Warlock or RogueFollow
I was wondering what class i should play, when the european final beta comes out, i played a Rogue in the US open beta, and i enjoyed it much. But i here people say all the time that Warlocks are better in PvP, and i'm gonna play lots of PvP, so i don't know what to pick? I also think that, Rogues only get improvement skills in high lvl, and Warlocks get new cool abilities.. Well, what are the pro's and con's to Rogue AND warlock? and what do you guys think i should pick?
Obviously the first thing anyone will say is….that is up to you & you alone. And have you checked out the class descriptions?
Bah..that aside I like mage classes, so I say warlock!! I have messed around with both and both are vastly used by everyone on every server. So if you’re looking for a class that is not a majority of the population, then I would suggest something other then these two. But if you don’t mind then it comes down to what do you want, fast attacks or summons? Anyway…I’m going to stick with my guns…WARLOCK!! You can summon your own mount!!
Side note: I also like warlock, cause the trade skills that go with it…i.e. I used tailoring and enchanting. By far these are my two favorite trade skills and this class compliments it perfectly.
Again…this is just my opinion. I currently play a Priest…the counter part of the warlock; or rather a warlock is the counter part to a priest. One that dove to deep in the demonic power.

I know it's up to me, but i read the oppinions on Blizz's forums, about Rogues, so i wanted to know ppl's oppinions on Warlocks, pro's and con's.. I think i've read everything there is to read about the two classes, so i just wanted someone elses oppinion about it..
If you are going to focus solely on PvP then really there is a clear choice here. You want to go rogue.
There is one very simple reason for this, and it has nothing to do with Warlocks being "weak" in PvP. It's simply the fact of soul shards. Many, many warlock abilities revolve around using Soul Shards as reagents.
It's a general consensus that if a Warlock is to be effective and use all his PvP abilites, he needs to farm Soul Shards for around 30-40 minutes, for 10-15 minutes of actual PvP. Since other PC's do not drop shards this means farming mobs. This is okay for me on a PVE server because I only PvP when I want to, but if you're on a PVP server where you can potentially be jumped at any time, the danger increases exponentially for a Warlock. Many times no Soul Shards = Death.
This is a problem in my opinion, and there is currently a petition to Blizzard posted on the main site with hundreds of signatures for PC's to yield Shards in PvP. Until that happens though, if it does, you're better off playing a rogue if PvP is going to be your main focus.
Edit: I wanted to edit something and note that I think that 30-40 minutes of farming to 15-20 minutes of PvP is a little exaggerated. It might take you 30-40 minutes to farm the shards but unless you're shadowburning every chance possible (which you shouldn't be), you can last at least the same amount of time in actual PvP. I personally think that even this is unacceptable, but my OP stretched it a little.
