Savage has highest dps for single pull melee, id go with warden/sm or chanter for highest dps overall (ml9 pet/focus/pbae) with some buffs and heals, and ml9+celerity=awesome on keeps. 2h sav and warden would prolly be great also. Have the sav get champ spec buffs with 25% buffing, and warden gets bases. Self haste stacks with celerity (but not reg haste buffs from druids, ect.). So, if you had a troll sav with 0 qui in suit, no spec qui buff, keeping your self haste and warden cele, youd cap a 10 spd 2h hammer... You have infinite endo (warden just heals you), and a blockbot so nothing hits you.

That would do way more dmg than a warrior/shaman combo. I also think there are potions that give spec str, not sure.

Savage has the highest DPS of any melee toon, until you start fighting epic level mobs such as TG/Galla/Sidi, then a heavy tank will pull ahead due to landing more attacks. This is assuming you're running a small group, and don't have petspam, with spam, the savage would be superior because it would be landing attacks at a much higher rate.

However, a pbae class will out-dps even the highest RR savage by such a huge margin that it isn't fair to compare them. My enchanter routinely hit purples for more than my savage hit oranges and yellows for, and she hits as many targets as there are available, savages can only hit one at a time.

Chanter/Warden is the best balance of kill speed, versatility and durability in the game, in my opinion.

I'd have to agree, Chanter/Warden would be the way to go if you wanted the most versatility/survivability for a duo.
However, I really do like using Arms/Druid combo when I'm not running my keep team. It's just something about that
polearms Inconnu that I love lol, I'm just weird maybe. Really it all boils down to having fun, so play what you want.

On the hitting epic mobs, would a thane/valk using thousand storms make them hit more than a warrior?

Solo / with a few friends, no. Small group or two, sure. Animist/Theurg is still the way to go for petspam, however.

the original post is what bot+melee will do the best against the most. not melee in some specific situation. and caster shouldnt even enter the discussion.

there is really no debate as to the answer of the op question.
