Best solo melee class?

[sajbert]

Any melee class can solo except Rogue unless you hate yourself.

Most melee classes require twinking to not be a miserable experience. Haste, fungi, jboots and a good weapon will go a long way and if you can't afford that at least grab 2 of the four, or you'll pretty much be grouping anyway.

Monk and SK and to an extent rangers (vs animals) do the best solo without significant twinking. Once Kunark clickies come into effect Paladins get decent too thanks to the Deepwater helm.

Twinked monk will still do the best, if nothing else because of their high DPS and mend to help mitigate what little downtime you have.

Once 60 monk, pala and SK offer the most power and ability to grind easier targets in upper level dungeons. Ranger however is pretty dead outside of tracking and raiding. In raids SK is pretty much a dead class.
