what it's the best melee solo class??

[DMN]

The only thing a monk offers over an SK as a soloing class is higher DPS.

But it's like saying a wizard is a better solo character than a druid because they do more damage per cast, and just simply ignore everything else.

Better dps, better skills, better discs, better mitigation, less down time

It is a toss up between monk and archery ranger....

Ranger - Amazing utility....invis, see invis, sow, heals, roots, snares, dots, DDs.....they have a great spell line up that makes soloing MUCH better. Root also means they can take on 2 or 3 things at once.

And, of course, if you focus on using bows....you win. You are an unstoppable outdoor solo god! Even indoors you can root and shoot if you have a little room.

Oh, and they get animal fear....so can fear kite animals without worrying too much. Along with harmony (for pulling).....



Monk - Stuff dies a bit faster, but you have to stay within your "sweet spot" of power. If it is too strong or too weak, you won't solo it. A ranger with a bow can solo a mob 5 levels higher without a problem.

Monk does better solo deeper in dungeons where stuff can go wrong though. Since they can FD if something goes bad, it lets them crawl deeper into sol b alone hunting for exp (for example).

Though a ranger can root and camp out if things go bad (I've done this when soloing in places I can't zone at).....still, not even close to the FD of monks.


Overall....ranger wins. For the simple fact that if they get a certain bow, they are able to AE kite from 35-55+. Also, they are just so much nicer to solo with (or duo with mages / wizards / necromancers / anyone else). Monks do GREAT duoing with shamans and clerics and other healers....but a bow ranger can duo with anyone.

Yea, archers are great.

Oh! And also!! There are SOOOO many monks that you will be competing HEAVILY for all decent monk stuff. Know how many archers there are? About 3....in the entire world.

So if stuff drops, you have a way better chance to get it. Or even buying a decent haste item for an archer is way cheaper (since there is an archers sword that no one else really wants).

Glad we settled this. Rangers > Monks.

Sks have fear kiting and thats it (not very fun to do tbh)

Monks can solo basically anywhere level appropriate without twinkage

And sitting there with auto attack plinking away is "fun".

OP i would ignore everyone in here. I've seen nothing ut garbage advice from people who twink the hell out of their chars. making a monk as first char would be so dumb. You can't even hardly loot anything and you'd ned cash for constant bandags.

Just dumb, dumb advice here.

Giant bunch of BS.

We are talking about soloing here. I know you are a bit bitter about SKs raping you repeatedly on red bro that they trigger you, but try to read the actual OP an engage your tiny brain before you post.

monk vs SK is actually an incredibly one sided matchup in the monk's favor

my monk can solo things an SK would never come close to soloing

Are all 6k of your posts so incredibly mindbogglingly stupid and detached from reality?
