Composition for 80-85

[luxlunae]

I don't have a ton of free time so when I get my last baby group to 60 most of the raf toons are going to be orphans stranded there for the forseeable future.

My main mixed team, though, is at 75 and is prot pally, holy priest, arcane mage, frost mage, boomkin

I would kind of like to swap out one of the mages for my existing level 80 warlock at 80, would that be a terrible idea? I've always loved warlocks but the dual mages have been very kind to me for 75 levels.

My highest team is 77. I have several teams though and i sorely miss having a warlock if i do an instance on a team that doesnt have one. Soulstones are great to have in instances. Plus i sometimes get some weird error where one of my team members cannot use a mage portal created by a mage in my own group. When is happens i can just summon the last one there. Plus locks in my groups always seem to do better dps than the mages.

Finally, i think locks have some kind of crit or damage buff they can cast on other people at higher levels. I would switch out a mage for the lock.

Mages and Warlocks are fairly interchangeable.

Desto/Frost offer replenishment.
Warlocks get you bonus spell damage.

Mages have food/water and portals, and mage Heroism/Bloodlust.
Warlocks have health cookies, soul stones, summoning and water breathing, plus whatever pet perk you want to have.

Mages can polymorph humanoids and beasts.
Warlocks can seduce humanoids, banish elementals/demons and play with fear.

Damage is close enough that neither is that far ahead/behind.
