Best class to solo ET

So I finally finished a ET run with my friends, we died a lot and we spam a lot of stuff to get to the top. My next goal is I want to see if I can do it myself, I have no MVP cards or any insane gears, my life saving is like 1b, so I want to spam less consumable items if possible, I asked around and so far I heard:

1. Ranger with AS (hard to survive, likely need to spam stuff)
2. Gene with CC (may have issues facing certain MVPs)
3. GX with RC, MA (need expensive gears)
4. RK with DB 

I know they all can do great amount of damage and other factors such as player skill and gears matter. Let's assume I am an average player with no fancy gears, for example, I am a Rune Knight and I can afford critical gears to my builds like Red Baby Dragon Hat and Fafnir but that's probably my limit, no way I would ever get two Kiel cards. I did some research myself, it seems to me that RK with DB build is easier compared to other options because it has strong AOE attack as well as high hp pool to survive, any comment? Is there anything I missed? Thanks.

There are tons of video of people in iRO doing ET solo.

Check those videos on youtube. 

Gene is fun, could always use Homunuclus as bait/shield

1.Ranger .....  AS build? That soooooo Expensive to really making it work. Its sooo slow that you can't really solo ET without using insane gear

(hi-tier gear like Big Crossbow with FAW and High refine White Wing set) 

Also don't forget that you need to suffer from agi-up mvp that need to wait like minute until you can hit them again 

2.Gene is really good but lacking survivability. Better have homun to help you tanking mvp and range mob damage, but now you don't have to worry about element and Agi-up MVP (also this class really expensive in-terms of damage per zeny)

3.GX MA really strong but how you gonna walk into MVP and range mob, now you need knockback resistance gear + tanky gear to solo ET. Using both MA+CRS can help you pass Range floor and Reflect Floor (also you can easily one shot MVP with this build  )

4.RK DB Pretty expensive, mostly delay reduction gear are pricey. You have to worry about Holy and Dark floor that your DB will become very weak. And you can't pass Valkyrie MVP floor because she can't be hit by Fire or Water (0% dmg on Holy4)

All 4 recommend are great with insane gear, but if you only have like ti-gear or NCT gear with 1b of saving

I will prefer warlock than other class, spamming comet really making your life in ET pretty ez  (until reflect mvp like bishop  )

Gear cost also very cheap, I saw someone sold full survival set at 1-2b with +11 rod. No need healing items killing mob for sp and using Life leech for hp

I'd say crit ranger, but the gear is expensive
