    Strengths and weaknesses of classes?

    Hey guys, I'm just wondering what the main strengths and weaknesses are to the following classes/specs...
    -Boomkin/Rdruid
    -Fire mage
    -Shadowpriest/disc priest
    -Affliction warlock

    You don't have to provide each strength and each weakness for each class, just as much as possible! thank you

    Boomkin= Alot of dmg, but dont got too much defense(imo) also nice controll

    Resto: Nice healing and mana, but cant burst heal, wich means they are weak against almost anything that can burst and lock down stuff.

    Fire mage: Alooooot of dmg, nice dmg on the move, and some nice ultillities.

    Shadow: Can multi dot for cleave dmg, can also do alot of burst with wings and MS/MB. But they got oom kinda fast.

    Disc: Heavy CDs, but almost useless without them. Can also mana burn wich is a pain in the ass.

    Affliction warlock: Probably the best spellcleaving class, superior for 3s. Dosnt have too much defense tho, so kinda die quickly. Also often the focus target.



    Sorry for bad spelling n shit. Did this in a hurry ^^

    I can only speak for BGs:

    Boomkin - solid damage when not focused. Lack defensive CDs and effective roots. Cyclone is a great cc
    Resto druid - great mobility but get wrecked by burst
    Fire mage - great damage and mobility. Lack burst CDs of frost unless Pyro procs line up
    Disc priest - great survival and CDs. Can switch to relatively effective dps when necessary. Vulnerable to purge/dispel
    Affliction lock - good damage and decent self healing. very squishy v burst. Very effective with top level gear

    RBGs mainly, but some casual arena too.

    Boomkins- Glasscannon in pvp. Very effective in (r)bgs, however, in arena they're very scarce.
    Resto Druids- Very poor healer against burst, good against spell cleaves, hard to oom, hard to cc (EDIT: They're incredible BG healers. Forgot to say that.)
    Fire Mages- poor defense, great mobility, burst is very RNG reliant
    Disc Priest- Very strong healer in arena, good damage output for heals, weak against constant dispels forcing casted spells which leads to easy lockouts
    Affliction locks- great constant damage output, decent self healing, fears are your only form of defense besides your portal. You'll need full pvp gear inorder to be effective. When you do get it, however, you'll be very strong.

    If you want to pick one, pick a Boomkin for RBGs. In arena don't expect to go far though.

    Otherwise I agree with what everyone else said.
