The Daily Quest: The mage vs. warlock battle

May 4th 2010 at 10:00PM
We have a friendly little rivalry going on here at WoW.com between warlock Dominic Hobbs, writer of Blood Pact, and mage Christian Belt, writer of Arcane Brilliance. They even took their viewpoints to each other's columns, with hilarious results. But this battle between mages and warlocks transcends our class experts and wages on in the blogosphere.
- Felfire is hosting the Official Murder a Mage Contest, which ends May 16.
- The Save a Soul TODAY contest on Gnomeageddon ends May 18.
- Destructive Reach explains why Saresa absolutely adores mages.
- Murloc Parliament weighs in on the mage vs. 'lock debate by interviewing caster classes.
- The Lazy Sniper says shadow priests don't care.

I know you don't have time now Christian, but when you do, roll a lock and show them how its done!

He's joining us next week. Polls for his character will be up on Friday.
Mr. Tastix May 4th 2010 11:38PM
Hah! He just couldn't resist, could he?
Why? Because warlocks own mages, that's why!

Not entirely sure why I was downrated, I did respect and state that it was said he didn't have the time...
Anyways, you've just made my night Robin! Thats fantastic news! My mage is my main but I'll be rolling a lock to show my support for Belt!!!

Friendly rivalry? I think not!

You're all wrong.
The moonkin is clearly superior.
And when you hug us, we're like a great big stuffed animal! Awwww.
Mr. Tastix May 4th 2010 11:43PM
Screw you! Go Elemental Shamans!

Pffft, nothing that wears leather is a *real* caster.

Moonkin: Starfall, Passive buffs, FEATHERS, Hooting sound, AWESOME FREAKIN DANCE.
Elemental shaman: Chain Lightning (what, you can't move while you do this? LAME), Totems (meh), NO FEATHERS, QQ sound, can barely walk, let alone dance.
There seems to be no question here. Moonkin FTW.

...but but but the sounds you make when you take a hit. O_O
In pvp I leave moonkins alone cuz I don't wanna hear that. >_> Sounds so painful. :(

I love both my mage and my lock, and I leveled them at *roughly* the same time. (My mage is 76 ATM and my warlock is 80.)

My first character was a mage, and my wife's first was a lock. Now, I have more locks and she has more mages. And we haven't killed each other (yet).

I will be rolling a wargon lock when the expansion rolls out. I'm currently have an 80 mage, 71 priest and a 72 warrior. Can't wait to pass the BOA's to the lock.

I like how its referred to as a battle, yet the mages have such an overwhelming tactical and strategical advantage the only reason warlocks are still a class is that mages require targets to practice wanding on.

After consulting many mathematical experts, i have deduced the accurate mathematical formula:
Warlocks > Mages
You know its true.

You didn't show your work... :P
