As the title states, I am asking which class has the best soloability. I am a former WoW player and I like exploring and questing on my own, although I want to be viable to groups as well. The main reason, however, is that I am in the military currently stationed in Japan and tend to play in the off hours of the night where most people back in the states are asleep. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I played a paladin for some time in WoW and after reading on here the captain seems to reflect the paladin the most. Is this true? I don't want to be sitting in combat slowly grinding down on the opponents life as a paladin did in WoW. Please let me know your opinions! Thanks in advance!

Class with best soloability?Follow
Absolutely not. It sounds funky, but the closest thing to a WoW or EverQuest paladin in LOTRO would be the minstrel. They don't have the heavy armour, but they have shield use, they can parry, block, and evade attacks, and self-heal.
All in all, every class is soloable to an extent. To copypasta from the other new player thread:

I know it's kinda hard to believe, but everything can solo from 1-50 with relative ease. Certain classes do better at soloing various difficulty mobs, though. Basically, the progression is this:
Swarm < Normal < Signature < Elite < Elite Master < Nemesis < Arch-Nemesis
Elites, for the most part, can be done by just about anyone. Not readily, though, except for a few classes. I can take only one on both my hunter and captain, often burning cooldowns if they're rather tough. Minstrels, Guardians, Champions, and Lore-masters tend to be very good at taking down Elites and Elite Masters.
There aren't really any long-term camps. The most bottleneck deal you'll come into contact with is, if you roll a Captain, Hunter, or Minstrel, the need to get Helchgam's Slime from a boss in Carn Dum. Everyone likes them, because they're in demand for three rather nice legendary traits, and they tend to be hideously overpriced on the auction hall.
Aside from that, grinding deeds at a higher level can be somewhat annoying, but nowhere near as time consuming as EverQuest or FFXI are. You can take a character from 1-50, with decent gear, decent trait levels, in probably a month, month and a half casual gaming.
