Through this thread I mainly aim to generate discussion in regards to people's opinions on both of the classes, namely which do they think is more fun to play/powerful in pve-pvp/each of the classes' utility in raids/et cetera.
I'm aiming to reroll as an Alliance Human and am having a hard time deciding which of the 2 classes I should mainly focus on, as getting any one of them to 60, not to mention pre-BiS will take quite a handful of time. I mainly aim to pve, but of course I'll want to run bgs on the side. I tend to enjoy mages a bit more mainly because of their high-burst from an early level and because of their spells in general (spamming Frostbolt with Fireblast and Cone of Cold feels a bit more engaging and fun than waiting for your Voidwalker+DoTs to finish off mobs), however raiding wise both classes play pretty much the same from what I gather (Frostbolts/Shadowbolts 24/7). Coupling that with the higher demand of locks on the Alliance side+the free 60% mount makes me rethink my choice.
Thoughts? Opinions?
