Best solo melee class?

[Snaggles]

Charming in outdoor zones is very fun and it’s a skill worth practicing. It’s not swarm speed but is quicker than melee-style as you are putting down two npc’s at the same time. It’s also a bit more flexible where you can hunt.

Being able to run fast is part of the joy of soloing a bard. Personally, my nerves could never handle swarming (fatigue more than the stress).

Monk is the most fun solo melee by a huge margin. It's easy and effective. Every other class will have downsides unless XYZ which usually includes more time then it's worth unless you're a degenerate like the rest of us.

I think from a pure solo perspective sks are more superior without factoring in endless consumables. Better at splitting, getting around, and interrupting spells. I think monks sweet spot is duo/trio.

I dunno with the 25 mob limit I feel like a charming bard could out level swarming at least until 51 when charm starts using mana.

You definitely have more grind spots available with less setup time. Far less deaths.
It’s the “slow but steady” approach which is more my angle.

Go Rogue

Everyone saying "swarm a bard / charm using a bard" --- those are NOT melee options.

When I think melee characters, I think a character that is going to stand toe-to-toe and melee down a mob to kill it. Using spells / songs as supplement to melee damage.

It's literally a melee class. Please refrain from giving advice unless you have experience playing the game.
