Best solo melee class?

[Sizar]

I moderately twinked out a bard years ago to solo melee. Had full singing steel, 34% haste belt, breath of harmony and some other weapon i forget which. HP rings and earrings. Pretty basic stuff. It is very fun and easy to about level 45, ZERO downtime which i cannot even say for a monk. Kills are obviously slower than other melee but the zero downtime will make up for it somewhat.

After 45 it was a bit tougher. There was a bit of downtime but not a whole lot. At 51 it just became not worth it to only melee mobs down for xp. That is when i swapped to charming. (this was my 3rd bard, other 2 i leveled the more traditional charming way, this one I didnt charm even once)

The trick is to make sure you have the correct songs loaded. Like using a damage shield song did very little if I was also slow/snaring the mob, which I always was.

Oh also, this was all done without fear kiting either, all just 100% melee it down face to face

With an Uber twinked bard it would be ridiculous what you can do. I would imagine you can level at the pace of an uber twinked monk even
