When you combine the best slows with best regen and decent dps you get the most viable melee at a face to face level.

I imagine when you break it down to real soloing you’re down to fear kiting classes like SK/Ranger or something with all sorts of other tools like Bard. Based on some work I did with a bard at level 30 recently, they were getting wrecked by blue mobs face to face. I suspect it’s not that great. On the other hand I remember soloing high keep guards at that level face tanking.

Get a fungi, haste item, pet, regen, slow, poison winds censer/gfg and smack things up face to face. I still do it at 60. I did it before torpor to earn money for torpor too. I remember face tanking NG mobs.
Shaman is not a melee class. OP was looking for hack and slash, not hack and miss. We’re not denying shamans superior survivabilty in melee range.
