Is it actually impossible to start with a difficult class as a new player?

No, any class is doable as a new player, it all boils down to how much downtime your willing to put up with. Any class can solo to 60, again it all depends on how much downtime you can tolerate.

Indeed. Soloing a self found Rogue to 60 mostly requires some game knowledge on which easy single spawn mobs can be camped by a rogue, and at what levels you can get upgrades for your weapons.

It's just going to take significantly longer than solo leveling a Necromancer. At least 2-4x longer. That's why a lot of people don't end up self found soloing a Rogue to 60. It isn't challenging if you know what to do, it's just tedious.
