Caster Solo play - New Potions

Hello, I thought I would bring some attention to this experience as i don't see many solo casters roaming to share a thought.

I'm having huge difficulty which is to be expected out there solo and even in the right situation where i find a fight its usually with a tanky class.

2500 HP
180 Heal Charge
200 (legion charge) not 100% sure on this amount too
60% Hp regen (over 30sec - 5s tic)
Ignore Pain (In a few cases)

Im not sure on exact amounts but i recon thats atleast 10-14 nukes to kill a tank.

Does this rough estimate seem to be working as intended / normal?

Sadly for those who have solo caster dreams this is largely as intended.

Hopefully the 60% heal goes away, and you only have to deal with the other methods of healing.

I wouldn't expect to have great success soloing on casters that aren't BD/SM or don't have disease.

Mental..
Tried SM (useless vs 1.5 swing speed)
BD Could work.

Main Options:
Stealther
Mins
Skald
Dock / Bridge Camping Tank Class

Shits boring.

Thanks for the reply mate

Yeah man, with the massive glut of assassins out there, soloing on a caster seems pretty dismal.

Assasins are all over but if thats what people want to play then unlucky for the casters

Problem is actually finishing off a Tanky Classes HP.. Its really looong time and you can't fuck up at all / get any resists lol

Solo caster is a difficult game here. I told myself to chill on trying to make my sorc viable 1v1 without a billion RA points to spend and went over to the minstrel dark side. Much happier. It is what it is, as they say.

Swing speed only makes SM useless for soloing if your strategy is to rely 100% on your pet intercepting.

A lot of caster classes are soloable, but it takes a lot of alertness and a certain kind of patience.

For what it's worth, the most effective casters against those tanky every-self-heal-up enemies are the ones with access to snare nukes.
