Hi!
I’m playing as a Fury Warrior, but I want to make an alt, at Horde. I’m playing on Argent Dawn, so I’m interested in lore, storyes, achivements, etc. I can’t decide what class. I mean I like more of them, so I decided to ask you: What is the best class for soloing?
When I say “solo”, I refer if the class have self sustain, such a Paladin for example.
I was thinking to a Enhancement Shaman, is it good for soloing?
I want my class being DPS, not a Tank.
I would suggest either shaman or warlock.
Rogue, mage or warlock are classes I’d choose. Rogue’s stealth is easily one of the most handy abilities in the game as you can choose your fights or skip them entirely. Mages with their versatilty in their teleportation spells are good too. Warlock can spam shadow bolts and let their pet do the work really.
Enh Shaman felt a bit squishy when I levelled it, as did outlaw rogue.
Hunter (Surv/BM) or Retridin are good choices. Hunter can spec camo for intermittent stealth.
Or just any tank spec, honestly. They’ll never die.

Demon hunter, perhaps? You get back a good chunk of health every time you kill something, so you rarely require a pause in-between fights, and you can pull many mobs at once. You can also move around really quickly, and reach places many other classes can not. The maneuverability is particularly nice for doing legacy content like old raids or dungeons.

Druid is neat. Feral gets you through everything. Otherwise DK is pretty much immortal.

If you’re going for speed and versatility, definitely hunter. You have your own tank that you can heal, movement speed skills, movement speed talents, stealth, range, mobility for days, aggro reset, leap (disengage), instant aoe clear for old raids and since it’s a pure DPS class you’re always going to have at least one relevant spec for current content in every expac/patch.
Edit: Also the weapon versatility of hunters means you can unlock a ton of weapon skins in farm raid runs.
Edit 2: Shamans are not at the absolute bottom when it comes to soloing… But they’re close. You don’t have the defenses of a plate class, you don’t have a pet to tank for you (aside from the long cd earth elemental), you don’t have the built in slows of frost mage and you don’t have the CC of a rogue or the defensive tools of paladin. You have a self heal that doesn’t really heal all that much and you can cast it about 3-4 times before you’re out of mana, after which you can spam earthgrab/toss totems and hope you don’t die. Personally I found shaman underwhelming for solo content compared to beasts like hunter, warlock, paladin, death knight.

Not really until you reach higher levels.
And at end game its gear heavy and ofcourse the right build is key.
paladins can be pretty hard to kill in solo content, I recommend one
shamans can be good solo but I feel they lack the same damage reduction and self sustain, likewise the rogue is at a disadvantage in long drawn out fights against stronger enemies
fire mages with good enough gear can also be pretty solid since they are super mobil
hunters and warlocks have their pets, giving them ample solo ability against enemies which would normally call for a group to deal with
however between the two, the hunters companion is the better, voidwalkers have betrayed me one to many times, for me to recommend them.
I ultimately recommend a paladin, either dps or tank spec
a tactical use of bubbles and self heal will allow you to sustain yourself in fights few other classes can win solo.

I’d say hunter, yes i maybe biased here, but we do have AoE and ST, and out own tanks, and FEIGN DEATH MASTER RACE
warlock warlock warlock warlock warlock warlock nothing even comes close to it. destro in PVE and PVP and farm everything that isn’t on fire with fire.
Dh, warlock, hunter…maybe a tank/druid. Wouldn’t suggest much else unless you’re willing to party up…oh did i mention DH yet? well thats a very solid, numbing choice.
If you’re into melee classes (and you seem to be), demon hunter definitely comes to mind. High mobility, good healing and solid damage output.

until your voidwalker betrayes you and refuse to aggro the two adds that decide you are the better target.
Demonology warlock using felguard which tanks and requires far less keeping alive than the voidwalker which is a bit squishy , it is also a lot of fun to solo with as you summon so many pets, or hunter which is a fast solo class and nice and mobile but a little less fun than warlock imo.
Demon Hunter is the best, probably. Great cleave/AoE, tons of self healing from damage and killing stuff, a lot of mobility, gliding, no mana.

if you want to do decent damage and just be literally incapable of dying, consider a retri paladin.
Demon hunter, there’s no competition like not even remotely close.
You have incredibly high self sustain through passive leech, they are consistently the best at soloing world / old content.
