In my opinion, the best offline solo class is actually RAmarl.
To me, a cast is out of the question for single player, since they cannot use resta. In my experience, the most difficult parts of the game are fighting those hard boss battles, and often times the problem was that I would run out of mono/di/tri-mates during a boss. The ability to cast resta is vital to your long-term survival. In multi-player mode, sure, HUcast it up and let your FOrce heal you, but to me, I prefer being able to heal over ten times as many times before running out of difluids compared to healing with mates.
Also, FOrce, HUnter, or RAnger? I would say FOrce is the hardest for single-player, because on the same vein, you run out of magic too quickly. Since you're the only one doing all the damage, and it basically costs MP to do any damage, you're going to run out. Don't want to run out during a boss fight. To their credit, they pack a lot of power with their spells, but still. They also tend to take a lot of damage, so it's harder to survive those mega-hits bosses smack you with. I do play a FOrce as an alt though, and it is fun.
So HUnter or RAnger? It's kind of preference, but I'd say you need to take 3 things into consideration. 1) Pure DPS on a single enemy, 2) Hitting multiple enemies, 3) Avoiding damage. HUnters are better on the damage front, although my Red Mechgun works great for that. Hitting multiple enemies, you can use a slicer or broadsword, but I think a spread/shot works better. And to me, RAngers have HUnters beat on avoiding damage because they attack from a range, not in the enemies face while they are constantly attacking you.
So, a RAnger that can cast resta. That leaves RAmar and RAmarl. And basically the female option is better because she gets a good shifta and deband. This is great and it makes her stronger in single-player than RAmar.
Even if she is not naturally as strong as RAmar and RAcast, that is what a POW-178 mag is for :) although now I only use POW-146 so I can have 49 DEX, helps with chaining 3 strong attacks.
So that is my reasoning. I would be open to hearing dissenting opinions.
PS. I guess HUnewearl would be a runner-up since she has resta and a great shifta/deband as Adam's friend pointed out, but I really don't like playing a HUnter single-player; you get hit too often.
