Paladin Build

You can learn whichever weapon class you're missing for 10s, so I wouldn't put too much consideration into the starting weapon class when choosing race.

Oh, I was just wondering which was better, really.

Okay, so I'm either going Paladin, my initial inclination, or Rogue or Hunter... Who can solo the best?

Or is there another class that's particularly good at soloing?

I've played Shaman, Hunter, Rogue, Priest. I'd say Shaman, hunter, and rogue are all pretty good soloers.

In your case, you don't have shaman as a choice, so you're choosing between hunter and rogue.

Hunter, you get a pet that tanks for you, so you rarely if ever die, so it's pretty easy to solo. Hard to take on large groups of monsters alone though.

Can a Hunter outdamage a Rogue?

Hunters are probably the easiest solo class, along with warlocks.
Rogues have the highest (mages may tie here) single target DPS in the game.


Both are vastly overplayed on most servers, though.

Mage - Higher burst DPS
Rogue - Higher sustained DPS
