Best solo melee class?

Yep. The casted versions are superior. The FD pants are a backup.

It's best to use pants whenever possible to save mana. Deaths peace is for emergencies. No reason to spend 120 on a basic mob split.

Why are there 9 pages of discussion about Tolan's gloves for threat in xp groups in a thread about best SOLO melee class? Jesus let it go.

Knowing how to save mana via clickies is relevant to soloing as well. If you are kiting with snare, using a snare clickie saves you mana. This means you can solo longer between med breaks.

Even if you get hit once or twice due to the cast time, you can just equip Fungi while running around. 15 HP/Tick is a much faster recovery rate than 1-2 Mana/Tick.

This is especially true when you are playing a class with spell Regen. A 60 Ranger is getting 29 HP/Tick with Fungi and Chloroplast while standing.

Knowing how to spend resources wisely (including HP) is how you optimize your solo kills per hour.

It's the determining factor.

I like the woushi shield, because I already have buttons on my (1) hotbar for swaping weapons and it doesn't require me to use valuable hotbar space on other slots.

I did a quick video in HS north using Blood Ember Gauntlets and Blood Ember Boots for fear kiting. I used SK Epic for my weapon.

I started at 100% HP and Mana. After 6 kills, I ended the 6th kill at 100% HP and Mana. This was without taking any breaks between kills. I did not meditate at all.

This is an example of how strong clickies are when it comes to saving mana. For all of the people wary about clickie cast times, Blood Ember Boots have a 7 second cast time, and the gloves have a 5 second cast time. I was able to land them just fine without any significant issues to the overall session.

Have you experimented with just using the gauntlets and casting Spook the Dead instead of clicking the boots? Much shorter cast time and only 10 mana. With a five-second difference in cast time, you could med the mana back after each kill and come out ahead, even without a FT item.
