Then there’s the SW’s arrow that ignores everything, travels through time and space, and teleports you to the warcamp. Add fingers to Slayers/KT so they at least have some basic tools to defend themselves, etc. In short, plenty of small tweaks to ensure this game, which isn’t supposed to be designed for solo play, stops creating classes specifically for solo play.

No class is designed for solo play, with the possible exception of WH/WE, nor should they be. That's coming from someone who spends most of my playtime solo-roaming.

Classes that are good at solo are good at it because their toolkit happens to have a lot of things that are beneficial to solo-roaming, not because they've been designed that way. Trying to balance all classes for solo, as well as party and warband play, would be next to impossible and make all of the builds suffer.

Should dps AM be nerfed because it's S-Tier in solo? Of course not. Nerfing a class that already isn't that great in a group to try and balance solo would be completely against what WAR is about.
