Picking a class for real!

[DrKvothe]

You're not really going to be a very successful soloer if you're meleeing, unless you're twinked to the gills. Even people who point to monk may be thinking of a pretty severely twinked monk.

I'll break down the possibilities that I think you'll like:
melee soloers: monk and semi-twink shaman. semi-twink shaman means pulling with drowsy, dotting, and wailing away with a huge 2h, like poison wind censor. pretty darn effective.

melee groupers: monk as mentioned, and bard. Bard allows you to melee a bit in groups, and when you can't find a group you can find a kiting partner and level faster than anyone in the game. Keeping 3 songs up isn't really that challenging, and most classes end up pressing the same 3 buttons.

pet casters: druid, mage and enchanter. Your pet, at least, will be able to engage the mob and fck it up. An enchanter with a rogue npc charmed is a godly phs dmg dpser in groups.

If I had to narrow em down further, I think you'd like the melee shaman, monk, or druid best. Druid is a good choice because you can always port whore for cash, and that cash would go a long way toward twinking a melee dpser.
