I am having an issue trying to decide which class to main in Shadowlands. I dont have much time to play anymore so I want to focus on one class for raiding. I also like to solo stuff, mount farm, rep grind and grind for transmog. Might try PvP this expansion as well. Im trying to decide between a Hunter, DK or a Warrior.
I enjoy playing a Hunter. I like collecting pets. I like all 3 specs, Survival is one of my favorite DPS specs in the game, just sucks people dont want to take one in for raids. I enjoy soloing with my Hunter as well.
I enjoy playing a DK. I use to main one back in MoP when I first started playing the game. I love the class fantasy of it. I like that it has a tank offspec for when I want to solo stuff. Also enjoy playing all 3 specs, Unholy is my other favorite DPS spec in the game.
I also enjoy playing a Warrior, though only Prot and Fury. Never really cared for Arms. I enjoy tanking with Prot. Fury is fast and a lot of fun, and I really like the self sustain on it. Prot is my favorite tank spec in the game.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I say go Hunter. Hunter does everything you want to do. Its great for soloing content, they are good in raids, and Survival is good in PvP.

This is coming from a DK main since wrath, we have some times where we are flat out garbage, hunter is basically always good or great

For everything you listed I’d probably go Death Knight, but I’m also biased because I main one so I do those with him. And you didn’t really list any negatives on your own written Death Knight section, but did for the other two.
Honestly, Imo it’d be between Death Knight and Warrior since they both have nice self sustain and pretty straight forward if you want to try to learn PvP.

Warrior.
But I have like 5 warriors, so I’m biased.

I might be a bit biased towards DK since it was my first main when I started the game. Has a special place in my heart
lol
I heard Arms is kinda the PvP spec for Warrior and Ive never really gotten into Arms.
I’d say you do you? Definitely Hunter or Warrior though regardless, both have a decent enough ability tray with utility though of the three Hunter has the least healing safety net built in to the class, nothing a spirit beast can’t help though.
Ive been a ret main for many years. I had switched to DK. I am maining a hunter for SL if my group ends up playing and the game is ok after launch.
MM hunter will be good for the raid for SL launch. Other specs not so much, but all of this is subject to change.
Frost DK is strong for the raid, Unholy right behind it if I’m understanding most tier lists correctly. They will be pretty welcome for anti-magic zone alone, but have other good stuff.
Warrior will mostly be brought for the raid buff if you don’t have another warrior/tank warrior (and most guilds won’t have a warrior tank imo). Arms seems pretty bad in raids and S-tier in arena, Fury is above average for PvE but terrible in arena.
As for non-raid stuff, I hear Blood DK is really fun for when you need to tank. Prot warrior seems mobile but problematic unless tuning switches things up.
I’d recommend the class where you enjoy the most specs in case tuning destroys something. Be aware that changing covenants/conduits on a single character seems like it will be annoying.
Either DK or Hunter should be great. I’d only recommend warrior if they get some help before release, which I think is unlikely right now.
Hunter is probably best overall if you are truly okay playing either DK or Hunter. 3 damage specs that you enjoy, ranged in a melee-harsh expansion (at least the first tier of stuff), strong in all the ways you listed.
Thank you for the info. I am leaning more towards DK now. Its a tight race between Hunter and DK haha
