Best class for HoT solo
I have found Reaper/Necro to be fun. I don’t have a favorite weapon/skills combo. Daredevil/Thief is too hard for me to get close to do damage and not die on a regular basis. Rangers are definitely good as a supporting cast member; their wildcard is the pet.
Whichever you like best.

This just goes to show how class design in this game has a lot to do with player preferences. The playstyles are vastly different from class to class and sometimes even within the same class! And not every playstyle is for everyone.
Case in point, daredevil is my strongest class for solo work in HoT. Kill faster, move faster, avoid most of the damage and go on offense to heal whatever damage you do take. It’s a fast, aggressive playstyle that I really enjoy and do well with in open world.
Clearly, that isn’t the case for everyone. But that’s why classes like necromancer are designed the way they are: moderate damage, but huge and largely passive survivability between siphoning life, minions, death shroud, top tier baseline health, traited access to a ton of toughness, and so on.
I play Soliders Hammer Scrapper
It can withstand a crapload of damage while being capable of a very reliable amount of cc at any time for all those Breakbars running around in the jungle. It’s not a DPS but rather an Off-Tank build, that can rotate indefinately and stay alive where others fall.
