Which melee class solo levels the easiest / fastest?

[Keebz]

I wonder if you could get perfect solo spawns whether the warrior would be faster.

Warriors have less penalty (potentially 86% vs 120% exp requirements!) and can wear better gear (Rubi BP, Mith 2h, +HP gear, etc.).

Monks of course have mend, a higher bind wound cap, and higher skill caps in general 40-50 (I'm ignoring FD, because we hypothetically have perfect solo spawns in this scenario).

I'm willing to bet the monk would still pull ahead 40-50. The simultaneous lack of skill ups and mobs beginning to hit like trucks really hurts the non-monks. But until the 40's it would probably be in the warrior's favor.
