As the proud owner of an Iksar Warrior I have to agree with this. I tried a monk afterwards and I was like a teenage girl "omg so much easier!". If you have gotten used to FD/mend/sneak saving your ass and allowing you to split stuff at will you will cry with a warrior. Where warriors come into their own is L60 when they finally get great aggro weapons and discs and are far and away the best MT option. Sakuragi (even with his iksarness) has been The A-Team's main (and pretty much only) tank since our inception and has allowed us to do way more than we would have if I had gone monk.
I also agree with the Bard recommendation. At low levels with a fungi tunic you can just sing chant of battle with a lute and kill like 7 orcs at once in crushbone

At 48 I can still do BNB with some patience and charming but the fungi is finally starting to run out a bit and the low HP of the bard is showing. I feel like bards are actually much more fragile than enchanters - no rune and no stun/ae mez really sucks when you fuck up. But certainly 1-50 Bards are one of the few melee classes that exceed Monk in utility.
