i was told by a friend a druid can solo mobs that are much higher level

is this true?

paladins (self heals + good dps)
druids (Self healss+ good dps is feral other wise dps is garbage till around 30 for balance)
or hunters(pet tanks u has amazing dps )

paladins are the best solo class because of their vareity of skills

Unless you have good gear from running dungeons along with a high level guild, (for the guild perks), and BoA gear, then most likely no. Druid tanking and Feral got nerfed.

Honestly, I suggest you make an Engineer mage if you just wanna get to 85 quickly. They conjure food, have 2-3 shields, are always OP, can make portals, can Slowfall, etc. I got my mage to 85 very quickly by grinding dungeons, Call to Arms, and using BoA gear. I probably hit like 20 levels by questing.
