Warlocks 2nd?
Yeah, I’d pick warlocks second. They have more survivability and tools, but you have inherent disadvantages for being a caster.
So who is 3rd?
Druid? Paly? Mage?
It’s hunters end of story.
a real list looks something like this
Mage is still the best. Hunters might be the talk of the town but mages are still silently soloing stockades in 2 pulls and selling boosts cuz of it
Hunters - yeah
Druids and rogues
Paladins - cant die and now they have damage too
Everything else

My tank shaman does just fine on elites. I solo’d WC cobrahn runs like 10 times to get my legs.
And that’s before I got a lot of BFD gear. My Feral needed a good chunk of BFD gear before he could safely do the solo farm.

Lets not talk soloing lowbie elites. Who is best at soloing orange elites.
Hunters are the only class that can reliably deal damage to higher level stuff. They can put damage on a 60. Autoshot is basically treated like an ability attack(so no glancing) that cannot be parried or dodged.
Rogues come in at a distant second especially with saber slash.

I mean the answer is always going to be Hunter if the question is generic and open ended. Ranged attacks are simply better for attacking higher level monsters.
If its aoeable Mages.
If its specific bosses possibly Rogues and Druids because you can sneak past all the trash.
I’ve had pretty good results soloing SFK on my Shaman tank, I imagine Paladin is similar.
Warlock is surprisingly good with 10% hit talent and Master channeler. I prefer Haunt but I could see Meta being better for specific mobs.
Priest seems capable with Penance and Homunculi.

Yeah im curious how well could do rogues in this context. Mine is just 14, but with tanky runes is it as great as i think, or eould it miss some healing
1: Mages
2: Hunters
20th: everyone else
Hunter, lock, druid and mage are best. Paladin also great
Hunter pet. Don’t need the hunter really.

Single pulls would probably be hunter, Warlock, or Mage. Multiple mobs in a pull would be Mage.
