| i have a lv 55 mage. i chose mage over priest and warlock which i was originally considering.
warlocks are very difficult to control if your new to the game. a lot of warlock i;ve partied with/ observed tend to let their pet/ minion/ whatever you call it to run rampant. ive had to do some pretty quick casting to save a few. also warlocks tend to either prioritise a spell caster class or... a kennelr controlling a list of powerful pets. either way you gain none of the precision of a hunter (my boyfriend plays a hunter with me); or your a 2nd rate caster. DoTs yeah they're useful and warlocks are good in pvp IF played right. their AoEs tho unlike a mage's seem to cause more harm than good but it depends on a player. warlocks also seem to be easy prey if your on a pvp server (you roll a pve server - god help you); plus they have long and excruiating quests to get mounts etc. ive been known to sell items they need at extortionate prices as i know there will always be a market (robes of arcana etc)
my next character's going to be a shadow priest. if you wanna pure healer/ tank paladin is the way to go but they are a you know what to level. shadow priests are good for pve as backup healers and have some good abilities like psyhich scream and shadow form.
for dps i wouldnt recommend a rogue; tbh they abiliy to sneak around one target and wait is annoying. my frost mage is amongst the best in terms of pvp, pve and instances. they dont have the raw dps of a fire mage but i rarely run out of mana plus the enemy never reachs you if you play it right. use it with ice block and ice barrier occupanied by frost snap - your set.
hunters are fantastic as they can sap mana from spell casters, have traps and can train any pet that is named a beast. training anything less than an elite (aside to farm new skills) is a waste of time - your an experienced hunter you want an elite plus they look better generally  |
