Lock or Hunter for solo PVE SL 2021

I found hunter to more mobile and lock to be a bit more beefy, but what do you guys think is more fitting for Torghast solo and the overall solo experience in SL. I’m assuming that both can solo easily old raid contents.

For general PvE, I’d probably go hunter. Lock tends to be more… involved in its gameplay.

Both can do torghast and such without issue, it’s just that you’ll have an easier time roaming around killing stuff as a hunter. All 3 lock specs require setup on almost every pull, whereas a hunter has very little and greater burst.

From a pure usability standpoint, I’d go hunter if I was only interested in solo experiences. If you want something to main and maybe raid someday, then it’s a toss-up.

i have both, and it just depends on what mood i’m in. if you want attacks while on the run, go hunter. if you like casting, dotting, and moving around more, go lock.

I have played both extensively as well, and the mood suggestion is a good one. Although, I get bored with my hunter much more quickly than the lock.

Shadowlands solo torghast it’s gonna be lock, hunter powers suck so bad compared to demo lock. Portal can get you some places others will have a hard time to but with flying coming next patch it’s probably useless now…

Old content farming hunter is better, nothing better than instant cast aoe that one shot mobs + disengage speed boost, but imo most of the hunter armor sets look so bad it’s not even worth farming. They are good for mounts/achievements though.

Both classes can do Torghast pretty all right.

You will be using your control abilities on both.

Both of mine can do Layer 8 with little to no issues.

Overall similar. Torghast us demo warlock imo.
Demolock make torghast look like a child’s joke.

yeah, same here, which is why i have like 12 more 60’s i play… they’re my multiple personalities, lol.

I do Torghast as Destruction. Things melt.

Even at the start of the xpansion with like 180 ilvl, BM had no problem with solo content

After a point I stopped going out of my way for power ups. Any hodge-podge will do except for maybe TC 7/8.

I prefer Warlock over hunter and have since in my humble opinion blizzard has kind of screwed all specs of hunter up in recent years.
