what it's the best melee solo class??

[Xaanka]

^ wrong. monks in velious era are better for PVP except for sitting at zonelines sniping harm touch zone-over kills. tripple attack patch will make them even better. monk wins every time 1v1.
in a regular group a monk is superior for the pulling role, and they simultaneously fill the DPS and tanking role with ease. worse aggro than an sk but better mitigation and dps by a long shot.
monks solo better, SK's take 15 minutes to kill 1 light blue con.

All these people talkin about monks are talking about their twink monks with crazy equipment and fungi :P

i've never twinked a monk, you can solo comfortably 1-60 with a 100 plat staff, cured silk, and bandages. every monk i've known on red has been able to farm a fungi tunic by low 50's no problem and that's counting the accelerated EXP rate.

good luck soloing on an SK without a MoSS or better weapon.

Eh? i had a high level SK on rallos zek(50+) and on fenin(60). They shit all over monks in PvP, regular grouping, and general soloability.

DMN is just trolling all over the forums with a hostile attitude to top it off. Won't last for long.

Monk is obviously the better choice. Monk is op af. Set up the mid-fight BW macro and you made yourself 2 fungis.

Def don't listen to DMN, the harbinger of non-classic.

Why the hell would you spend a bunch of cash on MoSS over something like PWC?

Cause you are dumb, maybe, and don't know what you are talking about?

You're comparing yourself to the worst soloing class in EQ, my rogue has a primal and it can't solo very efficiently. Also you're ignoring that bow kiting only works in outdoor zones, which are typically worse for EXP than dungeons.

You don't even need give it up if you don't want. just fight in areas nearby where necros like to hang out and get DMF + those butcher gloves = proc just adds more to the already high DPS.

Or just sell it, get your money back for it, and buy a different weapon at 50+.

I play on red, you're lucky to find another player in your zone. But yeah that's the same flaw as ranger bow-kiting: you're limiting yourself to a select few zones which are not optimal for leveling

PWC is solid 1-49 but you better have a game plan before you ding. And even then a SK with a PWC is a shit tiered soloer compared to a monk with a 100pp staff in cured silk with a BW macro.

That isn't even close to true....at around 20-25 I was in upper guk soloing -_- Root + back up and shoot. Nice ZEM bonus for exp and no down time / safe hunting. Shamans were annoying (always are), but I could take 2 or 3 frogs easily with root crowd control.

I also can solo in KC fine, or...basically any other zone where I can root mobs and have a tiny bit of room to back up (it doesn't take much space to be able to shoot).

I highly prefer outdoor zones though. Since my skydarkeners power is inhibited indoors ....and I think the 90 damage nuke wasn't working indoors either (I seem to remember a problem with that?). Also harmony + sow + normal camo doesn't work indoors....

Yea, outdoor zones are pretty nice :3

you're crazy if you think that's even remotely as efficient as crushing those mobs to death in seconds on a monk and bind wounding.

congrats, you can solo mobs in an indoor zone very slowly compared to every other solo class.
