Legion main: Assassination rogue or Retaliation paladin?

[stevan021]

I'm having a tought time deciding between these two specs. Plan to do mythic raiding.

Rogues:

LIKE: They have a nice "ninja feel", a low apm (I really hate spammy speccs) and good single target damage. They usually do amazing damage and have insane survivability in raids. Also it feels really easy and fluid to play which is a plus.

DISLIKE: Assassination might suck balls in raiding and that is my primary focus. Abilities don't hit hard instantly, they are dots.


Paladins:

LIKE: They hit really really hard on some of the abilities- I like seeing huge numbers. They look amazing in transmogs even though I'm not into the "warrior of light" theme much. They are probably better when you're questing alone and run into a rare/elite mob.

DISLIKE: Retribution might do low-end DPS as it's a hybrid and then I would feel kinda bad since I like being able to top the meters. Not sure how viable it is gonna be if I wanna PvP for fun from time to time. Low end mobility and not as much raid durability while maintaining DPS as rogue. Might be asked to tank/heal.

Any comment you add to this could help me decide so please don't hesitate

Guy1:"Why don't you play sub/outlaw"?
Me: "I just don't like the spammy playstyle of sub much, or the randomness and weird half-range thing that outlaw has going on.

Gu2:"Go rogue for stabby stabby, paladin for Hulk smash"
Me:"..."

ret most likely will be a bench warmer

Well I'm going rogue since most of the people told me so, also had this same thread in the rogue section

Very few Paladins here (or indeed anywhere) are going to try to convince you Ret in Legion is the better option here. Speaks volumes that the opposite is true in the Rogue forum really...
