Are you sure it isn't the hunter with no bow no pet and has the "warrior" complex?
Nah its not the hunter, unfortunately - They can do moderate melee damage with 2H weapon in range, or even dual wielding. It just doesnt even compare to the the bow/gun damage.

I used to think so too. Dueled my wife at 60 with my hunter she was 48 warlock at the time.
First time just had my pet attack her, battle lasted all of oh 5 maybe 10 seconds. Second time kept the pet back and tried to melee her to death. That ended badly I was wooped and she didn't loose much life.
Only thing hunter melee good for is wing clip and a single large raptor hit to finish someone that got in dead zone.
It was mostly a joke anyways I am sure they would do more melee damage than a priest it is still pathetic.
keep in mind that your average hunter isn't geared to melee. I'm sure if you had the right gear you could make it somewhat passable(not that i suggest doing it). Hell get yourself invulnerable mail and you can tank provided you get lots of stam gear and go survival, it's just not easy nor is it worth your time. It also definately is not to be used for first encounters, rather the 100000th time through bwl when you want to tank nef >.>

No I am not geared for melee, even geared though I couldn't see it anything other than a waste of time.

After raiding with 2 different toons, and low altitis tendencies. i tend to do 1 of 3 things. 1 of those is waste time achieveing stupid things. 2 is farming, 3 is pvp(which was raiding pre 2.0). Currently i'm survival specced because i got bored with marks, so now i just go around confusing people, ******** up there strats. I no longer crit as hard, but i crit often and wyvern sting is quite fun to play with

Just out of curiosity, was your melee weapon skill maxed? One of the things I do when I reach 60 with any of my characters is max out all their weapon skills. It’s something to do. *shrugs* And I usually find that my hunters’ melee skills are sadly lacking. If your weapon skill isn’t very high that can certainly have a negative impact on your melee damage.
Edit:
Oh, in answer to the original poster, I would have to say paladin. This may have changed since the new talents, but of all my characters my paladin killed the slowest. My druid came in second, as I preferred to fight in bear form most of the time.

Nah. I'd say a Mage that does nothing then spam Arcane Explosion is the least damaging class; noone will let them in raids, and no one lets them get close in PvP.
I dont have anything amazing, dual weilding Axe of the deep woods and serathil, it seems to be better than the peacemaker polemarm i have.
I find that i does Ok damage (your right, its only use for me really is looks, since the two axes match, and to get off that fast wingclip/raptor strike as needed), its not as bad as a priest hitting you with a staff or 1 handed mace.

When playing the class normally, I'd agree with paladin. Love my pally, but the killing is incredibly slow, unless you're a ret-spec pally - not that common.

I am a couple points shy of max, I often will melee when I farm crap just to save on arrows and cause well it is about the only time I get to.
I use the ice barbed spear, and I can get crits higher than my auto shot on raptor strike. Just so darn slow... I do have it designed for single high damage so wouldn't be the best weapon against a caster anyways, I had figured a caster 12 levels lower than me I would have won, apparently not though.
Druids are really slow in bear... I love to play my druid even at 41 I have a blast. I am pretty sure I am done with my hunter for the most part, some stuff here and there, just don't find the utility in groups really that I want with a hunter. Even with out mangle yet cat dps in feral is really nice.
The problem in the past with feral druids from my knowledge is that at 60 they no longer scaled with epic geared people. Supposedly things look good from beta impressions and with the new patch. I love to be feral druid, I like to shift out and heal and make the most of the class.

Since when? The majority sinks deep in Holy over Retribution, but most everyone puts some points in there.
In relation to the OP, i'm reminded of Pifuaa's suggestion a while ago to give a lock a Thunderfurry. I'm willing to put my vote in the melee clothie suggestion.

I played feral all the way to 60 and I still use it to farm. I’ll use cat form for casters and other mobs I can kill quickly, but I’m not happy with the amount of damage I take in cat form from tougher mobs.
I’ve not done much with my druid since the talent changes. But I’ve played around with him a bit. I’m very happy with his ability to heal after doing a crit. That would have made leveling so much easier. It may make killing in cat form a lot more fun for me. It’s limited to once every six seconds, but I expect it’ll still make a nice difference. I should give that a try.
Restoration Druid in Tree of Life form?
By the way, if you have a Druid, get some decent feral gear and respec to Mangle. Trust me, it's worth the cost and time. If only for a brief moment before respeccing into your healbot build.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
I was gonna say Resto specced druid, but they can always pop into cat form for some DPS, just not a lot. Basically, any healer or hybrid class that is 100% healing specced will have WEAK DPS.

This is just another "What is the uber-class?" question, but approached from the opposite direction. Listen up, Bozo! All classes have their place. No class is better or worse than any other. I'm getting sick and tired of people trying to learn differently. Play what you like, and f'god'sake grow up!
let me expand upon this a bit:
Classes can be put into three groups: Tanks, Healers and DPS, but that's not the whole story.
For example, Warrior = tank, a class that can take damage and keep on ticking, but that's a spec, not a class. Fury-specced warriors deal plenty of damage. Priest = Healer, but I've seen shadow-specced priests melt faces. Rogue=DPS, but I've seen rogues go through an entire instance stealthed while dealing no damage whatsoever.

Druid, profile below, I tank well enough that our normal 5 man tank, Protection Warrior in blues and purples, is jealous.
I solo in Bear form. I was in Cat, but healing after ever mob is slower.. and a downward mana sprial. In Cat form the mob would die and I would be at 40-60% health. In Bear form the mob would die (in much the same time) and I would be at 90-95% health.
I know I am "supposed to" solo in Cat form.. but I don't.
I love my Druid so much.. I kind of want a Balance Druid and a Restortion Druid (and maybe even a Cat specialized Build.. much is the same, tiny things aren't). And I see how all Druid Guilds get going.
To the OP.. generally in our instance runs our Discipline/Holy Priest comes in at or below 1% of total damage done to mobs. For whatever that means to you.

Well someones got a bug up there butt.
least damaging class? an disarmed hunter trying to melee.
I'd have to say priest, even in shadow. Priest are weak and need to heal.. I hate when they think they're rambo and go shadowform. I don't give a damn what they do in BG play, just dont bring it to the instance.

And I love when shadow priest comes to an instance where I'm going on my druid. They do great damage, help with healing and replenish everyones mana while I can easily handle the main healers job (and I like being healer).
Every class can fill more then one role in party (mostly damage dealer + something) and it's your fault you don't like shadow priests, not theirs.
Edit: To not forget thread topic. It used to be paladin, but as I see them stunlock and kill me all the time in bgs (on hunter and druid) idk how is it now.
P.S.: And both of those characters are pretty good geared (druid t2+AQ40 gear, hunter ZG epics+blues).
