Rogue...or? Am I just being a masochist?

[lemonpantaloons]

Hi all -- recently returned to playing, haven't played since classic, really.

I used to play a bard but have always loved playing thief-like characters (never played a rogue in classic). I've read that rogues are difficult to solo past 10 but wondered if this was an exaggeration?

I'm a typically casual player so I'm worried I won't have time to find groups to level so I'd like to be at least somewhat self-sufficient! I don't really want to put time into leveling a character that becomes impossible to play at later levels! I was considering a SK as an alternative (may also be painful to solo but at least would be more needed if I needed to find a group)? I'd like to be able to melee and possibly stab things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Any thoughts would be welcome!!!
