Trying to find something effective against most of the things I come across when Solo.
Keep in mind this is starting from scratch.

Champ or Vamp?

The way I see it..
Vamp : Charge / Resists / Fumble / Banelord
Champ: Ranged interrupts / Debuffs / Banelord.

Both could be effective.. What I'm noticing playing a vamp though is that I'm pretty much fodder against archers...
Unless I'm doing something wrong.. =/

What is archery damaged classed as, melee or magic? As I'm running towards a scout/hunter I generally put up both to help out..

This.

I tried to do it on my Merc, but it was too irritating.

However, broken NS's didn't help.

I did a friar the other day...
Done a couple of 1v1's to try it (Aka, Lolab duels)..
But all I seemed to fight was either crap with fumbles so I never got the heal styles off or some kind of random dueling cheese mode.

And well I have a skald that I'm not too good on and I'm not too keen on playing my shade at the moment. I just prefer visibles really. Even though soloing on them suck!

Well when it comes to classes without speed, your biggest powerhouse Xv1/1v1 solo char is probably going to be reaver. Only issue there is that you really do need RR5+ (preferably RR8+) to be most effective since they have so many RAs to buy (purge, charge, twf, IP, block/parry, mof, mom, etc). You'll still get steamrolled by groups but with bomb and all the lifetapping goodness, you will often beat the baddy smallman/stealthgroups and kiting chars that your arms or champ/vamp would flop against.

Champ might be your best bet for pure 1v1/dueling, but I doubt that's what you are going to do.

Reaver is easy man. Maybe a few more keybinds than an armsman or vamp, but definitely easy.

Vamps no bc of how many sneak gross there are and for some reason there is not one 8 man that will let a vamp solo they see tha bastard floating and get bloodlust and still that niggs cookies!!!! Champ I can see how it'd be but would require greater speed of the hunt pots aka a pita!!! Roll a ns and call it quits

Don't be too quick to judge a class until your rr8+ for soloing

A new low rr vamp will actually be super painful to play.

If you want easy mode at low rr and solo. Skald is where it's at

Cruut isn't much for kiting. Low RR skalds get ripped if they try to sit around and go all hypnotoad. Have run into a lot of these in NF lately...

And yeah... low RR vamp isn't so good. Even at high RR some class/ML combos will rip you by default unless RNG favors you.

I still think if you get a reaver to RR4+ in CV then graduate to NF you'll probably enjoy that the most considering your armsman-esque playstyle.
