Every other mmo class manages to solo without the aid of cross class skills. (it all comes down to balance) Granted thats not SE's strong suit.
For me it's more that a class will effectively be able to adapt to whatever situation is needed in a small party if they have enough options. Obviously for solo play you wouldn't need too much more than whatever would help you outlast the target, either through damage mitigation or healing.
