Out of the classes with some melee

[Nekkojakk]

If you're considering melee hybrids like pali/sk you may as well just make the shaman.

starting out as a melee can be done, but its gonna be painful. Bard isn't too bard to start out with, you can AoE kite fairly quickly

Is there more to Velious than tanking the turtle?

[Nekkojakk]

Anyone know at what point the hybrid class penalty goes away in velious?

Monks, Rangers, Shadowknights all have their unique tricks up their sleeves.

Step one, learn to strafe kite. It works at all levels to help vs tougher mobs, though isn't necessarily the fastest way to kill mobs.

Monks are pretty powerful soloers once well geared. Shadowknights can almost legitimately solo exp giving mobs/named up into their 40's with the right luck/patience/chess/careful preperation etc... I know SK's who gleefuly solo'd gatorscale legs, and ass/up with classic gear and levels.

Paladins solo well vs undead and whatever but are more suited to regular exping then killing hard opponents.

Rangers have the most versatility and track. They with a bit of effort and learning can solo tough opponents for melees. Even indoors.

SHamans do melee pretty well at all levels.

For future reference you should hit up blue forums with questions like these but they will agree with the majority here on this subject, Ogre Shaman is the way to go.
