Bard.

Even excluding aoe dot kiting, bards can pull the same charm tricks with room to move that necros and enchanters can do. There's no real down time. Melee dps is bad after your high teens, but dot damage while either face tanking or fearing is actually fairly good. Starting at level 6 the regen lines keep downtime to a minimum and they've got a big enough toolset to deal with a wide range of scenarios as well as a lot of different killing strategies.

At 60 I can load up 360+ dmg a tick in dots while slowing the mob 35% and healing myself for nearly 40 a tick. That's a little over 60 sustained dps while providing enough regen to keep downtime non-existent on trivial content. For more challenging content, charm mobs against each other and toss dots.

In the classical sense, monks are the best raw melee solo folk by a large margin. Great dps plus mend plus great avoidance plus high bind wound.
They may be listed in this subsection, but bards aren't a melee class. Plus OP said they don't wanna play bard
