Warlock Faction Choice

[Shadowtrail]

OK after reading lots of posts here and talking to some peeps in game I can't decide what faction to make my lock. I like ally and being on the lower pop, but I don't want to fight wotf. I want to play horde for the better racials and I do like orcs, but less people to kill being more populated even if it isn't that large. This whole with a pve server also could mess with the populations more. I want to be raiding and doing pvp with my lock. I just can't decide yet any convincing arguments for either side out there??

If you intend on obtaining a bunch of your gear through PvP and Tailoring (which provides Robe of the Void and in a later patch the Bloodvine Set among others), then getting raid-capable gear shouldn't be a problem even on the Horde side. Bloodvine in particular is considered one of the best raiding sets.

... the difference between the population of each faction is so minor that it isn't even worth discussing. anyway you should go horde for 2 reason. 1. Not having to fight an undead that can insta break out of your best cc. 2. shamans are the bane of warlocks. so instead u get to fight pallys which wont be nearly as bad.
