No. You just talked a lot. Just tell him the best class so he can pwn noobs and make the rogues bleed from their anus.

Play the warlock. They now have a demon that vaguely resembles a sporebat. Go with that and have fun!

PLAY THEM BOTH AND PLAY THE ONE YOU LIKE BETTER.

I enjoy playing both Mage and Warlock. Fact is I enjoy playing all classes. I find it best to swap often so you can get two different type of fun. Start a Rogue, Hunter, Tank and Healer. Learn how every class plays and you'll play all classed better.

This... BTW, mage pretty much blows stuff up in PVE and has survivability in PVP because of the control and escape mechanisms. Mage also has convenience of summoned food/water and teleport/portals. Lock has more variation in playstyle from the specs. PVP is more of a challenge but you can still do well.

Bottom line both can do well, so it comes down to your personal preferences. Just beware that DPS only classes face long dungeon finder queues later on, so unless you have a healer or tank friend, you might consider leveling again as a hybrid class and check out all of the new Azeroth content that has been added/revamped.

Finally, I wouldn't get too concerned about which is more powerful or which is gimp, because another big patch is coming up soon, and more than likely all classes will be changed.

gutter, you are acting like a jerk.

Grow up mate.

As if having an "unpopular opinion" is new to me, or bothers me in the slightest.

I will not change my mind, as the OP isn't even listening to any suggestions made, which bolsters my position every time.

I had quit before Cata as well. I came back and decided my druid would be the first to 85, since he was heals. After getting him to 83, I decided I would rather play my DK. After getting HIM to 83, I decided my warlock would be the first 85 after all. Then, I got bored with him at 82.

So my first one to 85? A mage. A mage that was level 22 when Cata launched.

My point is this: it's not a question I would ask, because I would just play them all and decide for myself. No one can tell me what I will have the most fun playing. However, if you haven't played in a while, the mechanics have changed substantially.

I had 5 80's when Cata launched and had absolutely ZERO clue on which one I wanted to level first. And my first 85 turned out to be the one I was sure would probably never even reach 85 at all. So it is possible to not have purchased your account AND still not know which to level first. Hell, even if he did purchase his account somewhere..... who cares?

Play them both for a while. Keep playing the one you have more fun with. Very simple.
