I like doing that stuff too. I have a low level
cleric I like to solo. I spend 20pp on a 3 hour KEI
(literally can't run out of manna), then melee and
blast stuff :) That's pretty fun and I can do a
yellow con easy in WC. I solo a mid-level chanter by
rooting, debuffing, dotting then zerging pets on even
and dark blue cons. With breeze and soon clerity
there's not tons of down time waiting on manna, and I
carry hundreds of tiny daggers to make pets. I also
use this toon for trade skill stuff for my main.
Neither char has ever grouped.
