Priest or Warlock ?

[AnthonyDavis23]

Hello Guys,

I really wanted to start a new character and I cant decide if I should go with a Warlock or a Shadow Priest
I definetely go with Horde ( because of UD shadow resistance ) but I dont know which Race to go.

Could you help me decide?

Maybe you could give me your opinion on the following topics:

Which one is better in...

PVP ( in particular WorldPVP )
PVE
Leveling

Also, I am a relatively new player, so I am not the best.
So, which class requires more skill to do well ?

Thanks for your opinions.

I'm not sure about PvP but if you want to be a DPS in PvE raiding you should roll a warlock. Priests must be healers 90% of the time.

For leveling it doesn't really matter. Warlock is easier because of the pet but priest is not hard either so.. Your main issue will be the gankings anyway.

It's not like any class requires world class gaming skills to play, so if you are generally good with video games and can understand how to play you can pick up anything quickly.

Lock is 10x easier to level.
Lock is 5x easier to get into raids with.
Since you're taking the meme race neither lock nor SP have any real counters in pvp so either works.

Conclusion: take lock.

Honestly, if you're torn between the two, pick warlock.

If you wanted to roll an Spriest, you would know it for sure.

Ok thx for the replies.

What about leveling ?
Can you tell me with which class you have to sit more to drink and eat ?
I really like a more fluid leveling experience and I hate to sit after every pull. ( I know its vanilla but still... )

Warlock.

You'll have a tank pet, and infinite mana due lifesteal and Life Tap.
