Wait, of course were talking about a situation where the player doesnt over gear said 5 man.
How would an Evoker over gear a quest at this point anyway? C’mon. Use your brain. Classes can solo entire raids once they over gear something. Derp.
I was thinking 80 raid geared prot pally soloing heroic dungeons.
Oh are we going to be rude? That sounds like fun. I’ll try to 
How about instead of being rude trying to think outside the box with your apparently well tuned brain 
And they can solo it can they not? Derp.

Do you think certain specs / classes should be able to solo group quests that are meant for a group of five players?
Yes.

I put some time in it on beta, and the limited range probably makes it less effective than it could be. It was the most difficult leveling experience I had by far, but then you start with bad gear, and it takes time to find optimal talents. Disintegrate’s built in slow almost feels pointless with the shorter range. I’m just reiterating what someone else has said, but if you can manage mobility well (w/ Soar) and sustain through self-healing (Living Flame, Emerald Blossom… prob. Renewing Blaze etc.) … it might be okay. Perhaps the damage will be fantastic with the right gear and talents.

How and what did you level?
Did you level a template character? Without mailing yourself ZM gear from a copied character? The quest tuning on beta is stupid at the moment and will most likely get nerfed before launch.
I hope that doesnt happen.
That’s that part that feels weird given how AOE-heavy the big abilities are. In solo play, it’s all sort of wasted because you just can’t take the damage if you pull enough mobs for it to matter. Although … it does a respectable job of splashing damage onto little adds which are fairly common I’ve noticed.
It’s interesting to hear your kiting experience - I’ve not found it as mobile a class as I was expecting, but that might just be me fumbling my movement (and not targeting slows in my talents).

You aren’t alone, I’ve had this exact same discussion in beta chat and there was one other guy who felt the same lol but it absolutely will. You can start DF quests at 58 but the mobs don’t scale down so you are fighting level 60 mobs and they will destroy a fresh 60.

Thank you Zombieslayer, you answered my question perfectly! They arn’t that tanky, but can kite. So overall, a difficult class for solo play.

No, I sent myself ZM gear. Could only manage to get one trinket out of 12 or so attempts, but that’s probably not that important. I enchanted the gear w/ SL enchants.

You can talent for 2 hover and a bottom talent gives you a spell that grants a third, plus with two spells that cause a slow, wing buffet knockback that you can talent for a shorter cooldown, and being able to cast while hovering make this perhaps the most mobile spellcaster class in the game. They also have a good aoe root that can be talented to take more damage before breaking. With practice, you can totally prevent any one mob from touching you.
The problems arise from packs of mobs chasing you or tough elite types that resist your tricks.

Interesting. Warlocks can solo these group quests. So can Hunters. I imagine an Ele shaman who brings out the Elemental can solo them too.
Mages, hmm - depends on if the mob / mobs can be snared or rooted - if they can - I think they could solo it.
Which leaves Evoker the sole caster who cant?
Ehh, not really OP. Obviously numbers tuning is still in beta, but my impression of them is that they are super squishy, their defensive cooldowns are lackluster, and they don’t have the burst to take down elites before they run out of Hover uptime and CCs.
there are going to be way more evokers than what the raid comp will allow.
that’s gonna be interesting.
How high will thier top end DPS be? If its through the roof - theres more latitude for Evoker packing hehe.
