![]() ![]() ![]() It takes 1 CGS to use a mana gem, and 2 to lifetap/healthstone. Yes, warlocks have to lifetap, but to counter that, you get healthstones. The amount it was boosted by will drop each level till you get to 90 now. ![]() Mage mana regen was boosted by a LOT a few days ago to cope with the fact that arcane couldnt play without the lvl 90 talent because the mana regen sucked so much. Edited Septemby Beebaīe wary of mage mana regen as it is on live at the minute as its askew. While leveling the mage I tried frost for the water pet but it did not compare to the warlock variety in the least. They not only did some damage but held aggro for me while I DOT the mobs to death. You need to master the art of keeping enemies at range, much like a hunter, as well as moving the least for being able ot cast everything in your arsenal.įor leveling, I liked the variety of warlock minions. I haven't put the warlock through any heroics since the patch but I hope the mana usage and regen is better. That being said I still like my warlock and will continue to play both toons into this next expansion but overall mages seem to hold their own better. Mages have Evocation and mana gems and can maintain themselves. With the warlock it was a lot of life tapping during boss encounters to keep mana, which made it harder on healers, at times. In both cases mana has never been an issue for the mage and the damage to groups is hard-hitting. Overall, I prefered the mage before the 5.04 patch and really prefer it now. My mage spec is fire and the warlock is affliction. Both do bring things useful to a group and do well alone for questing. I have both classes and raided with both. If you had to choose between the two, I think the choice is clear. Warlocks bring a battle ressurection (Soulstone), amazing Healthstones, a new portal system to help raid members mobility, and 5% extra magical damage on enemies brought only by other Warlocks, Assassination Rogues, or a Hunter pet that no Hunters like to use. Mages bring Timewarp, which can also be supplied by Shaman's Bloodlust. Unfortunately, Destruction isn't performing as well as most other classes at the moment, but that's likely because Affliction is at the top. You'll make Death Knight's Army of the Dead look like a Mage spell.ĭestruction Warlocks play similarly to a Fire Mage, but way cooler with the incredible Chaos Bolt! Here again, you'll use Grimoire of Sacrifice to empower yourself as you quickly and powerfully burn your opponent's life away by using hard hitting fire spells to charge up the use of Chaos Bolt. With your cooldowns, you can have 5 Imps, 2 Felguards, and a Doomguard out at the same time. Imps, Felguards, Infernals, and Doomguards will be at your calling while you turn into a powerful demon to slash at your foes and perform some of the highest AoE capabilities in the game. You can choose between a Shield Wall type ability, an interrupt, or a magic dispel! Affliction feels very fun to play and the learning curve is nowhere the level it used to be.ĭemonology Warlocks bring the fun of turning into an Illidan look-alike and using powerful demons to take down your foes with very little, if any, discrimination. As Affliction, you'll take Grimoire of Sacrifice, sacrifice your pet, and do incredible damage alone while gaining an ability of one of your pets. Multi-dotting is an exciting thing to do in raids and dungeons rather than Multi-shotting or using Blizzard. Affliction is currently simulating at the top of the charts over every other class due to it's easily sustained rotation, quick burst, and high multi-target DPS capabilities. Each Warlock offers a different playstyle, and oddly enough, you don't even have to play with a pet anymore (it's actually beneficial to not use a pet!)Īffliction is all about draining your opponent's soul and empowering yourself to slowly, yet powerfully, wittle away at the strongest foe's health. The age-old tale is anything a Mage can do, a Warlock can do better. Warlocks offer the versatility of raid buffs, raid utility, and are just straight up cooler than their inferior step-sister, the Mage. Vlad offers a Mage's side, but I'm here to vouch for the vastly superior Warlock. ![]()
