World of warcraft Rogue or mage.?

Question

I'm new to World of Warcraft and was wondering what was the better one to commit to. what one has a better attack and is easy to play and level?

Answer 1

Mages are easiest because they can fire from range and they eventually become overpowered because they can critical hit you for thousands of damage with instant cast spells. In short, easy terms, you'd want the mage. They're great for leveling and easy to figure out.

Answer 2

It really depends on what your preference is. A rogue can stay alive pretty easily because he can essentially disappear. Leveling a mage at first can be tough because you don't have a way to keep attackers off you, and you take damage really easily in cloth gear. Right now, mages are definitely overpowered at the higher levels, and rogues have taken some major hits with the newer patches.



If you're going to play a rogue, the key is to keep moving. Make sure you don't stay in one place too long. As a mage, your goal will be to hit things from as far away as possible and to keep them away from you.



The way you play will depend on what you're playing in, too. Sometimes it's hard to quest with a mage if your soloing because they take damage so easily. When you're in a dungeon, though, you can do some killer DPS with a mage because someone else is holding the aggro anyway.



They're really just totally different playing styles! You might want to try them both for a few levels to see what you prefer.

Answer 3

I'd say they both have thier pros and cons. Rogues can go toe-to-toe with enemies and just bash through mobs while mages have to stay far away fomr them and use a variety of cc abilities to stay alive and control thier opponents to make sure they dont get hit. ill give you a basic run down of what each class is about so you can decide which one better but at the end of the day it's really up to you and which playstyle suits you best ^_^



Rogue:



Can pickpocket creatures for more loot

Can open lock boxes for more loot

Can stealth or vanish to avoid death or detection

Can go toe-to-toe with enemies (Combat build)

Weak against multiple targets (a bit better with combat build)

Uses physcial attacks to get stuck into combat and whack some skulls!

Not tough but not squishy, lots of abilities to avoid being hit hard.



Mage:



Can teleport to major home cities (quick travel)

Can portal to major home cities (quick travel for you and your party)

Very squishy, avoid getting hit by enemies

Strong against multiple targets (in frost build)

Uses spells that are cast over time to deal damage from a distance

Can conjure free food and drink to restore mana and health

can ice block to avoid death for a while



good luck :)
