I know it’s really just a matter of personal preference but for myself I’ve found that using assassin as the primary soul is by far the best way to go for soloing. The stealth ability is an indispensable tool in the sense that it allows you to very easily move through heavily guarded areas and isolate single enemies without the risk of agroing large groups… and bypassing others all together. Which makes taking on quests and enemies of a higher level, a very viable option.. And one that just isn’t possible with other classes or builds. For the same reason, it also makes gathering, mining, and/or artifact hunting a much easier task since in most cases (if you desire) you can get in and out without ever having to unsheathe your weapon.
Personally the build I have the most success soloing with is assassin, riftstalker, and saboteur…and that also works very well in pvp, groups, and even instances. Although, I often switch to a bard heavy role when I’m in groups that are lacking in support roles. In that case I use a bard, saboteur, marksman combo.

I should have said 15% bonus to all finishing moves, which would include Deadeye Shot.

Thought: I have not specced out of the bard/ranger/marksman yet, but ranger seems less useful later on once you kind of out grow the basic pet. Nightblade? seems a great replacement for PvP and PvE simply because 10 points gets you 15% damage buff to combo point generating attacks, which is 15% more healing with cadence and 15% damage buff to Deadeye.

tried the leveling build, not so effective for me; with no points going into ranger (pet can not hold aggro). the mob quickly aggros on me, 0 range, and marksman has only 1 cd for point blank attacks. Might be able to kite it around if there is space. am i doing something wrong?

cool, I’m low level specializing in Ranger, with Marksman, and Assassin right now. I will probably try Bard with it though instead of Assassin. I do a ton of damage though… I would like the ability to heal myself a bit over doing more damage though, I think.

You left out a metric TON of great information about assassin soloing. I’ve done the ranged/marksman, and it’s pretty nice, but nothing compared to how awesomely fun the assassin is, not to mention how useful!
