End game 5 man comps

I want to echo this for pvp.

I think that locks are probably the best all purpose PvP group. I think, even without autofollow, you will be able to make them work in AV. Mages on the other hand, have perhaps the greatest open world "carry" potential. By that I mean, if you're in a giant Hillsbrad zerg vs zerg pokefest, those mages can kamikaze in and kill anything in their aoe range in seconds, and then die gloriously. If you catch enough out, it has the potential to instantly cascade the battle in your favor. Locks on the other hand are going to be a slow creeping death. Dotdotdotdotdotdot and people will just start dropping dead.

I think in the end a lot of it comes down to your playstyle, preferences, & goals. A solo mage can do things no other class can really do but some of their biggest strengths rely on movement which is a problem for many boxers. I suspect the Warlock play-style and better tankyness is safest for most boxers but can see the value of burst AoE without doing damage to yourself (especially if you are the one initiating). A lot of it can come down to whether you are the one typically initiating and/or what you are more comfortable with.
