Monk is the best overall solo melee class. They are a dps, tank and pulling class rolled into one. There is a reason there are a billion monks running around. Warriors will have a similar playstyle, except no real pulling abilities unless you are a halfling with sneak and you'll do less damage but have more AC/HP and no weight penalty. Rogues are the opposite of warriors, they sacrifice tanking skill/ac/hp but gain back the dps.
Rangers and Shadowknights can both fear kite. Fear kiting is "easy" exp, but time consuming and not passive at all. Chasing mobs down to melee them is a horrible existence.
Paladins can pacify pull, CC with root, and take damage well. But they have horrible dps which makes soloing take forever. It's doable but very slow.
Bards won't be a melee class when soloing.
You can solo any class to 60 here if you are dedicated enough. None of the melee solo well past 50 though, except an epic monk with a fungi.
