39 twink mage or lock

[Atotem]

What are the pros and cons of each of these classes?

What would be a decent mage armory build?

How about a warlock build?



Would a SoJ with a +40 spell dmg on it be the best weapon for each class?



How about talents?

For a mage, would fire or arcane be best?

For a warlock, would aff or desto be good?



Thanks,

Atotem.

I find good mages are the biggest pain in the ***. Warlocks are kinda meh.

I was headed toward making a mage. I have a level 80 mage that I pvp with and it's a blast.



Here's my frost mage [char=Nathrezim]Quandary[/char].

Locks are easy to kill but if I don't have food I generally die afterwards

keep in mind I'm an UD rogue so I do have two fear trinks basically..

SL locks are not easy to kill. just FYI





anyways,



locks are fun to play if you like micro-management. you have to control your pet's abilities, as well as keep dots on people while keeping some people CC'd and keeping your hp/mana up while doing all of this.



mages are more fun to play if you like to have a versatile caster. if you're fire, you have plenty of spells to choose from, and you have to use each at the right time. the main abilities of a fire mage are scorch, arcane missles, frost nova, blast wave, fireblast, blink, and polymorph. there's plenty more, though.



certainly a skilled mage is a pain in the ass, but a decent or bad mage isn't anything to worry about. warlocks don't have as much of a difference between skilled and bad ones, but the skilled ones can still be a pain in the ass.

i had a lot more fun with my mage than with my lock.

besides the huge amount of fun gained, mages can FC. to switch into another role adds a lot of fun after some weeks.

SoJ with soulfrost is best for a lock

SoJ with sunfire for an all out dmg firemage. (40SP if you like to change speccs a lot or make heavy use of CC/frost even if you are fire specced)



arcane to FC, frost to CC/dps, fire is for pure dmg. all viable and funny speccs.

affliction > soul link > destro (imo...it is all about playstyle, but destro is not viable)

 

[Atotem]

Ty all for your help. I'll just keep my SoJ with 40 spell power on it. I bought a +38 arcance staff that ahd +sunfire on it yesterday for 50g so I hope that will come in handy in the future.

I mow ppl on my lock, its so much fun....well till you get a rogue on you, I dunno people say they get bored playing a lock, I have been playing mine for 3 years now and still enjoy it.

locks are awesome. i love the control and damage they put out. CoE, fear can take a team off ur teams fc. and your sets of dots ruin people. gotta love using the sl glyph and getting SL dealing 75 damage per tick and healing you for 90+
