Solo Melee class

[Jimjam]

Interesting discussion, Foxplay/Troxx.

I did a parse fairly recently of the average damage taken by different melees in hands against the highest level mobs in Karnor's Castle (the circa 48-51 stuff).

Basically every class level 51 + took similar average hits, and it was actually avoidance that separated the classes (Monk>knight>paladin from the examples I parsed). Basically, against some xp content it is possible to trivially 'cap' mitigation. If you were soloing lower level mobs I imagine this margin in avoidance would narrow also.

While Troxx is right if you exclusively consider mitigate+avoidance, I feel if you add in Earthcaller (or at lower level swarmcaller?) the ranger might actually do better against some mobs, especially if the monk doesn't play within his weight superlimits.
