PvP - 4x Mages or 4x Locks?

[heyaz]

Well, really depends on how you want to play them I guess. There are advantages and disadvantages of both. If you are thinking warlocks because of the dots, be aware that people can heal through dots - no matter how many you have. I discovered that very quick - I'd throw up 15 dots on one guy and his healer would dispell and heal right through it all. Of course it had to be a pretty good healer who wasn't dotted up himself. Given a ton of spell damage is may be more viable, with 4-5 locks or priests you could get to where each tick was about 1/3 of their life or more. Of course there is always destruction spec for warlocks, but you unfortunately can't re-use the gear (dreadweave has no crit on it at all).

Mages have to kite because they are so soft. One of your main ways to do that is with blink.. I guess you could blink the whole group at once

I usually dot the healer and then drain main x5 his face off. Gives me a good laugh to imagine wtf he's thinking with 5 drain manas on him as he spam heals his mana away.

haha nice.. I gotta try that. sounds like a great way to annoy people as a multiboxer. I think I'll spec into imp mana burn on my priests as well
