselves.
Your sole purpose is to survive.
Opeth11
Yes. I understand the concept of the non stacking runes. I was merely playing with the idea of using 5 Fast Casting Runes as opposed to the fact that average 55/105 character puts use to all four attribute sets and doubles up on one of their choice.
Whitefeather
You really don't need to use your secondary class, pretty much at all, unless for the sake of energy management...
But even still, you should be okay if you use balthazars...
As for using four dif attributes...
You've been talking to all dif. 55 hp monks than I have, lol.

Yeah, apart from 55 monk it's the best solo FARMER. Get a good axe & cyclone axe your way to fortune. Dont confuse solo PLAYING with solo FARMING, though, two different things.
Chopping down 5 million trolls and 3 million griffin is boring as hell, though, so you better be sure you really really want that stuff for your main char (why don't you farm with that, btw? Any build can farm something, somewhere.).

Best farming char = warrior
2nd place = I'd say necro, AotL/DA is pretty awesome
3rd = Monk and mes are fairly close
Tictac
For UW you need a 55 and a necro.

Man you don't have to solo every little bit of the whole Guild Wars map to get good drops. Go to an area GRAB HENCHIES, a high level area and just do relentless killing runs.

does haveing henchmen affect drops, or do you really have to be "solo", as in no AI in group
sorry to hijack been wondering
Wicked Shadow
Having henchies affects drops just as much as having people in the party. They take their share, it just doesn't appear to drop. Soloing is the only way to ensure you get every possible drop.
Arknow
good to know for sure, TYVM
Nerubz
So my conclusion is: cheapest & ONE of the most effective = Me/Mo (or Mo/Me? correct me).
In fact, a 55 monk + every other proffesion is good at solo eh? *confused*

I think this should all be irrelevant to you at this point. Right now, you should just make the character that seems like it will be the most fun, and go play. You'll easily make enough money to have good armor and weapons thoughout the game, as long as you don't spend it frivolously.
By the time you've gotten to a point where you could benefit from making serious money, you'll be immersed in the game enough that you'll be able to answer your own question, because you'll understand the enemies, and the skills you'll have available.
This game is soooo not about saving money before you can play. Quite the opposite. Save the farming for later, trust me.

IMO cheapest char for soloing either paladin or w/me

Whitefeather
In what ways are people using W/me to Solo?
Other than just Energy management/interrupts?
Black out warriors? etc?
Whats the basis on that one.

w/me can be soloed by using armour buffs e.g. phys resistance
