mage vs warlock..

solo warlock is best I think cause of fear

in a group its like comparing a wizard to a sorc, neither is "best"

 

"mage"

honest

 

Best?

Depends on the player/target more than the class. Pick the one you'd have most fun playing, or both!


Tip: Class balance will always happen.

 

Its the player that makes out the class, not the class
In most cases anyways. Wouldnt go around saying which and which class are best ~~

 

so mages poly doesnt count for anything?

hm

 

lol, what game are you playing?

 

I guess both perform well and have loads of nice flashy spells and stuff, but warlocks will be annoying to play until soulshards are stackable or farmable from player targets.

 

I find mage deals more damage and is easier to solo with but maybe that is my playing style

 

agleed, sorc is clearly > wizard

mage and warlock are very different though, i have played warlock to level 10 and found it fun, fear and succubus charm later on are good things going for warlock - I think of them more as tactical damage dealers than mages who are very focused on immediate damage i.e. instas, mages also have lots of useful tools like their roots and the now nerfed but still useful poly

try them both, they are both good classes and are both good in pvp - i would play warlock though

 

hardly tbh, poly is nothing compared to fear.

Poly - CC that breaks when damaged.

Fear - basically like Fz, they run around like a headless chicken, you beat them down.

So no, it doesnt, Poly 1v1 is an escape tool, nothing more.

 

poly lasts longer though? so you can treat it as a mezz

 

they nerfed poly to 15 secs :X

 

they nerfed fear at the same time

 

still, one is 15sec of free attacks, the other isnt.

 

the difference being if a mage had that he would be far too overpowered, considering he could just do arcane missles for 3000 dmg over that time

 

I did WC twice today (once for the quest and the second time to help some friends out) without Poly we would have been fucked even with a warlock in the group.

 

Ye, Fear not all that good for group PvE situations (instances etc) Only ends up with feared mob calling for help and crap
