Help with choosing character

Ive just bought WOW but im stuck on which characters to use.

I want 1 melee either Paladin or Rogue, and one ranged either mage or warlock.

if any one could give me some advice about which is better for leveling, PVP, PVE, Instances etc ...

all advice is welcome.

re: Help with choosing character

Having a 66 pala myself I'd go with Rogue. There is a lot of stigma attached to pala's and many see them as the weakest class (even after recent improvements from blizzard).

I'd go with a mage as well because I have a warlock and got bored of it very quickly. Mage has better PVE crowd control with polymorph. Locks fear just tends to pull more mobs.

re: Help with choosing character

thanks for the tips, ive played my brothers paladin, and i like the idea of bubble and plate armor, but i guess at higher lvls he lacks power ...

as for the mage and lock, i wanted full out dps with the lock in destruction, or a mix of frost and arcane mage, but having read a lot of articles mage sems the way forward

a few of my friends, well many of them, say that destruction is very gear dependent

re: Help with choosing character

Also, they are restructuring Mages talents to make it more viable to re-spec as fire/frost instead of one or the other.

do you srsly need to fear when your leveling? the only time you really need it is if you pull more then 2 mobs. warlock is easy leveling compared to a mage, you never have to drink.

re: Help with choosing character

Well mages have more powerful attack especially fire. Warlocks r kinda slow at killing because most of the attacks r dots. I would say in power would be the mage.

re: Help with choosing character

warlocks are very good for BG's/arena

they also are the top dmg in raids. FS/destro is tree to go when raiding and is very effective. not only do u spam shadowbolt like a mage would fireball/frostbolt but u also have dots to go with and u never run out of mana.

btw, theres nothing wrong with being a ret pally, just dont expect to do as well as ppl your lvl/gear. ret pallys and enhance shamans have the lowest dps for melee. i think since the new patch paladins do more than enh shammys now.
