Lol.
No.
Your other points are very valid but that bit is insanely wrong. Monk mitigation is better than, comparable to, or second only to warriors depending on gear.

And you prove how little you know, mitigation wise if a ranger procs slow sword they are absolutely better at mitigating damage than monks + self regen and some buffs . On a pure solo basis monk has no self buffs at all (unless you count staff of sheilding proc?) Yet it does not matter in the slightest in terms of the original question. The full question was pertaining to each classes toolkit for solo strength. In which Ranger wins over monk hands down. A monk has no way of completely avoiding melee damage, self slowing the mob (without using clicks) while their base mitigation / avoidance AC may be slightly higher than a ranger, after you count regen, self buffs, and slow proc ranger takes a huge lead *mostly with the proc* mitigation is not soley how much AC and avoidance you have you have to take into account abilities and healing that dramatically increase your effective hp, and slow is an enourmas contribution to that
If you are considering total mitigation to be just standing there, no buffs, no slow at all then a monk > ranger. Also in group situations with other classes buffs Monk > Ranger. But this discussion is about solo power which narrows it down to each classes specific toolkit assuming no outside help.
