I would really like to see someone take rogue soloing to the next level

I soloed a gnome rogue from 1-60 in about 10-11 months. Untwinked and no outside buffs.

I streamed most of it on Twitch. Sqid the soloing rogue.

I've seen an sk solo year on red. I hope this solidifies your decision.

That's pretty impressive.

Leaning towards doing the SK as it may be easier to find a pick up group and also just an easier class tonplay despite it being slower. With that I can than use the sk to farm plat and gear to truly twink the ranger with a fungi and maybe those epics way down the line. Because a decked out ranger sounds like a fun class to just run around with!

rangers eventually get a slow proc weapon which is a pretty huge deal when it comes to soloability

Then again, SKs get FD, which basically makes them 100x better for anything when it comes to solo because you'll eat a lot less CRs

Earthcaller slow is 50%, SK can use a willsapper(if you can GET one that is) for a 35% slow, which will come out about the same if you take into account the differences in mitigation, defense, etc between the two. Go SK, flop around and gank names.

if your goal is to get xp and farm cash/loot

.... with both of these classes you're barking up the wrong tree

Casters (nec/ench/shm) own that aspect of the game. Rangers have their niche but their drawbacks. SKs? yep them too. Of the two ranger will kill faster but SK will be able to kill single mobs in all zones (fear + snare) that rangers may or may not be able to kill.

Both classes are fun.

Neither class is IDEAL.
