I know it seems like a silly question, but beserker mode and crits enticed me. Especially if i geared the warrior out properly.

On the other end the monk can do more things, especially soloing at higher levels

If berserker mode and crits sounds like more fun to you, then that's your answer.

Notice no one actually answered your question, which was about fun, to which the only answer is "fun is subjective", and instead went with the min/max fastest choice.

I would definitely say warrior is more fun to level. The way they scale every level up is wonderfully rewarding. Great fun all round.

Monk is just...too easy? And sooner rather than later you're just another lizard monk twink and every other lizard monk twink is better or worse than yours, and none of it means anything or matters. Then you end up BiS and you still just auto attack things and they die or you die. You use more worts and they die. /yawn Watch some of Kelz's videos for an example.

And berserker/crits is not a thing. You do that maybe twice once you loot a twisted steel or gauduraak etc, bleh.

But the levelling experience on a warrior is sublime in contrast to the boredom and ease of a monk. Your decisions matter and have consequences as you have no get out of jail free card in a single key.

What do you mean by solo exactly?

If you are twinked (fungi/haste) then both are great fun up to 50, after which a warrior starts to fall off really hard for soloing. You can still do it, but it becomes very limiting.

If you can get the epic for the monk, you can solo to 60 without too much hassle. It's still a grind, but almost every class is after 54. If you can't get the epic, then the monk won't be all that much better than the warrior but at least you can hunt in a lot of extra places and feign death gives you an out for almost any situation.

I did alot of solo 50+ on my warrior,fun isn't thr right word. It's very tedious even heavily geared. Monk would fit the fun factor better

How is soloing a twinked melee 'fun' though. It's a race to be in the bottom 1000 worst geared 60 monks on the server. Maybe people don't realise how futile that is and everyone needs to experience it for themselves?

I don't talk from a position of not having done it, with plenty of gear, having delevelled on multiple classes multiple times. Watched near BiS monks/rangers/warriors etc delevel etc.
There is no reward in auto attacking a mob slightly more efficiently than auto attacking that same mob on a different class with more or less gear, and it certainly aint fun. So knowing it isn't fun, the aim is to do it for the least amount of time possible.

I admit I was wrong to state warrior not having read the question. He did say solo. My bad.

You're a moron for soloing either class, but a monk will take less time doing the mundane boring shitty task of soloing a monk or warrior to 60.

Play an enchanter or necro, go do fun dangerous solo things.

There's a visceral satisfaction I get with trading blows that I just don't get watching my frog kill the other frog.

The thing that sucks imho is the gearing. Parking my alt in ToV for a month while I wait for the gear I want to drop is super lame. Casters can at least camp most of their gear themselves / derive most of their power from spells / levels which is much more pleasant a progression on the whole.
