Best solo melee class?

Subjectively, which combo felt best / lowest stress? Really only metric that matters for soloing. Primal bow pulls for avatar + Meljeldin, Bane of the Giants feels best for me, but EC + Whip is stupid good sustain.

That’s a good question. The brain is tricky because I was probably the most comfortable with the Meljeldin just logically knowing I’d get bigger ripostes and get hit by less. I’m used to a lumpy 2h and for most stuff it’s my go-to. The DW dps combo was concerning as I was hoping of 100dd procs, despite being rather close (statistically).

The EC and Whip initially was freaky knowing it was a bit of a gimmick. I didn’t factor how many times an offhand weapon will still proc, or that when running id preproc a rune for the next fight. The whip in the MH on a slowed Geo the ranger felt more like a real melee. One fight I pulled two and rooted one, then killed then back to back. Maybe two greens but with an early slow proc on the first I wasn’t worried at all.
