With the new express event coming in a few weeks, i'm considering making a new alt who could do monkey island and alakkir solo in a reasonable time (or at all in case of monkey) and was wondering which classes might work best?
the last google search result i found was that glavier was a good pick but it got a major rework so not sure if that is still the case?

Predator Slayer IS a good Pick for unknown, alaker, etc.
Predator works exactly the same and skills hit really hard still.
Punisher with an atropine, dark nade can kill most equalized things in 5s or less, i've had multiple 80% cruel fights because awakening into bloodlust kills things in challenge abyssal and easily 50%+ in challenge gr. But your rotation to generate meter takes age
Yep. But punisher still First choice for ch abyss 😜
I dont know about those islands, but in regular equalized there is nothing better, than barrage arti.
My go to is barrage arti + wife runs paladin for our equalized BS weekly hw. Nothing beats it really tbh.
I did monkey solo on CO summoner, which is probably one of the worst equalized classes. Takes almost the entire timer so def wouldn't recommend it.
Glaivier is not as great anymore, it still has a very strong awakening but you don't get boatloads of free crit so your damage falls off over time.
DI SH is probably the easiest still.
I think slayer works really well for unknown
mayhem zerker should be solid
I’m just ignoring all of this content until it is not equalized anymore.
equalized content: demonic, slayer, berseker, destroyer, glavier, deadeye, gs. At least in my experience those classes are impossible to beat, for island i have no clue.
Dont know about GS. I feel its a total gamble. Your crit gets scaled down so its basically a 50/50 if you crit and if you dont its terrible with KBW. Also GS is heavily tripod reliant so you miss a ton of dmg.
However, it plays exaclty the same because you dont lose gauge gain or anything so i still consider it good. Also the awakening somehow feels very strong in equalized content. Does as much dmg as all other skills combined
Yup that’s my biggest complaint on GS, all of the sudden I the Equalized-Nerfed Stat version you are barely KBW viable and it feels pretty bad. Overall rotation though remains about the same.
DI SH in equalized content is horrible. You need to put way more wealth runes in human skills, use all of your skills and don't miss otherwise you can't transform.
Same with punisher slayer, predator on the other hand is busted once you enter your burst.
I ended playing my paladin in the weekly challenge abyss and guardian raids before of how bad di sh and punisher slayer is.
