The above poster covered it all...priests are a little dull but it's a personal choice. Most of all ask yourself if you will be soloing or partying. Soloing goes good for a priest but they shine the best in a party, and locks can solo really well imo.

Hope this helped!

thanks for the replies.. its because i wanted to have a break from hunter (grinding and questing straight bores me) and i figured i wanted a caster but i dont want to be a mage cause ever since the first MMo's ive played i always did a DPS class so i wanted to have a change and play something complicated lol. Im gonna try level both to 20 and pick whichever i want (no extra payment for an additional character anyway lol) but having a free mount puts some icing on the cake..

well Warlock is best at DoTs...and owns if affliction...but owns anyway lol

And if u go shadowpriest yes...ull own EVERYONE at PvP and when i when i say OWN everything i mean OWN everything...a lvl 49 shdow priest killed a lvl 49 warrior without the warrior touching to Priest at all....so its a very hard Choice

There was a video with a level 41 Mage soloing a level 60 Warrior and not getting touched once. I hate to tell you this, but Warriors kind of suck. Their suck-capability is the highest of all classes, perhaps even more so than a Druid.

I'd say go Warlock. They're pretty rigged, and they can actually hit harder than Mages AND DoT. The pets pretty much incorporate some sort of skill center with a technical physical-DoT of it's nature. As in, Felhunter is anti-caster, Voidwalker is anti-interrupt, and Succubus is crowd control with higher damage. Imp is for very specific occasions and builds, though arguably less effective then the aforementioned.

Depending on your build, one will be your primary choice. Switching off to different encounters is effective though.

Priests can support others; Warlocks support themselves.

All I can say is that I got 23 lock alt right now, I couldn't been happier. Easy to level, fun to play, one of the top destructive machines at PvP, pets to benefit you at leveling and grouping with others and free mount at 40. Priest don't have any of those things, even though they still can be quite good at PvP if you play your cards right.

I've got a 60 priest and I love it. I didn't think leveling him to 60 was dull at all. I was spec'd shadow and then when I hit 60 I changed to disc/holy. I loved being shadow too and I still really like healing in the raids now. My brother has a 60 warlock and can do insane damage. So I guess if you want to do crazy damage go warlock or if you want to mainly heal, which for some can suck, then roll a priest.
Also have a look at the new T5 armour for warlocks. It looks SO awesome.

Hope that helped.

Dude, about the tier 5 sets, that's like comparing a van to a ******* monstertruck !!!

About the subject, my main is a 43 lock now, still going hard at it, had an alt priest but I soon got bored of it, it works much more support-like and has a damn stupid amount of down-time, two points which i'm not specially thrilled about. Still think priest can be kind of cool thought and may pick it up again for BC.
