warlock or priest, new server?

[MuTTy_Hc]

rolling on the new servers this week, so was trying to decide what class to be.

Now after the 1.10 changes priest become a more lets say, interesting class. I certainly don't think it made them anymore overpowered, just different and in the long run perhaps better we shall see.

I am thinking of rolling a dwarf priest, why dwarf? They are my favourite alliance class + get the best alliance racials, this is a cool thing. I like to pve and pvp, I'll be speced 30 holy/ 21 disc probably I think this is the most viable build end game to please both guild and pvp aspects.

However I am worried, does priest end game gear focus too much on healing and not give enough +damage to beef up smite/holy fire?

Moving onto warlock, this is a class I liked before, however I find the dynamics of its gameplay a little frustrating with perhaps too much going on for my liking, however i am an avid rts player but warlock seems riddled with bugs even though it is one of the best pvp classes out there + I can spec whatever I want for pve and still be good in pve + I get pickings of damage gear when raiding (both good!) and also I can do other interesting things like farm dm west, solo bosses, solo mauradon, solo daemons in winterspring. All interesting and fun.

So in my eyes, I see it like this. I think I'd enjoy priest more at first, but I'm worried long term it will grow tiring fast, whereas Warlock will always have some interesting challenges out there even though I find it not that great currently to play (but I'm low level or was)

this being said, does fear ward with priest offer than equalising factor vs Wotf and the dreaded undead race which would plague me as a warlock especially undead rogues?

Thanks.

Depends what you want to do mainly on your character. If you want to PvP mainly then I'd go for the Warlock, and for PvE the Dwarf Preist.

However I am worried, does priest end game gear focus too much on healing and not give enough +damage to beef up smite/holy fire?

The T1 and T2 sets are pretty much totally based on healing and I think they have no +damage. But there's plenty of non-set items around with the +damage on that you can use.

Here's a list of +damage epics, they range from ZG, AQ20 through MC, BWL, and AQ40. Better items later on of course.

i enjoy my lock, and wish i could do more pvp, but as a casual player, im never gonna get any epics, and on my server if u dont ahve epics in a bg u die. and die fast. which is damn boring, and also slows down me gaining any rank as we rarely win.

my mates a shadow priest, seems like a cool char to play, but hes ditched me to do end game raids, which i dont have the time for :e

edit: sorry none of that really helps the situation at all does it.
