Skalds and Jesters both work well for soloing.
Skalds are quite fun, in the end, my solo Skald hardly even had a weapon equipped. He was a full time singer. Earth Elementals, Fire Elementals, Air Elementals, and Skeleton Warriors are very powerful when backed by Skald song. They also get a very beefy Spider Spawn seeing as how they level so quickly and can gain higher levels then a mage in a stock SoA game.
Jesters play differently. Passive is best used to describe the play style. Basically, stay invisible and sing. When monsters start hitting Badly Wounded, cast Death Spell or Cloudkill to make sure you get the experience, as confused monsters killing each other gets you no experience. Your song also helps your summons, but, in a very different way. Confused monsters are just as likely to whack one another, meaning your summons get hit less. (With luck)
