Mage Or Warlock. I chose warlock after a little while. They all play relatively differently so that helps keep things fresh. In the end it doesn’t make that much difference. They can cast spells because someone (or something) else has given them the ability, and they may grow in power by. Sure you can dance circles around ret paladins and possibly rogues, but pretty much everything else will roll over you, and don't even think about trying to beat hunters and warlocks, these guys hardcounter you so bad it's not even funny. It comes down to fun at the end of the day though. They have better buffs (arcane intellect > blood pact). I remember trying both mage and warlock out in vanilla. Battle mage is more fun and is better when you have a run with crappy drops. For warlock, i like destro and afflic. A magician or learned person. Warlocks might have the ability to keep enemies from running in fear.but again, mages have frost nova. Well, you could go warlock and it would also be a reference charon, the ferryman at the river styx. Mage will always be in top 3 dpses endgame, while warlock wont. I think mages are more for big numbers and warlocks are for lots of smaller numbers.

They all play relatively differently so that helps keep things fresh. If locks brings you more fun, go for it, he is still viable. Mages can decurse, make water, and at higher levels give a portal at the end of the instance. Battle mage can be better if you only have two wands (start and old man wands) That doesnt mean he is unplayable. While i really like frost mages for the amount of aoe they provide as well as their mobility, i like the single target damage/boss damage they do with all the dots and chaos bolt spam for destro. If the answer is yes, then go for a warlock.
Frost Is Fun, Fire Is Close Too, While Arcane Seems Quite Boring To Me.
In terms of competitiveness in a pve scenario, i think lock is better, except in m+. The rotations is fairly straight forward for the most part. Warlock gets quests to learn how to summon and control beings from the twisting nether.
But Cant Really Decide On What Since The Guild Im In Is A 10Man Raiding Guild With None Of These Classes.
The warlock is more work, for sure, but is more likely to win fights with lots of aggro that you don't think you're going to survive. Mages on the other hand hanve plenty of defensive and offensive cds, which makes it a lot of fun. In the end it doesn’t make that much difference.
1040.0 Points Of Dark Damage On The Enemy.
If locks brings you more fun, go for it, he is still viable. Warlock is far more powerful and can take better advantage of rng drops (gear). For 3.1 all pve warlock specs will bring more dps than any mage spec and warlocks also bring greater raid utility.
Hi So Im Currently In The Process To Boost Up Another Alt And Im Picking Between Mage (Fire/Frost) Or Warlock (Affliction).
Mages can decurse, make water, and at higher levels give a portal at the end of the instance. But i still can't decide!music used: Whiplash (pet ability) now causes enemies to take 1% increased damage from the succubus or incubus each time it.
Mages Are Clearly Better In Arenas Where All Three Warlock Specs Struggle.
It now also has a chance to break on damage taken, rather than always breaking on the first instance of damage. Retroxgamer0 9 years ago #2.

Fire Is A Bit More Complex Then The Others At The Moment, But Isn't Very Difficult Either Way.
Warlocks however, are somewhat stronger then mages, if the player knows how to set controls on rotation dots to do major damage. Warlock pet ability changes in patch 9.2. What do you enjoy playing the most?
Do You Want To Manage A Pet?
And both can aoe dps.but mages are safer with frost nova. Aff and destro and middling, and demo does better but has an awkward and imo rather unfun priority. It comes down to fun at the end of the day though.
In The End Warlock For Max/Min If You Have A Lot Of Wands And/Or Found Good Weapons.
