Best solo melee

[Barlu]

I’ve spent a ton of time soloing and did a monk to 60 almost exclusively soloing and my Pally is 55 from almost exclusively soloing.

I don’t see how you can make an argument that SK is going to solo better than a Pally unless you want to fear kite which sucks to do and also means you can’t solo in any dungeons. The downtime on an SK even if troll or Iksar is terrible. A Pally pops off 180 HP/tick regen using Deepwater BP and can do it in battle by casting a 20 mana root and backing up 3 steps. Add in that Pallys can handle adds far better than SK and it’s easy. Most dark blues that I solo take 60 mana which is the cost of Enstill and I’m back to full healthy 60-90 seconds after each kill. When exping on my Pally I can do 2-3 dark blues at a time and still have plenty of mana leftover by the time the fight finishes.

The general consensus in this thread is it is far and away Monk but from personal experience that’s just not the case. Monk may still be faster (I did mine before BW Nerf) but it’s not by much. My monk also has better gear than my Pally for what it is worth.
