Prior to about level 22, Monks will solo more easily than Shadow Knights, even with bad gear.

From 22 through the 30's I feel Shadow Knights have a somewhat easier time solo thanks to fear kiting with a lot of zones to pick from. At 40+ the places for good fear kiting become a lot more limited, and at 50+ there are only a couple places to do so effectively. Damage output is low enough that experience rates are charitably described as slow. Monk damage output scales a lot better past level 50 so they end up pulling ahead again, especially in conjunction with better equipment. That being said, neither class solo's terribly well at 50+ compared to any of the typical solo classes.

You get -no debuff- or decent snare till 40s? And unless it's really different here compared to the live velious I remember fear kiting just reminds you how little DPS you really have and wasn't what I would call dependable xp
