Sorry - dont know anything about melee hunters.
Melee hunter and Tank rogue are easy picks for wanting to try something that feels different from whats available in retail/vanilla and both are extremely viable both for leveling and at endgame.
The melee hunter setup in SoD is dead simple, it assembles and explains itself but has room for skill expression/meaningful runeswaps. Rogue tank is considerably more intensive to get the hang of but very rewarding and can do some insane things (infinite disarm/30second evasion/carnage aoe healing with serrated blades talent cooks even consecration leech per target) however they have been a bit neglected design wise since P5 due to smaller % of the player base.
One I’ve not played personally but only heard glowing reviews for (also very strong and likely to stya that way) is arcane mage though it apparently suffers some from the fact that it’s skill ceiling comes from navigating weird ways that blizzard has programmed their spells rather than situational consideration.
They need a pocket heals to do good in PvP and in PvE there are always other classes that have way better burst. SoD pally pocket heals, in non SOD then it is priest pocket heals.
rogue tank still slaps even with the recent nerf.
they’re around.
Pally is an overcrowded class with more people wanting to tank then there are groups to tank for.
I seen and heard rogue solo raids and dungeons, some videos recently and some late so was wondering when questing is it hard to quest as a tank rogue. Also im guessing for now dont make a pali as would be extremly hard to gear
Simonize just solo Garr on his rogue. He has a video out on it.
That looks so cool but i feel im kinda late to try to gear for me when i hit max level
Its not too late and there are so many ways to catch up. Either solo or in a guild.
Thank you for all the help, that sounds good just i like soloing in retail and to some degree cata so if i can do it here i would love to do so not maxizing gold or anything just like the challenges
I know it wasnt in your list, but I’ve had an ABSOLUTE blast with Affliction Lock running Felguard, Master Channeler and Haunt
