    Both warlocks and shadow priests are very powerful and chaotic individuals and both actually use the void, so a natural question arises who would win in a lore duel between these two. Who is stronger a warlock or a Shadow Priest?
    One of the main points to consider is that the shadow priest only uses the powers of the void while the warlock is also able to tap into the void which makes him a pretty strong counter, however there are other factors involved in this duel.

      Well due to priest wielding the light aswell as void and fel being formed from a clash of the two wouldent priests also have that same understanding you gave locks credit for over the priests? Also there are levels and degrees to corruption and I believe that the level locks tap into regarding the void is not comparable to the degree of wielding aswell as embraceming a priest has which is corruption and mindbending to a different degree. There could be a reason most locks chose to wield fel which presented itself later instead of void which was already present and appearantly requiring such mental fortitude making those same pre-lock magic users avoid it. Another point is the fear the biggest fel user which is Sargeras has when it comes to the void wanting to always destroy anything to do with void/shadow and always chooses to destroy it when the development of the power is in a juvenile state confirming the fear of it being able to overwhelm even more. At the end of the day any force is able to beat the other in some way, depending on the wielder ofcourse. Only thing is that due to the mental fortitude that is needed to counter the insanity inducing void I believe it makes the wielder superior because there is more control over the mind which in turn offers more control over matter. Aside that I see fel more as corruption/draining/sacrificing of the users plus others life source or energy rather than corruption of the mind which requires a certain mental fortitude. A fortitude which has high chances of making the user more devloped, cunning and having the ability to exploit the volatility of both magics aswell as minds within the battle but not before the destructive powers of fel blasts the priest to smithereens ofcourse which has quite the high chance of doing so. I just love speculating about the lore and this is me saying these are a few aspects which add a interesting dimension to the ordeal. I always explore these things in my mind after watching your vids because you always bring a very interesting point of view to the table. I really really like your videos hehe. Have a nice day :)

      This is interesting because warlocks use fel and demons and the fel and demons work for the void. The void is the opposite of light. They are constantly at battle. So if demons and fel work for the void that means by extension the warlock works for the shadow priest. I just don’t see a byproduct beating the main source

    Oof, now this is a tough match, both are extremely deadly in their own right. A warlock wreaking havoc with raw chaos magic, or a priest who can literally destroy one's mind. I'd still lean towards shadow priests, the power they wield makes them the masters of mind, body and spirit, being incredibly disciplined, where as warlocks are always not, they are chaotic, making them very easy to exploit, find a weakness, If the priest can get into the warlock's head...it's pretty much game over.

      My reason for this was touched on in the video. The power of void seems to have its own cosmic source where as fel seems to just be a result of void residue mixing with light residue.

    Something to bring up here: Warlocks are also banishers. A cunning warlock would wait the shadow priest to turn into shadow or "void" form and then banish them from the physical plane, as an aberration. Banishing I feel is an important power of the warlock, that gets heavily overlooked. Any being summoned, can be sent back. Banished. A defensive warlock should not be cast-a-side.

    When it comes down to it, my vote goes for Warlocks. While both may be adept in dark magic, a Shadow Priest's magic is more towards assaulting the minds of it's victims- a warlock's magic is towards the complete and utter annihilations of it's enemies. On top of that, they deal with darkness and creatures of the twisting nether on a daily basis and would be more than used to assaults on their mind, it's this resistance that would give them an edge against a shadow priest. On top of that, their spells aren't just limited to darkness. Plagues, firestorms, minions from other realms, all of these things are at their disposal- they can literally bring themselves back to life by ripping out the souls of their victims. With this kind of literal firepower at their disposal, they are more than a match against a Shadowpriest.
    To put it into a comparison of power: a Shadowpriest would be like a Cherry Bomb. Likewise, a Warlock would be an entire grenade in terms of raw power.

    Shadow priest magic: Shadow/Void, maybe necromancy?
    Synopsis: While I don’t agree with Doron, saying Void is stronger then Fel. Considering Fel is literally more chaotic and destructive by nature, also by the way Fel was created and also the fact that Fel literally destroys people’s existence’s and uses their souls as fuel. While void is more subversive and entropic in nature, both strong but in different ways. But I think a warlock would probably win in most cases considering they know more and they are not consistently fighting to keep them going mad. Warlocks embrace chaos

A mage might be able to also do this to a shadow priest, but then they can just teleport back, if the use of teleporting is weaponized then the warlock would instantly move to the very bottom of the teleport capable classes.

It’s not like warlocks are immune to void magic, if anything they have shown time and time again they argue the MOST corruptable class, so shouldn’t void mind attack be extra good against your average lock? In the end I don’t think you can call it, it all depends on the individuals involved and their specific strengths and weaknesses.

      Mages have Azshara, KT, Medivh, Malygos, Kaelthas, and debatable the warlocks mentioned above as well with the exception of the orc bois.
      Mages are statistically more corruptible than anyone else in wow and cause more of our problems. Even the orc invasion of azeroth wasn't a warlock thing despite the demons. It was a mage/warlock team. The sundering was all on a mage.
      Don't fall for the propaganda. Outsides of a handful of planetbusting scaled warlocks they aren't responsible for much more than mild irritation and making people uneasy. Mages fuck shit up.

    It really depends on the gear and the player. Like i play both ,but i kinda enjoyed more shadow priest. I mean here wasn't mentioned the healing spells of the shadow priest. Like in pvp i just shield myself and the meleee guys, drop the fear on, put a healing on the tank and just go damn fuck kill everything in my way. In other words Shadow priest can combine discipline priest small buffy shit and to do tons of damage with big dark shit. But here is the catch- you have to know the timing of your abilities and when to use what. Also if you going to help the healer in pvp you have to monitor you mana all the time. It took me few years to master shadow priest and honestly it was hard,but shadow priest can take any clasa out.
    For the warlocks , ive played warlock since 2009. Warlocks can literally just inflict huge damage and to do massive crow control with proper use of minions and fear and silence. But honestly warlock without a good melee guy in team pvp will not do shit, because casting time too long, health bar to low, also no healing besides stones and life drain. Which against a enemy who can absorb damage like shadow priest is not a good position. But still warlock are also way easier to play than shadow priest and leveling also is better. Also warlocks do a better job again multiple enemies than a shadow priest.

    Gonna use this comment section to wildly complain about how I watched 2min of this 9min video and already the double ad videos pop up. This is the first YT video I watch in a week. I'm so incredibly sick of this shit I'm considering closing this app and just never opening it again, in 2 years we will need to watch ads for a longer time than the actual fucking video. Yes I'm extremely triggered, the fucking human extinction will happen from ads being such a damn enforced task ppl start offing themselves no lie. Fuck this BS. I'm done.

    I don't think warlocks themselves could win against pretty much any of the other classes. Yet this is not what they try to aim for anyways. Warlocks summon demons preferably as powerful as possible like Gul'dan summoning Archimonde. As an example Illidan could beat Gul'dan alone for sure but Gul'dan would definitely turn the fight into his favor by summoning ancient demons like Mannoroth, Archimonde, Kiljaeden, etc
    Therefore I think the average shadow priest wins against your average warlock as long as no powerful demon decides to side with the warlock

    • @Slade923
      @Slade923 Рік тому

      Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden are both warlocks and not demons per say, if you put either of those two up against Illidan even in a physical fight both of them outmatch him by such a huge margin its not even close, gul'dan is considered near the top of upper echelon of warlocks but he was just a minion/pawn to Archimonde, even after taking the skull of Gul'Dan Illidan was still afraid of Kill'Jaeden despite the big power up he got from it. Archimonde displayed huge physical prowess by fighting Malorne bare handed and snapping his neck, besides that comparison, fel magic is extremely destructive and unless the caster is very unskilled as compared to the warrior/paladin/rogue he is fighting there is little those classes can do even without the warlock summoning demons. Besides as mentioned in the video, warlocks dabble both in fel and void more so whichever one will give them more power is the choice, there isn't any loyalty attached. This essentially makes the shadow priests whole shtick not really effective while the warlock still has fel to call upon which the shadow priest has no understanding of. The warlock class itself gives everything for power and stops at nothing to get more.

    Spriest pvp is literally disabling the other person by silence or fear or cc before you get silenced or feared or cc. Whoever draws first depends entirely on weather a spriest kit will be viable or not. I am an diehard spriest and can win most 1v1 against any class but warlocks are brutal and spamming dispel or bouncing ccs is annoying. Also I don’t play retail so the whole voidform burst thing that you guys have is not something I am familiar with lol.

    Eh I dunno, i always thought of it as warlocks being jack of all trades in dark magic, but master of none. While the shadow priests literally BECOME void, thats how well versed they are. So to me theyre just an upgrade of sorts. And yeah warlocks wield fel, but thats not any sort of counter to void at all. But its not like there are major shadow priest characters in the lore like warlocks have gul'dan and a number of others, so Im sure someone will counter me with that.

    Fel/chaos is the strongest magic of all. it is an ultimate multischool magic type that is the conglomerate of all magic that exist into one, hence chaos. This explains why when interrupted on chaos bolt you are locked from all magic schools there are for the duration of the spell lock.
    Fel magic = Arcane, Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow, (Holy, Physical)
    The second strongest multischool magic type is Cosmic magic = Arcane, Holy, Nature, Shadow
    Some other multischool magic types are: Astral (Arcane, Nature), Divine (Arcane, Holy), Elemental (Fire, Frost, Nature), Twilight (Holy, Shadow) etc.
    According to this Doron's confusing Twilight and Fel/Chaos magic, by referring to Fel as the Shadow and Light combined, when this is actually a Twilight magic (a type of magic which priests command lore-wise, even though it's not in the game, at least not available as a playable character).
    Additionally I see a lot of confusion when referring to void and shadow. Void is more a plain of existence (like the twisting nether) and not a magic type per se, but somewhere along the line they became synonymous.

      Bro what? Fel is maybe the most destructive power, but not the most powerful one. Idk where did u get that "Fel magic = Arcane, Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow...", that's straight up false, fel and arcane are both made of light and void energy, just fel is disorder and arcane is order. They are opposites, but the same thing in some way.
      Fel isn't multischool of magic, it's only 1 magic made out of 2 components, just like H2O= H2+O2.

    Shadow is similar in nature to light. Since the class attacks the mind of the opponent, they added this hint of Jungian psychoanalysis to the class. I think it fits well and has a deep metaphorical implication. The inner struggle between good and evil. The adversarial existence of man. Self being the greatest opponent to contend with. I like it.

    The way I see it, your average Warlock would beat your average Shadow Priest in a fight because Fel Magic makes you increase in power much more rapidly, whereas Void Magic is something you have to improve much more with over time.

    Just to be a nerd and have fun with an idea : What if when it comes to Mortals , Fel is more powerful. Here me out.
    Life itself was created out of Void and shadow.......Just like Fel. So mortal beings could never "fully" embrace Void since we are not born of the void ...where as Life and Fel both coming from this clash of cosmic forces....Maybe mortals can harness fel better than we ever could the void.

    Not that hard tbh.
    You said it yourself in the video.
    Power level being equal, spriests are specialists with a narrow but powerful toolkit in lore.
    Warlocks have a very broad range of powers, natively tapping into 3 different cosmic forces and willing to embrace the other 3 if/as needed.
    Warlocks understand, though cannot utilize, the majority of spriest power.
    Spriests understand a limited subset of warlock power.
    Power level being equal the warlock wins more often than not and handily.
