This build has held me up in a battle with me lvl 10 against 6+ lvl 5-10 gargoyles, and whenever my group dies, I am the last one, fighting them all (and usually winning). Not sure if its just my mad skills keeping me alive or the set up, but it seems to work really well, and in PvP he works great for ninjaing monks and such.
Feel free to add your soloing build, or any suggestions to make mine better (I only got him to lvl 10, and the listed skills are pretty much all I could find for him)
Best for soloing!

Minions for support on alone missions.
It works good I mapped a huge chunk of the world, but like i said in another fourm I don't think I scratched the surface.

I have my pet cat hold the monsters off while I turn them into a pincusion with my Bow. When I get hurt to bad I use my monk skills to heal or regen.

R/E with Barrage + Conjure = Amazing AoE damage. Also, if I could find a bow with +1 energy per hit -1 energy regen, I would never run out of energy. By the way, my exp was at 12.

I do alright with my Elemezmer (E/Me). I cast Aura of Resteration and then use Firestorm and Chaos Storm then rush up close and do Inferno and Lava font. If they arent dead by then, I use energy tap and my Flares usually finish them off.
I like to nuke.

I can solo well with my Warrior/Necro, trick is to keep the mobs lower than 3. Warrior's Endurance + life stealing = good times ^^.

I had a lot of fun with a Monk/Mesmer. It was challenging... Monks are not really meant for fighting. My continued playing depended on keeping the others alive: this was about as hard as fighting the monsters directly. ^_^ Once I left the training area I was really struggling, until I figured out how to hire henchmen, but the challenge made me want to try that much harder.

Ranger / Monk with a Pet does really good.
But I believe W/mo do pretty darn well. That is waht I use for soloing.

Actually I had a fair bit of luck with a W/Mes, ocasionally I had to take along a Healer NPC, when I could't cover myself fast enough with Ether Fest or my Healing signet (Double damage can really hurt some times) but I made it almost all the way to Lion's Arch that way

For the most part I can run areas fine, but if it ever gets to a point where all of the sudden a bunch of assorted Carrion popped out and then Flash Gargoyles were hitting me, T.Ung could only do so much, and without having a Monk heal skill on me I had to resort to running a bit before I got reengage them. It's not bad though, Warrior/Monks are probably the easiest to do it with.

I've found an E/whatever works best for me. I just love the PBAoE nukes. I want to be swarmed -- it's when I'm most effective.

The best character I've found for soloing is an Elmo(E/mo) using PBAoE. Use monk skills to keep yourself alive easily, while blasting everything to bits with Flame Burst, Inferno, etc. Throw in some Earth Magic for Armor of Earth and possibly Crystal wave. I've found using Ether Renewal with a couple enchantments(Armor of Earth, Healing Breeze, maybe Aura of Restoration if you want to give up the slot for the extra energy via ether renewal) is an excellent way of keeping your energy high to keep laying out your spells
KainShadow
Actually for Soloing I use a E/W, close range nuker

r/m died many times... fun good for pvp
walder
I posted a sweet AoE Elementalist that would probably do nicely in PvE, but then again, everything does nicely in PvE.
