Default Monk v.s. Warrior

Which class is more fun to level up solo 1-60?

I know it seems like a silly question, but beserker mode and crits enticed me. Especially if i geared the warrior out properly.

On the other end the monk can do more things, especially soloing at higher levels

If berserker mode and crits sounds like more fun to you, then that's your answer.

Notice no one actually answered your question, which was about fun, to which the only answer is "fun is subjective", and instead went with the min/max fastest choice.

Do it then if you really want to make a Warrior. I don't think soloing with either class would be fun, personally I'd choose Monk if I had to, but I can see someone finding it somehow exciting to stay in berserker mode while solo, thinking it's thrilling to run around with less than 1/2 health killing things and seeing the big crit numbers.

Yes it is. Any good group that's just doing safe grinding should keep the Warrior in berserk mode when possible, and similarly for soloing the goal should be staying in berserk while fighting low-blue cons 1 at a time.

The only warrior I've met who demanded that we leave him in berserker mode the entire time was so insufferable I've never grouped with them again by choice, lol. I remember them screaming at me because I "over-healed" them only to turn around and scream for us to heal him faster when he almost died every single pull. And he eventually did die and rage quit the group. We didn't even let him die intentionally, but just by the nature of the stupidity, it happened. At a camp that is otherwise trivial and should be mindless and easy. He managed to make it super clunky and annoying. I could understand if the crippling blows were game changing, but when it's like omfg, once every couple of minutes this dude has a chance to crippling blow almost as hard as a monk kicks. Huge game changer !11!!!!!11! Who cares if you're now OOM from having to stand up every 2 seconds to inefficiently baby heal instead of meditate, go ahead and remove complete heal from your bars entirely because this is the new meta !

I would definitely say warrior is more fun to level. The way they scale every level up is wonderfully rewarding. Great fun all round.

Monk is just...too easy? And sooner rather than later you're just another lizard monk twink and every other lizard monk twink is better or worse than yours, and none of it means anything or matters. Then you end up BiS and you still just auto attack things and they die or you die. You use more worts and they die. /yawn Watch some of Kelz's videos for an example.

And berserker/crits is not a thing. You do that maybe twice once you loot a twisted steel or gauduraak etc, bleh.

But the levelling experience on a warrior is sublime in contrast to the boredom and ease of a monk. Your decisions matter and have consequences as you have no get out of jail free card in a single key.

Hmmm yes, can I autoattack this mob to death or not? Decisions decisions..... Warrior is NOT more fun to play solo, you simply cannot engage with as large a scope of solo locations or strategies as the monk, so therefore the only thing more "fun" is the crits as the guy said.

What do you mean by solo exactly?

If you are twinked (fungi/haste) then both are great fun up to 50, after which a warrior starts to fall off really hard for soloing. You can still do it, but it becomes very limiting.

If you can get the epic for the monk, you can solo to 60 without too much hassle. It's still a grind, but almost every class is after 54. If you can't get the epic, then the monk won't be all that much better than the warrior but at least you can hunt in a lot of extra places and feign death gives you an out for almost any situation.
