Now, ToD does give an example of the reverse, but you have to remember that there, the Horde wasn't using truly experienced Warlocks. Thus why you don't see Mage's acting separately when facing off against true masters of the Fel arts. An experienced Warlock like Kil'jaeden faced against the likes of Khadgar would rend him to pieces and blithely eat the remains. On the other hand, a Warlock takes your soul and siphons your health away, leaving behind, at best, a barely identifiable husk of your corpse.įel magics are far more potent than the Arcane, mostly because (again) it's about soul stealing, about taking every ambient power source around you and using it to fuel magics that can literally burn through almost all other defenses. Fel question is a different sort of discussion, namely "what's more powerful, a spell that modifies time and space or a spell that just rips your soul from your skull?" The latter is, inevitably, the answer mostly because Mage's are kept in check by those within their ranks or external police from truly modifying time to their advantage. Jedi/Sith is a moral debate more than a power debate (because generally, the "powers" sith were attributed were often matched by some other equivalent Light side power that was deus ex machina'd into existence to show that evil never triumphs). Just trying to determine if it's more of an impression of ours that warlocks must be more powerful because "why else would they make bargains if they were already powerful?". Now that might sound biased anti-warlock, but I don't mean it that way. The "Bargain for power" isn't because it was the only way to move forward for them power-wise, it's because it was an EASY way to do it. So I almost saw it as Warlocks getting similar power levels as mages, but instead of years and years more of study they turned to deals with demons. Their constant allusions to power are more that they took the "easy path" to achieve mastery of their power, not that they are actually more powerful. The Sith aren't necessarily more powerful because they turned to the dark side. Obviously ranking power can be tricky and subjective, and even if warlocks are more destructively powerful it doesn't mean they're better in every scenario.īut the reason I ask is actually this- until I started researching I saw mages vs warlocks as more like the Jedi vs the Sith. I wanted to get everyone's take on this, and ask if anyone knows if this is outright stated anywhere. So I've been looking into the power "Rankings" of various classes a lot lately, and a recurring theme that I see lately is that "Warlocks are former mages and shamans who started making deals with devils for power, so they MUST be more powerful than mages and shamans on average.". Warlock gives you lots of options.Howdy folks. I know how to turn up the damage when it’s needed and when to screw the meters and play CC and help my group manage things. For me? I have a lot more fun if I’m using most of my spells over the course of a dungeoun or raid. It’s another class where paying attention, throttling your threat and using all your abilities not just what milks the meters separates the players. I do great large pull damage, really good CC, I can SS a tank or healer on the fly when the chips look to be going down and my demons bring more utility. Does playing smart cost me a little DPS? Yes, but I’ve never once had a tank whisper me to be more careful, never caused a wipe nor have I stressed out a healer and ended up dead because I’m a ranged DPS and should know better. Mage? Mobility, I can go anywhere fast, I hit hard I hit fast and as long as I pay attention and throttle my aggro, taking care not to yank off the tank or focus targets other than the tanks focus? I’m golden.
