I have a level 60 monk and bard. I solo'ed completely 1-60 on bard and monk. Neither are all star geared but they both have decent HP, Resists, NTOV items, and their epics.

For solo'ing both are pretty easy to 60 compared to the path some other classes would have to take.

Each one has amazing tools. Bard is more of a support class and reliant on others to do next level shit. Monk is more reliant on gear to do next level shit.

Figure out what matters most to you in game. Is it grouping in Seb which a lot of the people are talking about in this thread; or is it raiding, solo content, finishing quests with your buddies? Then choose the class that will allow you to have the play style you like most.
