If you have a Fungi and good weapons, any melee (including Warrior) can solo just fine until at least level 30. I have a gnome Warrior I soloed to 24 with an Iksar Ceremonial Chestplate and some cheap weapons like wurmslayer + fist of zek. I just went to the normal places like Oasis of Marr, Unrest, Guk, etc. Lower level mobs don't have a lot of HP, so good weapons will just chainsaw them down, and fungi will keep your HP up.

yay...level 30...

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying a Warrior/Rogue is going to be a solo god at level 59. You are going to have less camp options compared to a Monk, Shaman, Enchanter, etc. But you could probably solo a Warrior to roughly level 50 without too much issue in many "normal" camps if you were well twinked. I am not talking about camping a single static spawn.

I leveled a Warrior mostly solo on live starting in 1999, with some twinkage. Nothing too crazy, didn't have a Fungi.

That fungi+haste+~1/1 ratio weapon combo will coast well past 30. You can tear up Unrest basement, so that's 40 at least. More like late 40s you'll feel like you're no longer god mode.

I rolled a monk a few years ago because I was in a similar situation. I had very limited play time, and I wanted a class that could just log in, get a few kills then log out whenever (without having to spend time getting to a safe spot) so Monk was the best choice.

ENC, SHM, NEC are all great -but they really start taking off post level 30. Any melee twink will have a good time sub level 30 (especially with limited play time) but Monk does it best. Ranger is also super fun. Paladin is a bit tougher because of lack of invis, you're limited to spots to hunt in. Same with warrior, but a twinked warrior is a powerhouse

On p99, I ultimately settled on Monk and Necro and agree that Monk is really nice for a "pick up and play" experience (on a laptop).
