For strictly PvP in P3; Mage or Warlock?

Which do you feel will be better? I know it’s hard to say as we don’t know everything about the new phase yet but from what we currently know what are you opinions?

I wish we knew more about Fel Guard because it may be huge for PvP.

So what are your opinions on these 2 classes for PvP? Generally both are always decent but which would you roll (first)

Thanks

Warlock 1000 times.
I suck so much with my mage, always dying. Not sure why i bothered lvling it.
Warlock is always pure fun for me. Love the different trees and abilities.

I agree warlock is fun af but that mage heal is crazy and deep freeze <3

Such a hard choice. Thing is my mage is gnome my warlock gnome or Orc.

Mage Master class for life. Oh I need to get to ironforge and I am in the Barrens. PORTAL AWAY. Oh I need to get to niche spot on the map with no close locations or don’t have FP? /who zone /whisper joe “Hey mind putting your sleeping bag down?” Tip 1g. Boom there.

Them adding the sleeping bag was hilarious for traveling lol.

For pvp though it depends on your playstyle. Mage is much more of a class cannon and you have to be much more aware of your surroundings. But its a lot of fun and unlike warlock has much easier time getting out of situations.

They also havent given warlocks/hunters a 6th bag slot for quivers/soul shards yet so screw that. I like the feeling of getting soulshards or buying ammo but hate the bag management.

mage 100%… you can just AOE the altar. STV is the only pvp in the game right now

In my Opinion

The most OP class will be Mage. Mages getting Deep Freeze and Displacement is gonnna be soooo massively overpowered.

No Melee class will be able to touch them and they will be able to effectively CC+Burst down any other class with ease as well.

They will have:
Blink= the best mobility+Stun removal
Displacement = Allows them to blink back (basically counters warriors, rogues)
Deep Freeze = Best caster Stun (5 Seconds!!!) on a 30 Sec CD…
Poly = Spammable CC
Frost Nova = Best AoE Root Ability
Mana Shield+Ice Barrier = Two Barriers for DMG Absorption
Counterspell = 10 Sec Spell School Lockout
Chronostatic Preservation = A HEALING SPELL on a class with a spammable CC and which doesn’t require a form drop (like boomkin or spriest)

Warlock will definitely be strong but I just think the Rune flexibility and the inherent strength of the Mage Talent tree (especially frost), is just gonna make them unstoppable in P3

I feel like mages are so damn squishy in pvp.

They are. The point of a mage is a glass cannon.

Gonna vouch for warlock here

Phase 3 we are going to unlock more talents that start to complete our builds. (Like instant corruption for soul link, or getting nightfall with ruin). Adding some potentially powerful rune options like crittable dots and the felguard pet, an already busted pvp class will become even more busted.

And most importantly death coil mmmmmmm

Warlock. There is never any doubt in my mind. They could strip Locks of all their offense spells and I would still say: Warlock. Why?

One word, one word that has caused so many of us to throw our mice at the wall…

FEAR

It will never not be funny to watch someone get feared into mobs and die.
It will never not be funny to watch someone get feared off LM’s cliff in AB.


It will never not be funny to watch Fear get resisted and the Warlock suddenly have to do something other than “/lol”; as they panic and run-jump around while repeatedly rebuff Demon Armor – clearly they are “fat fingering” keys in their panic.

Warlock obviously, you can get instant corruption with soul link lets go!

Dot, heal, tank like a beast. Spam fear, cause chaos and terror across the battleground.
