Fruit of the Month is: W/M geared as a mage. Otherwise, R/S is still most common dps.

by w/m u mean warrior mage or warlock mage? Heard good things abt warlock mage as dps, is it better than s/wd or r/s (dps wise)

Warrior/mage... though they dont shine brightest till after your 60/60 elite.

Your original character should be good right now too as S/wd is a top PVP class, and Wd/s is a very good PVE tanking class.

Warlock/mages are... ok... so long as you can deal with juggling psi, which I consider irritatingly pointless.

I've heard mixed reviews on Warlocks in general, although WL/M seems like it would be a good combination. I've never seen one in action in any instance and have no clue about their damage. Your S/WD will be fine, it's still up there in the top ranks for dps if I'm not mistaken. People don't play Scout as primary as much as they used to back in Chapter 3.

Warlock/Mage has some very interesting elite skills, skills that increase damage, increase speed, and increase intelligence; all seem to be desirable things in a caster class, I'm surprised we do not see more of them. They can also group buff your stats, physical attack speed, and casting speed.











Those were just some I thought the most interesting. Note: I do not play a Wl/M in real life nor on TV.

Someone on my server rerolled Wl/M from M/R and sent all his gear to Wl toon. 1 Month later, he got rid of Wl/M and went back to M/R. So, well...

How about playing with the dwarven classes?
They are the newest things out.

Warlock is essentially a good dps DOT class.
Works well for me with my Warlock/Mage combo.

I am a lv 77 warlock/mage and I love it. The one thing you need to remember is that is a SUPPORT class with some decent dps. When I run 12 man instances my main job is to support the dps/tank as well as dps on fights. Warlock has the sad disadvantage of buffing throughout the fight instead of before so the longer the fight the more damage you will do. ROM does not give us many long fights so that means I am usually in the bottom but I also am throwing surge on the mages and rogues/ damage resistances shields on the tank throughout the fight. Warlocks have insane intel buffs/skills and with the wedding foods/transformation potions/buffs I go well above 200k mattck and above 50k intel which = serious damage is the psy stages. Soul brand sting/FHS x 6 = a mac truck slamming into the bosses face. If you are the type of person that wants to be to the top dps every fight then Warlock/mage is not for you. I also have an endgame R/S and I play warlock more due cause its not boring. You have so many options and each fight requires a different rotation. That is interesting and fun. Also most smart wardens will invite you to targ since surge + whisper = one hell of a strong summoned centaur. The 70 elite is OP when soloing stuff but not so great during raids. The first person to hit after you silence gets the 2x damage so it could go to some lame white hit from a rogue instead of a power move.
