Whether it's self healing, self mitigation, etc. Which melee DPS is the best for surviving solo?

The real world only makes sense once you realize it's an MMORPG.
I believe monk unless im forgetting something XD. Has the normal bloodbath/Second wind healing options. Monk has a lot of GCD speed so probably gets the most out of bloodbath compared to the other melees. Then you have riddle of earth which is the best melee mitigation.
Dragoon![]()
Monk. 6.0 it could have been Reaper with the HoT.
Monk has the 20% mitigation.
It's gotta be MNK. FoW+blood bath is basically a regen. Give that to a job that also does really good damage, and it will most certainly keep them alive longer than most
My Reaper has no problems with content and stays alive.
Probly monk they have almost tank level mitigation with riddle of earth
All the jobs have the two shared self healing skills, but of the job specific abilities, I'd have to say between monk or reaper. If arcane crest was still 100 potency then definitely reaper, but they nerfed that to 50. Monks 3 stacks of riddle of earth on a relatively short cooldown is pretty wild. The stacks are a hold over for when it used to give an additional effect of ignoring positionals and I'll be shocked if they still have the 3 stacks in 7.0.
Reaper + Dragoon cause of Bloodbath plus higher armor class is tied for 2nd...
1st place I'd say goes to Monk for literally all the reasons Tom mentioned.
When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
Dragoon not only has Bloodbath and Second Wind, but it also has more overall health and Life Surge absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP, so if you use it on your most powerful attacks it will be a good heal.
In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
"We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."
