Don't make a warrior unless you're planning on raiding.

I have to say that if you're skilled, a rogue is actually much easier to solo than a warrior.

I have leveled a twink warrior and twink rogue solo to 60. And the warrior was substantially easier 50+. Prior to that rogue may have had a slight edge.

On the rogue at lvls 57+ where did you hunt at if I may ask [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]?

I personally do all my leveling in velks 50+. I just take a super afk approach to it. Kill a mob, then afk, then kill a mob. All the mobs in the initial area are non-casters and don't run. As long as you can solo them it's easy exp.

If you can get in frontal backstabs in consistently, I think you'll find that rogues are the better soloers even post 50. This is especially true since they nerfed combat bindwound. Prior to that, I think they were on fairly even ground solo wise.

Even with frontal backstabs there was no competition. Warrior was far superior. On the rogue i could kill crystalline watchers, and shard spiders (i don’t recall if i had success with devourers, i think it was a coin flip). On the warrior i could solo any of the ramp spiders, popped evasive and didn't even have to watch the fight.

I want what this guy is smoking.

Warrior soloing will do circles around a rogue. The one exception I’d say would be when rogues used to be able equip epic at lvl 1 so you’d basically obliterate everything 1-46. 50+ Superior mitigation, discs, and Truncheon will easily out class whatever a rogue is doing. Extra Bonus if you went halfling for hide and sneak pulls

Do you not know how to backstab while fighting stuff from the front? Soloed a rogue to 55 (then went to the hole where the exp was insane) about a year ago. Did a warrior about 2 years ago. Leveling the rogue was so much easier because his damage output with backstab was absurd compared to the warrior.

Sure, you have to work for it but a rogue that's played well will easily out solo a warrior.

Rogue is the idiot's class. Super easy to play, takes no investment, literally one button. I recommend it.
