Well after two hrs of leveling and 6 hrs trying to beat hogger on 4 different classes I have finally found one class that is capable of soloing him at level 9. The paladin is the only class that is capable, without twink gear and lots of pots, of defeating hogger at level 9. I tried with a warrior, priest, rogue and paladin and the only one I was able to defeat Hogger with was the paladin. My friend killed hogger with his priest and pots and twink gear but that wasn't the point of the playing. The average level 9 can't kill hogger, it is frustrating beyond believe and requires at least two people.

so what are your thoughts about paladins being the only class that can solo hogger at lvl 9? what sort of reflection on class balance as a whole does it give?

Well looking back at it, all classes up to about lvl 15 or so are overpowered compared to the mobs of the same lvl, it is hard to find an instance like this where a person can be stumped repeatedly. Paladins as a whole i would say have the highest survivability if spec'd correctly and geared well. Unfortunately this is a flaw that blizzard not only has let go since the beginning but continue to....well in short they continue to overpower the class.
