Which melee class solo levels the easiest / fastest?

[Baler]

my opinion is that bards who disrupted zones on p99 blue were some the fastest leveling and powerleveling.
I even recorded some power leveling sessions prior to the 25 cap.

There was a forum user, who I regret forgetting but they had an exp bar gif of just how much exp they got in 1 pull. it went up almost 2 full levels.

To more directly answer you, bard melee sucks something awful. But EQ defined them as a melee class.
