Favorite class to solo

I am curious to hear what's everyones favorite class to solo and explore in pve. I have had a little luck with a 2H/light armor sorcerer as long as I never rely on my clanfear to actually hold aggro.

    Easily an assassination focused Nightblade. Teleport Attack makes getting a sneak attack off so much easier and it's bloody satisfying to boot.

    Dragonknight tank. I block around 80% of the dmg with maxed armor on melee attacks which i think is around 10% of the max dmg. Combined this with aoe dmg and a self heal i have had no issues whatsoever.

    I'll have to say so far, it's my Assassination-focused Dual Wield Nightblade, since it feels so satisfying using those class skills, and also because he is a handsome Khajiit with a glorious mane.

    My Ardent Flame-focused Dragonknight is also a blast to play. As is my Dark Magic-focused Sorcerer. Heck, everything I've tried during the Early Access was a blast. I look forward to my physical Imperial Edition copy showing up so I can try some more styles.

    Digging my dps Templar 2H with medium armor. I start with a ranged dot, throw a javelin, and then 2h crit charge into the fray

    Night Blade with lots of sneak attacks.

    Dragon Night mage (though i am finding it boring and OP, charged into a mob, hit wall of elements, burning talons, fire breath....rinse ad repeat......).
    mDKs still need a lot of love!

    I played solo NB up to lvl8 during beta. It was okay, but felt same since I played rogues in every MMO I touched. Sneak, burst damage until mob is dead, repeat.

    So in live I'm playing a Sorc (bow/destro), and it's fantastic to solo.
    Can play as heavily armored (bound armor + lighting form) - check.
    Can play as burst/sustained ranged damage dealer - check.
    Has pets for additional fun - check.

    If I had spare skill points, I would also try melee styles for solo PvE.

    My most successful and fun solo PvE build right now is my melee sorc 'Thane'.
    Start as a sorcerer only using storm calling, with heavy armor and 2-handed weapons.

    Nothing like zapping with a lightning bolt at range, critical charging to melee range, cleave, lightnining form, and uppercut. Very satisfying.

    My dual wielding 2 light 5 medium armor NB. Even though levelling from 30-40 made hell and purgatory combined feel a bit frosty.

    my main is a dark elf DK with sword & board / destruction staff, and a sorcerer in heavy armor with dual weild / destruction staff; enjoying both; browsing for other ideas though
