having fun on both classes and can't decide. both are lvl 36. not sure which to continue on.
only played warrior in wotlk

warrior currently fury and was planning on going arms between now and lvl 40. but not sure if i want to go prot and tank.
mage is aoe spec and tons of fun. never played mage before but being able to aoe farm sounds nice

If you're horde we undoubtedly need a tank more than another clothie

i'm mage but i regret not being a tank. groups are hard to find as dps, and when i do get in one there is usually 3-4 cloth in the group so it is hard to actually gear up

warrior, on the other hand, has all the options available to him. Fury is a very capable tank, can switch between shield and dual wield depending on the pull. You can get groups on demand and you're always the only plate wearer.

the advantage of mage is in solo content. You can farm more of the world mobs at any gear level (including most elites) and more of the pvp matchups fall in your favor.

it looks a lot easier finding a group as dps than a healer currently on my server. there's an abundance of healers on my server

farming on a mage is kinda why i was looking at them. they seem fun to grind and easy to get runecloth/essence/low twink items.
also not even sure i'll like tanking end game. i am new to vanilla. i'm a wotlk spawn. if i don't like it, i'll just play arms in bgs when they come out

If you're new to vanilla i would def go mage they are tons of fun and you don't need to know a lot, warriors are amazing at 60 but no fun to level (in my opinion) and require some knowledge of stance dancing to be effective with

Mage would be easier for you but I would go warrior it does take a little more skill so keep that in mind.

if i play warrior i think i want to grind dungeons for the most part. that would get me more attoned to tanking for later game. i heard mixed opinions on if i should go arms/prot or 11-13 arms rest prot. what are your guys opinions on spec if i want to mostly just dungeon and not solo quest?

depends on how you want to play. i had a much easier time tanking as arms with a 2hander. the rage generation was much better and i had less trouble holding threat.

warrior is now 38
mage is now 42

think i'll keep going on the mage. plus frost aoe is just too satisfying.
been spamming sm cath runs. found a group pulling 10-15 mobs at a time and we just aoe them down as 2 mages and lock. 21k exp/hr pretty epic.
had like 6 people add me to battletag during these runs lmao

Warrior is best. I had both classes on max. Lategame having a single button character is not satisfying anymore. Warrior improves by equipment more than casters, so if you go hard on warri it will always be better. In case you love pvp, go warri. You will think about me once your mage is max.
