Best Solo Destro class

[Lion1986]

marauder and magus are pretty good on high level gear as soloes thanks to self sustaining.
2handed tanks are nice aswell. pretty fun too.
WE is born as a solo player class. Glass cannon that can melt any class.
to avoid: sorceress and choppa. these 2 classes kills themselves just by existing. totally not recomended as solo.

1. IB using Avalanche tactic can keep up with sham.
2. IB can keep the sham permasnared (assuming he makes sure to cover the snare), so no kiting. After which it becomes a question of who spots them first- if even one more order spots them, snared sham dies. While from other hand, snb IB is quite able of getting away with dps sham + 1 more destro on him unless that one happens to be a bis dps- solo specced IBs can get very tanky.

So the example of the best counter to roam shaman is an ironbreaker who, admittedly cannot kill the shaman, yet may just be able to keep him snared long enough for 1 or more likely 2 other players to finish him off.

That's a devastating hardcounter.

The question was specifically how the IB can counter the sham, not which classes can counter the sham. Not to mention, IB is quite capable of solo killing a glass cannon sham- the problem will be vs a hybrid sham which remembers his detaunt. However even in this case- sham can't kill the IB, while the IB is perfectly capable of permasnaring the sham till 1 more order shows up (which is all that it will take, no need for 2 more)- yep pretty much a hard counter.

Going back to what the thread was about, best solo class for destro. While I do think the player makes the class, here's what I think about destro solo classes. I think best one should be a no brainer (at least atm) regen we. Has enough dmg to kill almost anything and very good defenses. You can choose your fights and if it seems you're not going to win, most likely you can just leave the fight even against multiple enemies. After that I'd say we (non regen), shaman/squig herder and pretty much every regen spec you can think off. Not going too deep into which class is better with regen like magus or mara etc. And on par I'd say regen tanks. I guess you can see from this that regen is really strong in the "solo" meta atm. Regen specs or snb tanks however have a issue of people not wanting to fight you which to me personally makes them not fun to play.
So I guess in short (atleast to me) the best solo class on destro is regen we, then we, shaman and squig herder, after that regen tanks or regen specs in general.

a regen SH that knows his job is a serious threat in roaming area. I agree on that.
