Warlock or Hunter?

[disco]

Should I make a warlock or a hunter!?  You decide!

I've played both and like each one alot.  I'm leaning toward hunter because I have more fun with that while questing, but I also love pvping with a warlock!

If I had to pick a class that's most potent in PvP, it'd probably be Warlock, though Hunters almost always top the damage list (other than my mage, of course :P) in the twink BG's... it's hard to say.

Personally, I had a lot more fun on a Hunter than I did a Warlock, but I'm biased because Warlocks used to suck...

Thinking practically a warlock would be better because I wouldn't be on that much since this char is basically an excuse to switch things up when I get bored with leveling my BE paladin (which happens frequently).  On my horde warlock it wasn't uncommon for me to top the damage in battlegrounds for the horde side, and even for the who BG occasionally, and that wasn't even a twink.  That way I could get to 29 and just grind bg items until I finally decide to start venturing into the terrible 30's...

Ahhh!  I keep going in circles!  I suppose I'll just wait until tommorow and let the poll decide.  :P

There were times when Warlocks were near the top in my bracket (39), but I don't think I ever played a game where one out-damaged me or an equally competent (or twinked...) hunter.  This is counting games where the teams were obscenely unbalanced...

Warlocks can do some pretty sweet damage by stacking dots on everyone around them, but they just don't have the burst damage necessary to do things like solo-return a flag (assuming a bit of support on the opposing side).

I'm not trying to sway you away from a warlock; I'm just sharing my observations...

Warlocks are freakin' rad. I slay pretty much anything 1-5 levels ahead of me as a 31 lock. :D

I always top the charts on my hunter, and it's not fully twinked yet. I also find it easy to quest, so it's good both ways in my opinion. I am starting an UD warlock right now just because I want to level and not worry about mount. I also have a warlock on alliance, lvl 40. It's pretty good as well. When I get BC, I'll probably start a BE Hunter (that is possible correct?).

Warlock are cooler and they're great for PvP. I don't particularly like Hunters but they're an OK class.

[Krazed]

<- wishes he rolled gnome warlock. Humans FTL.

[Omen]

I have an gnome warlock, nothing to brag about. :P

Hunters beat me when teams were unbalanced, but if I had a team that would stick together (or just one person that'd heal me), I'd pretty much dominate.  I was a twinked fire mage...

I was thinking of what a twinked mage would be like, what bracket were you in?

30-39.  There are few classes I have problems beating.  There are also few classes that have problems beating me if they get the jump.  I'm a glass cannon.  I have like 1200 HP, but fireballs hit for 500 or so and crit for 700.  I wasn't hugely twinked.  I had a bunch of green +fire damage stuff, robes of the magi and staff of jordan.  I had a few enchantments, but non that'd run me over 5g.

Draenei hunter! Female, of course.

Of course.  The only male characters I played past 20 were my Gnomelock and my Shaman.  Females own.

I have a frost mage, lvl 35. Might do some battlegrounds on it but can't decide what gear to get for it. I'm a chanter so I can chant the gear myself. Where does Robes of the Magi drop and Staff of Jordan?
