Do any prophets solo? and find is it succesfull?  Or should a prophet that wants to solo, just be a mage?

 

thanks

Prophets solo using mage spells, but not (many) mage talents.   Since both mages and prophets concentrate their attribute allocation in sorcery, and wear light armor with sorcery stats, prophets operate like a somewhat under-powered mage.   The biggest loss, IMO, is the lack of the extra passive talents for frostbite.

 

The best leveling play for a prophet, IMO, is to pair up with a Templar and level together.   You will end up switching back and forth between doing more DPS than the Templar and then healing the same.  And you have a ready-made group for the leveling instances, just add some DPS players.

 

Of course, many will choose to level as a mage and respec at max level, since you won't need to change much of your gear, if any.  But the transition may be a bit rough, since you haven't been practicing your healing skills all along.  YMMV

Im a 20 prophet with all points into sorc, soloing is very easy while questing and killing mobs my lvl are easy aswell.  I have infinite mana and my heals are potent, I dont do as much damage as a pure mage but the healing power i have makes up for the small damage gap.  

As I gain more lvls and the mobs have higher health pools I'd imagine the gap will be more pronounced but Im in absolutely no danger when soloing, even if i pull more than i should have.

The trade off seams fair at this point.

After prophets get a talent called purification and you can go hybrid with mage with 3 pts in mental agility - they get more dps than the normal mage .

You don't need to go hybrid to be effective solo. Even though you kill slower, keep in mind that you have no downtime between mobs, because of your recovery skills and energy regeneration. I think that is far more helpful than a couple of extra attack skills.

then you havent seen a real mage for sure :P ...

 

prophet can never get more dps than a mage ... but as comrade stated, prophet is killing slower, but also got less downtime between mobs even on a high amount of mobs he doesnt run out of mana or life :P

 

i respecced from mage to prophet as i like to be the healer ... but with mage i killed much faster - and if a friend of mine wasnt online to buff me with prophet buff i ran out of mana very fast and had to use essence only hits for a few mobs to be full on mana again ... But within dungeons and so on the Damage is more than double the amount of a prophets dmg ... and also the frostbite for killing monsters in high masses is very bad with prophet ... mage stunning them 7 seconds - prophet only 3 ... + the blizzard stun ability which allows the mage to take down 30 monster within 1 frostbite at same level ... which i mostly did for leveling - now i need to run and use 2 frostbites over the long cooldown it has
