Best solo melee class?

I'm genuinely curious whether you just didn't read my post, or are too dense to understand what I mean.

People are mentioning swarming and charming. THESE ARE NOT MELEE COMBAT.

I’m not the one redefining bards as “not a melee class” when people use them to swarm and charm stuff. Use does not redefine role…you can break up a bag of ice with a screwdriver but that doesn’t make the screwdriver an ice mallet.

Melee is one of the ways they can kill things. A Druid with a primal and shovel of the harvest does around 7-10dps on a raid mob, bards often do 25dps on AoW. Which do you feel is more of a melee archetype? Also, a bard meleeing like this to 60 (ie the least efficient way) is still on par or faster than normal melees outside maybe a monk.

If you are trying to shift the status quo of the game understanding, try being objective and less emotional. The bulk of the players don’t agree with you so try a bit harder to convince them or realize your logic is flawed and stop pouting.
