Re: Suggestions for going solo on Alteraeon
It depends whether you want a better experience levelling up, or at the endgame.
If the former, then necro is a great choice as first class; their minions make the newbie experience pretty easy, which is now complemented by the fact that powerful low level equipment has never been more easy to obtain. Some good secondary classes include mage (for offensive power while being able to use shadow fiends as tanks) or cleric (for healing in groups and for general utility). This is the setup for my character.
I'd recommend not choosing druid if your primary motivation is to get strong minions; their niche is equipment enhancement through runes (which you can get done for you by other druids) and working well in concert through their area of effect spells in groups.
Unfortunately, casters aren't viable at high levels (solo-wise anyway) because a lot of higher level areas got relevelled, so mobs are stronger. The caster minions were never updated so they 039;re pretty much useless in a lot of high level areas (both damage dealing and tanking minions), nor have they received anything to increase their survivability. The balance has tipped towards melee classes being more powerful now (though that's another conversation).
Your best option long-term would probably be to have a caster class + thief or warrior as your first 2 classes, to get most of the benefits of both. The Melee classes have excellent offensive capability and survivability in high level areas (bonuses to shield block/dodge, armored skin, and evasion which allows dodging of certain spells).
