It depends on what class you play really.
My skald would have one list and my zerker would have one that looked quite different.
My skald has trouble against shield tanks, while my zerker has more trouble against 2-handers, DTing mercs, etc.

why is everyone missing out on heretics ? they have insane abs, quite hard to take down in melee. Just take Haxen as an example :s

In my personal opinion I would place them in this order, the only one I am unsure about is Heretics, having never fought one personally. I have assumed from the point of view of fighting general melee types of various classes over all rather then stongest against 1 particular class.

Champion
Warden
Merc
Paladin
Reaver
Valewalker
Vampire
Warrior
Hero
Armsman
Blademaster
Beserker
Skald
Valkyrie
Heretic
Friar
Thane

As VE Vampiir:

* Paladin
* Armsman
* Reaver
* Savage
* Warrior
* Mercenary
* Berserker
* Friar
* Skald
* Thane
* Valkyrie
* Heretic

Depends ofcourse also on their specs, and their playstyle. Not to mention assassins are tough nowadays, that WS-debuff is now affecting Vampiirs for the full rate, which hurts alot.

All really depends, Banelord classes are very effective against most casters, where as the warlord specced ones are very tough for meleers.

for sure tho, champion,merc,reaver they are probably the strongest ones.

Reaver because of Banelord, and ability do do huge dmg even on people with bof, and high abs%, (run thru and land levi, and slam and do levi too).

Mercenary because of dirty tricks, and good melee dmg + loads of AF, and banelord.

Champion, because of the debuffs, wich makes the champ basicly fight an un-buffed oponent, along with banelords, and RR5 ability that works great vs people with high abs. (LW also has really good 1v1 styles, and you can allways run thru and spam annihliation.)

Vampiir, depending on specc has huge resists, heal over time, fumble debuff, banelords and can get good weaponskill aswell.

Classes like Paladins/wardens can be really good too, however their fights usually last forever :p

(minstrel/skald, can win vs any melee char if they kite propperly)

Heh, my first fight against a warden after patch was last night against Ethilds.
I used purge twice in that fight(got purge 3) and we fought longer than that.
I'd say the fight lasted 7+ min and i lost. :(

i agree on everything except your little comment about bm:p you should have (kill target fast and laughs after) insteed (stand and laugh for 30 sek) the rr5 is good but that doesnt make the char, i usually kill ppl fast enough and easlie that i dont even have to think about my rr5:p

Yea, the BM rr5 isn't _that_ great in 1vs1 melee fights.
Gives them some time to use end pots or nice to have when someone pops Malice, etc.
My zerker has fought BMs that have used it and a couple of times it has given me enough time to use FA1, which doesn't exactely help the BM. :p

Considering their armour is week to your damage, its not suprising. However, thats not the case for everyone else :p For everyone else, they're immune to critical melee damage, hard hitting fuckers :)

Impossible to say, it's down to the player you meet, not the class most of the times.

Not really. In 1vs1 melee fights, it's mostly down to equipment, RAs, artis and MLs used, spec and what class you play.
Sure, you can change the outcome with some clever play some times, but if you meet a person with the "wrong" class and spec, you're going to lose. ;)
