This 2 have the best selfheal in game after healers what make them great to playing solo but like heallers are forced to healing, tanks are forced to guard so it's again not the best choice.

I think the best class for solo is Engie thanks his healing keg and AOE RDPS. I never played this class

Many classes fare well for soloplay, but few shine especially in it.
2h SM is quite decent choice, thanks to WoDS
other tanks can also do fine, especially, as all of them have quite nice skills at hand.
Obviously shaman and AM are the kings of 1v1 duelling, which about why no one wants to fight them 1v1, so most of time any sane person just flees the opposing direction.
WE/WH are quite decent, very high risk, but occasionally you get good rewards when you get those successful ganks. Average healers can be soloed, but any good healer will laugh you off in 1v1. Extremely suicidal choice, prepare to die a lot.
Lately I've seen WLs dominate killspam in oRvR lakes, whether in party or alone. Thanks to pet, the "army of two" is very good choice for soloplay, as often enough you can just send your pet to kill the target for you. Gets the benefit of incredible mobility from Pounce, and strong armor debuff whilst having medium armour and incredible burst damage on less armoured enemy targets, and even if someone knocks you down, your loyal pet will still start tearing them to shreds.
Squig has similar benefit of being able to kite like a shaman, but also sending a nasty pet to harass enemies until they either give up or die.
SW, and to some extent magus and engi are also decent choices for soloroaming, but obviously less mobile than some other lone hunters.
Marauders can also solo roam nicely, provided you master stance swapping, just like SWs. Whatever the target may be, a mara has a debuff that just fits the occasion.
DoK/WP, somewhat challenging choice for roaming, as any sane person probably tries to avoid dueling you, or simply just shoots you down from distance.
Choppa/slayer, very hard choice, occasionally functions, mostly just suicidal.
Zealot/Runie ??? where's Moryx there days

WE/WH as MDPS followed by Mara/WL. WE and WH can avoid zergs, premade WBs and parties just by stealth. They have all tools they need to win against any class in 1v1 ganks. Mara lots of tools take out more opponents even with healer, WL great mobility and best frontload burst+perma snare from pet.

AM/Shamman if well played are the easiest way, but good opponents can take You down easily if you ignore some defensive stats/renowns or you dont detaunt in time.

From tank perspective definitely BG/IB.

One would say WPs and Doks. I think they shine in duo play, but on solo, they are mostly eaten by ranged classes especialy SHs/SWs.

?? How does that have any bearing on the class in terms of solo/1v1 viability? I completely fail to see what you're getting at.

What people THINK you should be doing with your class/how you SHOULD play in THEIR eyes is not the same as solo viability, lol.

pick WE, the master race.

4 possible builds instead of 2 WH offers.
-Sexy look.
dark elfs in bikine...what else can u ask ?

Mara/WL are much stronger yet they dont have stealth..like vodva said u can avoid any fight and pick what you want.

just go WP dps or DoK dps , it "FEELS" like playing a paladin in WoW

What else can I ask?
A mount not the size of a truck.
A male druchii assassin choice (some male npcs have the WE animation, and it doesn't seems awkward.)

Dps dok = male WE! And they're effeminate enough as it is xD

And what about female wp?

Female WP is just a male SM with a hammer
