What do you mean by solo melee, are we talking cash camps at 60 or soloing to 60?

For cash camps I can see how pal/sk could be stronger, as long as you have plenty of time to recover between respawns, but for exp from 1 to 60 monk is far far ahead from the others.

Where does the monk shine :

- you will take a lot less damage, it's not even close
- the downtime is much lower as long as you have bandages
- you kill much faster once again not even close
- the permanent "out of jail" card with feign death, you can easily crawl any dungeon and if you do it right you should almost never die


The gear required is also pretty low, as long as you have your epic at 50 (wich is miles better than other hybrid epics and a lot easier to do it's a must have), a haste item and some weight reduction bags to carry a ton of bandages you will be fine. Fungi cuts the recovery time even more but really it's the bandages doing most of the healing at least for 50 - 60.

Bonus points in my opinion monks are also more fun to play and the skill ceilling is higher than other hybrids.
I doubt there is a cash camp that knights can handle that comes close to mass killing in a place like Droga. But I would agree that if you want to have "more options, but do them slower" than a knight is better choice.
