Best solo melee class?

Suggesting you put 20 points into INT as your starting stats doesn't mean I am saying max mana is better than sustain in a solo/group XP session. These are two different discussions.

4. When soloing, SK's use mana for fear kiting, especially when they are an Iksar without access to Blood Ember. This is a much more efficient manner of leveling than face tanking the mob. The mana is going to help with fear kiting.

Max mana should be a lower priority for sure. When trying to maximize kills per hour, you generally aren't meditating to full mana before the next kill, so extra max mana is often unused.

Which is it, is the max mana helpful for fear kiting leveling, or is it often unused because you generally aren't meditating to full while fear kiting leveling?

The argument could be made that it's both, but that would also mean you're weighting the value of that extra mana far differently then versus now, for the purposes of rhetoric.
