Best solo melee class?

My ranger beats a lot of monks on the parse even off-disc.
Monks can’t use a 10dkp Primal axe.

A big selling point for monk is they can't equip that ugly thing.

Cheap 2h primals are great. I always feel bad for classes bottlenecked to primal brawl stick or 1h weapons. At least they improved the drop rate of 1h primals.

Shovel of the harvest better weapon anyway. Or Facesmasher. Oh yeah, and triple attack.

No, but I once watched a video of a druid aggro kiting a cliff golem with flame lick and a charm pet, that was pretty cool.

Monks will spend all their DKP on a primal 2hb and still not know how to split a pair of mobs. Monks don't even need weapons. They don't need armor. All they need is hutzpah and level 60

Wait, I was equipping BFG mainhand and Swiftwind offhand, given my weapon choices isn't that the optimal way to use it? And the first time I used it I had no idea how many arrows it would eat, so I think I summoned like 20-30 stacks. Now knowing how many it eats I can see using it more regularly on raids or groups when there's enough downtime between pulls for summoning.

I used it against Brother Z earlier and almost died from pulling aggro. Don't think I had Jolt up so I just turned off autoattack, and waited for some heals and the warrior getting aggro back. I beat the rogue on the parse too, but that's because he pulled aggro too and took a dirt nap. I guess I can take the fact that we both pulled aggro but he died and I didn't as vindication for gearing for AC [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ohh no, you are doing it right. I just meant if you don’t have at least a Kreiz Flame or a NTOV 2h it’s likely more damage on some targets just to melee off-disc. With a couple big bow crits it can punch above its weight class.

DSM, mana cheap aggro truly is the least of the class’ worry. Between Call of Fire, DW and flame lick I don’t think a bane wizard could peel off a ranger…for the 20 seconds they stayed alive.

I didn't say it was a major worry. Cecily is saying he is running OOM in groups after leveling 3 Rangers to 60.

Clearly he is having mana problems, and clickies help with mana problems.

I just find it odd that people are disagreeing with this basic concept for many pages.

Do you think Blerv should swap out Gauntlets of Dragon Slaying for tolan gloves? Do you think Zalea should swap out Twisted Steel Gauntlets?

And take another look at my Magelo and maybe you'll understand why they'd be a downgrade for me too.

I don't think anybody said to permanentally wear them. On my SK I just swap out my BE Gloves once I am done clicking. It's not hard to do.

Maybe it is just me but at that point I'd just throw on an earring of woven bark and leave it there if I'm gonna use it a lot... and just eat the extra 0,5 cast time.
