"Can all toons be Melee or Tanker or Both?"
"Yes & No... 1st off, you need the right gear, 2nd'ly Alchemists are NEVER melee"
"Lastly, all toons use "Character Class Specific" Items which can affect their effectiveness"
"Use this link to verify toon stats / equipment: http://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/index.php?g=2 "
"Use this link to verify weapon ratio stats: http://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/index.php?g=3 "Most Common Tank Classes:Barbarian [] Fighter [] Rogue [] Samurai [] Paladin [] Headhunter
Remember how I said toons have "Character Class Specific" items? Well there is ONE thing that all
these classes have in common, they can ALL use Robe, Padded Robe, Leather & Scale Armor.
The Rogue & Headhunter can NOT use Chain Mail or Plate Male.
BEST Versatile Tank Armor = Scale (This armor has the best overall defense vs BOTH magical / physical damage)
BEST Physical Tank Armor = Plate (High end defense) / Chain (Low end defense)
Not going to go into simantics about Robe vs Padded Robe vs Leather, as these are more for BEST magical defense properties
Secondary Tanker Class = Guardian:
This toon only uses Chain & Plate, not just that, they are also restricted to using Healing charm types only, BUT, they
have the BEST stat placement for Int/Vita to create Tank/Healer build... Personally I like melee/healer, but, I am nuts 
Pure Melee Build:Weapon
= Best Enhanced Effect
Armor
= Highest Stat to the Highest Weapon Ratio Stat... example: Sword Ratio Strength 75 / Dexterity 25
Main Charm Slot
= Highest Stat to the Highest Weapon Ratio Stat... example: Sword Ratio Strength 75 / Dexterity 25
ACC Charm Slot

"What is the best abilities I should use whether I am solo'ing or in a group?"
"The best way to identify the BEST abilities, is based on two scenarios"
