Best solo melee class?

I found the opposite to be true. My SK could go hours killing with no breaks if you knew where to fear kite in tight quarters. The hole and HS specifically, whereas my monk had to still constantly take breaks to bandage and struggled with casters, both equally twinked. I suppose it all depends on where you hunt though. I feel like an SK in this state of Velious is more of a pure solo class than a monk is, but I'm not denying that monks are an overall superior class. Also if you get lucky with a POTG or have someone to log in your druid bot that solves most of the SK mana problem.
