Which melee class solo levels the easiest / fastest?

[Vdaria]

How are paladins at solo objectively compared to say rogues? I've committed myself to soloing a paladin to 50 for the lulz - just wondering how many lulz I'm going to have.

It's not hard to solo better than a Rogue—they are the worst soloers in the game. Paladin will be slow, but steady. Can split with lull or root, can self heal, has oh shit recovery in root and LoH, has access to decent itemization and has good starting faction.

warriors can solo up to lv 20 no problem
but as a melee class its pretty rough to solo
i recommend finding a duo partner preferably a shaman

Thanks for all the info! I have 2 questions for you though!


1) If your SK was average twinked (6-7k worth of gear, a Mithril 2 Hander weapon). How much closer in soloability would it be to your Monk?

and

2) You mentioned Monks Bind Wound was better than the SKs? Whats the difference between them?

Like someone said 2 SK caps vs monks. Yes Lifetaps are nice but no where near mana efficiency.

If the SK is twinked with Mt2h yeah I think It would pull closer to the monk. Some things to consider. Monks can split and fight w/o needing to move/kite and so able to do nice high ZEM dungeons. The SK truly needs to be able to fear kite. Which limits your camps you can do. Truly some areas SKs make it seem ez Fear kiting, but at same time even twinked our dps is lack luster compared to a monk. Our spells are great for utility but that is it, our dots our like lvl 12 necro dots. So killing slower then monk means your taking the same amount of dmg. Which monk generally recovers faster. Again tricks for SKs, is Life tap random greens if able, but then your mana starving yourself. Though SK can wear rubi BP if you currenlty have one(which I got mine on sk at 35 it helped, but trust me still doen't help enough)

Info on dmg My souleech BiS Planar geared SK vs Planared geared Monk the dmg isn't even comparable, I used to PL on SK all time for friends/guildies, Monk is gotta be 5x more effiencnt, taking less dmg, not mana starved, and self heals. Its insane the difference.

Also FYI if making SK plz pick DE(High int which SKs later on need the most, plus can self bind with ring of dead or Orge easier to cap 255 str super early, can carry more as your leveling aka free finesteel those flimsy wizzys cant carry, plus Frontal stun immunity people can say what they want. But when your tanking a planar mob or say Fire giants and need to FD split them, getting stunned while trying to FD. Can greatly increase your chance of dying(enjoy that xp penalty)

I have a few friends whos done pallys.

A good thing to remember, Is pallys take 5 mins to kill the non undead, but very little down time. Vs undead their pretty efficient(which spoiler theres undead all the way from 1-50)

SKs take 2 mins to kill non-undead but 5 mins down time[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rogues Cant solo past mid twenty maybe to 30. Unless your farming High greens the whole time-_-

Cant split pulls as easy as monk, cant heal as fast since hp is huge and dont have the avoidance skills the monk does to not even get hit, have laughable dps compared to monk

Monks are broken

Snare fd combo pretty OP tho... so OP it highlights how godmode monks are as they are still even better !

hey dummy SKs can solo to 50 easily is the point

Except it isn't? The thread is about which melee class has the easiEST time solo'ing to 50.

SKs have an easy time solo'ing relative ranger/warrior/pally/rogue.

Monks have an easy time relative even to SKs.

[Castle2.0]

SK are slow, especially 40+ due to lack of DPS.

It's also a question of how twinked... If you're talking Kunark itemization with fungus tunic, monk takes the cake.

With so many people talking about how great XYZ class solo's I encourage everyone to Contribute to the P99 Wiki.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide
Here is a great place to contribute camps!

Please consider taking some time to recall where you solo'd on a class and add it!
If you don't feel comfortable editing the wiki or don't know how. Please feel free to PM me and I will assist you in any way possible.

Not on green with a mith, not relative to any other melee class anyway. And ya monks get a lot of stuff in kunark but you can't those things now, and you can't play the minmax race for one either. Also there should be a good time period in kunark where Sks should be able to do the the FD and immediately stand up trick via CoS.
