With OF RAs it seems that the hib baseline stun just becomes way more powerful. (way less purges and no Charge from light tanks)

what class is recommended for solo play as a caster? ench/eld or mentalist

For solo light-ench.. Speed! Haste debuff, Heat debuff and pet with perma snareDD

ofc all of them have there strength.

remember Stun is only OPed with targets with out Det ^^ Det tanks a caster stun will only last 2ish secs.

Enchanter as stated above ^^
Chanters will do wonders on tanks solo and that speed is helpful getting to a = b. but don't count it on saving your life lol.

Light Eldy ( CC mezz and stun ) red NS. having that back up area Mezz is pretty nice for more then one target.
that NS will realy help you own in the caster world, but its a bit harder VS other tanks, nice thing if specd right you can still get a DD snare ^^

Ment can also have a mezz but its a single target ( can demezz ) , Pets! just about anything you can find.
Ments ments ments ^^ i think the hardest of the 4 for solo play, but with "Different utility" can do wonders if you can get to the pets that help/works.

Animists O.o thats the only hib class i haven't played yet lol I just know if you can get a jump on people with your pets is a very nasty trick, and having a LT as a weapon can be a nice back up :+)

so it all depends on what you want to kill and how you wana do it ^^

this is what I was leaning towards. I feel like speed is a must for soloing and a snaring pet will probably allow a light ench to kill Determination tanks as long as you are kiting properly.

Don't even think of making a solo caster. Very bad 1v1 class. You loose vs every assassin and there are many out there and no don't try to argue. They will just run through you when you desperately try to quick cast stun and 2shot you.

then you can kill an assasin if you are lucky every 30min. doesnt sound appealing to me. just dont do a caster if you want to do 1v1.
my advice in general is not to do 1v1 in daoc since it doesnt make a lot of sense to be honest

are you saying assassins are super powerful at 1.65?

only the animist / VW have lifetap for hib, and there % of life return rate is the lowest ^^ and a good assassin class will disease ya making it that much harder for you to out last him.
