Best solo melee class?

[Ennewi]

So two obvious, non-melee aspects of the class are telling when looked at in combination. The bard has free movement while casting, uninterrupted, no concentration required, and yet it's allowed all of 1 skill point in meditation. That isn't a caster in any traditional sense. It also disregards channeling altogether and, typically, does not consume mana when casting. It isn't subject to mana drain effects, even when succored. Each one of these features is unique and excludes it from all other casters.

None of its combat skills come with an asterisk when compared to other melee classes. It has mainhand damage bonus, dual wield, and the epic proc specifically benefits melee attacks, its own and others.
