Been trying out a few classes and I’ve got now this 25 Warlock and a 30 Warrior. I’m torn about which to main until 60. Was hoping i could get nudged in a direction from the fine folks here.
Warrior is fun because I like to hit things with weapons, and tanking, but leveling is a bit of a drag.
Warlock due to variety of spells, pets and utility. As soon as pet is down, i fall quickly after though.
Realm is Azuresong btw
Go with Warlock.
Warrior fun if no brain, warlock fun if you like playing with tools.
warrior is a bad start, they require a ton of gold to be useful. especially this late into the game.
your warlock will melts faces just by being a warlock, and your income is much greater.
It depends on what your long term goals are.
If you’re a more casual raider then I’d go with warrior since you have far more gear options and you don’t need a few absolutely essential items to actually scale up.
Warlocks are a long term investment where you absolutely need an item like Neltharion’s Tear to open up other item options and scale up properly to be competitive with mages/melee DPS in raids. It really sucks waiting on a really rare trinket drop that some guilds might only see once every 3 months and that every mage will want too.
A person could say the same thing about Edgemaster’s but there are other things that give +weapon skill like racials and weapons like Maladath for warriors. Warriors are the best scaling class in the game regardless of whether they get an edgemaster’s or not.
I’m definitely more casual. I’ve also never hit lvl 60 before so I just want to make sure I’m putting in the effort where I need to.
Go with warlock 100%. Warrior is not a great first max level toon to have…especially if you haven’t participated in end-game before (not knocking you; end-game warrior life is just…well…really extra).
Warlocks are going to start scaling better, they have some viable farms, and are fun in PvP. This will allow you flesh out every aspect of the game.
Realistically…you will be caught up by the time Naxx releases (if you put the time in that is)…which only gives you 1 phase until TBC. The reason I bring this up is if they decide to do character copies into TBC—warlocks just absolutely dominated in that expansion…you will be happy with them.
Umm… What?
That’s completely wrong. Warriors are the ones that require the most investment and dedication. There’s much more competition, much more consumables to farm, far more expensive BiS gear to buy like Lionheart Helm and Edgmasters Handguards.
Warlock is both less expensive and easier to farm gold with. And you absolutely do not need a nelths tear.
Yeah that’s definitely backwards.
Do you like to have gold?
If yes - Warlock. No question.
If no - Warrior and warlock do you can spend everything your warlock makes on your warrior.
I have the same problem-have a 31 of each. I maxed a decade ago with a warrior and started it when I came back bc it’s what I knew but tried the lock and like it as well. Not sure which to take to 60 don’t have time for both.
If you already did warrior, then hey do warlock this time. New class, new role, new experience of the game.
But really the question always comes down to who are you? Are you a charge in smash and grab player? Or are you a kite, dot, whittle and burn player? Which is fun? Which makes you log in? Which is still fun even as you grind honor, gold, or epics?
Edit: but seriously if you are thinking of doing endgame as a warrior, you probably need a farming alt.
You don’t need edgemaster’s on a warrior and you clearly don’t play warlock either since you have no idea what I’m even talking about.
Warriors are the highest DPS class from phase 1-5 yes they must be so “hard to gear” and yes you do absolutely need a Neltharion’s Tear on a warlock unless you plan on still wearing at least some bloodvine into Naxx.
You shouldn’t make generalizations of classes you clearly don’t play 
As a matter of fact I do have a 60 warlock.
I don’t. Please explain.
He probably means…you more than likely won’t parse orange/pink without the tear (which isn’t even true)…
Which I doubt the OP is worried about considering he stated he plays casually and has never level capped a toon before.
Ok? How is that relevant?
They’re still more expensive and harder to farm gold with. They still are far more competitive since everyone and their mother wants to play them. And even more so in the coming phases where we’re likely to see more mages and less warriors in raid comps.
Warlocks, on the other hand, require less expensive purchased gear, less expensive consumes, are easier to farm gold with and are not as competitive in raids. And they don’t need neltharions tear any more than warriors need edgies. It’s a BiS item, sure. But you don’t need it.
You have absolutely zero idea of what you’re talking about SMH 
This is quite funny I’m not even gonna lie
lmaooo what the hell u talkin bout
Do you? You seem incapable of explaining why nelths tear is required to have as a warlock.
Mind explaining or are you just going to keep deflecting?
You can get like 9%+ in literally all ZG gear. Not sure why nelths tear is essential.
Been playing both as alts so I don’t have the greatest gear yet, but here is my impression of it.
Warrior is fantastic if you have a good, no, great healer to play with or you are in a good guild and PvE. Warriors can be spectacular raid DPS, but the consumables are like any melee very expensive.
Warlock is PvE side not as good, and very simplistic, but where it lacks in raid it’s just amazing in PvP, it’s easily one of the top classes for PvP, especially if you are solo, but don’t expect to live long when you get zug zug’d by 3 warriors, no one survives that. If you have a decent disc priest buddy affliction is very strong.
