Best class to solo outdated content?

[Question]

See title. I want to grind all the (older) primal mounts without having to interact with other players - which class can do this the earliest?

Tanks and healers are the ideal choice for soloing older primal content for their self-sustain abilities. Personally, I found Warrior and Paladin to be the easiest to solo older trials and dungeons.

I agree with WAR.

Back in SB I solo'd the ARR EX's and dungeons for WT with DRK and didn't have any issues other than it taking a little longer than doing it on WAR. I don't play PLD so I can't comment on that,

In order of efficiency:

RDM > any healer > any tank

Any tank should be able to brute force their way through the mechanics while also working towards that tank mount.

I know that Warriors used to be able to use the fact that they hit 5 digit HP early on to ignore certain instant death mechanics that use to deal 9999 damage. I'm not sure if it still works though.

It doesn't, most instant deaths were upgraded to 999999, and you can't cheese mechanics.
