An issue with multi-classing in classic

[Yani]

I plan on doing 2 pallies, 2 locks, 1 mage, but could be convinced to do 2 mages 1 lock instead for dps

My reason for doing 2 locks (beside getting 2 cheaper _level 40_ riding in the initial no gold environment) is that I think 1 lock can do the improved healthstones and imp while the other can focus on other pets (don't the buff stack?)

Also that's 2 soulstones etc

But is warlock dmg significantly worse than mage and all the above utility not worth it ?

Personally I don't think so, I think if I was min-maxing I would take 3 mages. But I think I can just about justify the utility of one, but with sub-optimal rotations from multiboxing, I reckon I'll need the double mages just to carry the damage.

With a mage over a warlock you also gain a much safer and flexible CC and a counterspell.

Has anyone tested if the [@player] condition works for ground targeted skills yet? That would make things a bit simpler.

Use VFX, Mirai's video covers this really well; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAIukHgWgo
