best solo class

[boona]

in your opinion, are any classes especially well-suited for solo runs?

[Five Smeckles]

dancer is always a great option

assassin, a single primary upgrade can make you be in vanish more often then not, which is just immunity to most mechanics, everything else goes well and you have an easy win.

Heavyblade for Survivability
Assasin for general DPS and very high Mobility
Dancer for those who are Lucky and very good item synergy
I have not tried out the unlockable classes yet, but Sniper and Brawler may be very good contenders as well.

ancient's defensive has a cooldown of 10s while most other classes are 15.

aside from that the best class is the one you are the best at playing. play better do more dps. play good no hit enrage timers.

I love the idea that someone asks which single class is best for solo, and all the comments say a different class lol

[FlatChestEnthusiast]

honestly can't tell you until I've unlocked all the loot since I feel the 'best' class is whichever can make the best use of suboptimal gear
for example, spellblade goes crazy with any of the bleed, sap, on-hit chance, on use chance (especially if you get the gcd primary upgrade gem), flat bonus hit damage etc. effects. Oh, and 'deal damage x times' as well.

Spellblade is also capable of hitting upwards of 30k damage in a single hit as well, with another specific build(with a little luck).

Not the Wizard that's for sure.

Probably Assassin because you can just ignore the mechanics with vanish.

Bruiser is also pretty good in solo because its defensive has a shorter cooldown and can stock 2 charges.

great answers - thank you very much everyone!!

I've found that the classes with very strong specials/special upgrades can quickly get to the point where they're deleting normal encounters and attack skipping area bosses if you get lucky with items. Ancient and Defender were fairly easy to 'break' for me.

i'd say Druid actually, because you easily keep up 100% uptime without worrying about positionals for doing damage. Allows you to do optimal boss DPS while doing all the mechanics. The spells scale well with items.

everybody is making some really good points - thank you!!
I love heavyblade very much and also thoroughly enjoying dancer

Done both solo hard & solo hit less normal as Druid so far,
at first I actually preferred assassin & heavyblade but druid is just way easier.
Can focus less on dmg rotations and more on mechanics, really easy/big dmg if you just focus on the special/butterflies
(sometimes it even possible/optimal to just spam special and ignore primary/secondary and still do more than enough dmg to avoid enrage),
Secondary can be nice for mouse/aoe with the right upgrades as druid cleave is pretty bad normally.
tl;dr Druid has big lazy dmg / bad aoe without items/gem upgrades
