Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hey guys

Im torned btw these classes. I will not og further Down the line then rank 13 max!
and I will not raid MC or Beyond goz of work, and other Things.

UD rogue

or Orc/NE hunter(stealth for wpvp)

I like both so any adwise, suggestions too what I should focus on.
Who has most Counters? the most usefull in premades etc?

hunter, if u r not us timezone player

as rogue u will rage each 5 sec after being feared/sheeped/blinded past ur stun/goudge cuz shit delay during eu times ruins quality of pvp

Yes, lag is also a major concern.. While my prime play time is EU houres evening

I can't say for hunter gameplay as I have never played one. But rogue has it's moments and here's some pros/cons:
+wpvp is unique as a rogue, you always get the initiative due to stealth and no class wins you by default
+control is abundant (2 stuns, gouge, blind, imp.sap)
+you can most of the times bail out with vanish and wait for a better opportunity
+when you want to hit, you hit HARD
-with pre-MC gear (mainly weapons being the concern here) your main burst dmg comes from Eviscerate = boring
-outside of stealth and without CDs you're VERY squishy. Rogue gameplay revolves around CDs.
-many RNG-elements can really fuck you up (poison slow not proccing, sap breaking after 4 seconds etc)
-BG's are hard as a rogue, because your role slides from pure dmg to more of an harrasser (dmg is still important though), you're dependant of your CD's and there's usually alot of aoe's flying around making openers hard to get on your terms.

BUT all of the forementioned cons can be managed with skill, mind you.
Happy gaming, whatever you choose!

Thank you for the response so far, gear do concern me so that was insightfull

Both are very dependent on their weapons. Considering that you're not aiming for rank 14 or raidgear you might want to consider a caster class as they can manage without weapons and supplement it with armor stats.

Also note that as a rogue you will have the choice who to engage -> you can skip people that have higher gearlvl than you.

Can anyone who is playing a hunter on Nost comment on this thread please? How is it with the pvp lag etc etc

Hunter=OP....

Really? I have not really heard about this for vanilla era hunters. Rogues are usually considered OP because they can stun lock without diminishing returns.
