In my experience, d/d ele, medi guard, and blood necro seem to be the best for soloing tough mobs like hero point champs. What do you guys think?

Anything with good sustain/damage at the same time works here. You can pretty much get any class to do this through different builds.
But yes from what I have experienced d/d ele, medi guard, blood necro, basically any warrior, and even now Revenant herald can be great.

i have almost all professions at lvl 80 (trough exploring and fighting instead of toks)
and i have to say, necro-guardian-ele, ranger and even revenant in that order

NOTE: the order i made is based on a fun factor and the nice feel i get form killing mobs around me, in events, and hero challenges as well. Usually i use the “pull mobs around you, aoe burst them, repeat” method

Necro: staff, d/wh minion master with vampiric traits. it allows my necro to kill single mobs 1 by 1 extremely fast…like i was spaming hundred blades all the time.
I can also pull lots of mobs from far away with staff 1 and nuke them all with staff 2-3-4-5, then warhorn 5 and seeing so many dmg numbers and healing numbers just gives me a super satisfying feeling i cant get from any other class.
The mark of blood on dodge trait with its staff counterpart makes my self and my minions very resistant, combined with vampiric and vampiric presence it gives you 3 sources of life steal..also deathsrhoud.

Guardian:a very simple rotation with my staff/gs that allows me to pull mobs around, line of ward them and leave a symbol of swiftness that deals dmg on one side and heals me on the other side while im empowering my self, then i switch to gs, leap, symbol, retaliation, whirl and finish off mobs with auto attack.

Lots of boons, lots of dmg, mobs fall fast, heavy armor, has nice passive regen..but the combo ends up being kinda boring if youre using it form lvl 1 to the point you finished 2 personal stories and a season of living story…

Elementalist: similar to the guardian, i use staff and abuse long range and large aoes to burst stuff down…sometimes i get downed as well.

Ranger: pull mobs, switch to axe/torch and burst stuff in a massive aoe with fields. add traps for more dmg.

Short bow / Axe+Torch ranger with devourer pets. Let devourer draw agro first, then flank with short bow. Go pour yourself some coffee and come back when everything is dead. Devourer is basically unkillable in PvE.

As has been said though, pretty much any class can do this if you tinker with the build and gear enough.

I have a sword, a dagger, and an estimated life span of 2.47 seconds.
