Best solo melee class?

Feels like you're shaming me for running oom in 84 min intervals and trying to frame it as a skill issue when this isn't a thread about optimizing not leaving your chair as a 300 lb mammal. You've already established your authority on that subject. This is, however, a thread about soloing, and your argument is invalid.

More insults. I am just pointing out things you have already said:

If you don't have mana recovery, those cheap spells will eventually tank your mana and the recovery is bad. You can maintain a semi-homeostasis longer with more mana.

So I have 2300 mana. Flame lick costs 10. I cast it twice per mob. That's 20 mana. That's 115 mobs. Say 45 seconds a kill. That's 86 mins of uptime, not including passive mana regen. Snaggles ranger with 1600 mana gets 60 mins of uptime only spending mana on flame licks. It's not an issue that needs to be solved with Tolan's gloves. The mana just runs out eventually. It's ok. That's an example of how more mana not run out faster. Thank you for weighing in.

Feel free to correct the record if you are using some strategy other than max mana to maintain your mana past 86 minutes.

When I pointed out clickies were a method of mana recovery, you responded with sarcasm:

Lol. Did you know you can use 4 second cast items and proc weapons as a replacement for near instant cast, low mana spells? Thank you for sage insights as always.

I have plenty of evidence showing clickies work as mana recovery items when applicable. But unfortunately you use the argument from authority fallacy to ignore what I say, instead of countering with your own evidence:

The presumption that you have anything to educate me with regarding a class I've leveled and raided with extensively which you also don't play is, quite frankly, presumptuous, and I don't appreciate it.

People will think you are an authority if you respond with evidence instead of fallacies.
