Truth to say, a caster is a liability in Sol A. Firstly, most of the
mobs in Sol A are greenies. I can safely solo there except for certian
mobs, eg the EXG clockwork guardian (which is also happens to be 100%
immune to magic, which make caster another worthless member in there). A
druid is actually the most useful in there followed by a cleric/shaman.
A 39th nerco joined us there back then which I found him to be rather
useless. Sol A is one of the few places that I can say that it's good
for a melee class to solo or team with a druid/cleric.
A puller (usually rhe highest lvl tankie) that does not take account of
the mana reserve of the party's caster/healer is asking for it.
