Out of the classes with some melee

[Rec]

Which class would be able to kill the largest number of named monsters in dungeons solo, closest to their legitimate level ranges.

Some twinking allowed, nothing like a fungus tunic or haste item before you would legitimately acquire them.

Named monsters? Chanter I'd believe. Especially so with a pocket Cleric.

pocket =/= boxing. Pocket Cleric means you have someone who will take care of only you/follows you around/available whenever you need them. Similar yet different.

Also, Bard. Or Monk. Bards have enough tools to solo lots of silly thing, however, casters (Ghoul AM for example) are probably a bad idea. Maybe if you get lucky and can charm it to empty its mana pool first.

Monk because monks go from OP in Kunark to Silly OP in Velious.

Not sure why you're stuck on melee though.

mez stun fear or face tank with resists?

6500 hp. That's not a lot. Kunark named certainly have more hp, but even that doesn't make it impossible, just less margin for error.

Named casters definitely aren't impossible for Bards, they're just harder for Bards than for Any caster class. Bard as a melee class though, totally doable. Mez interrupt or Charm it/a neighbor and let 'em waste mana would be how I'd do it. Not entirely sure I'd want to fear kite in LGuk let alone a Kunark dungeon, just depends on the spot.

You could mez/mana drain if you wanted to go that route, although its not too hard to get to a point where you resist most spells anyway, so its usually better to let it cast.

Yep, fearing in a dungeon is a case by case thing. HS is perfect for it example. Lguk is a little more tricky, but the AM room is reasonable if your keep him in the square area. 3 ticks isn't that long, so its easy to control where the mob goes, and if its going to far just mez push it where it needs to be, mez and let it walk back to you, whatever.

Chanter would be a caster, not a "class with some melee"

I meant like warrior, shadowknight, paladin, bard, monk, rogue. I didn't want to say class with only melee because that made the list even smaller.

Bard would probably be the best then. They can charm & mez. So they could charm a mob to do the fighting for them, or they can melee it while twisting DoTs then when getting low on life let the DoTs wear off and chain-mezz while twisting in heal song to recover, then melee+dot again (and they can slow, so that should help too)
