How are sorc/warlocks when it comes to WoE and MvP'ing? Do they level fast from 100-150 and do they cost a lot to level in white pots, blue pots, etc?

As a warlock most MvPs are either shadow/holy4 reducing your damage by 50%/75% AND have 500+ mdef reducing your damage further by another 50%-90%. You don't stand a chance. Sorcerer's do have some options in MvPing however w/ the functionality of vacuum and neutral damage via p.wave, but it is still limited.

In WoE warlocks are basically glass cannons who die in one hit to most jobs and do less damage than most jobs as well. In extremely good gear however double released comets do an enormous amount of aoe damage over a large radius and can even kill some players, you should note that this will improve with the upcoming Kro balance patch. If you're able to get it off Tetra builds can one shot most jobs, but unless you have a rather large number advantage to avoid being targeted you'll get tetra off less often than getting killed. Warlocks do also offer some unique and useful debuffs ie: frost misty, marsh, stasis. Far from the top of the food chain but at the very least earn their party slot in WoE.

Sorcs in WoE have decent survivability via a mid-high HP mod and energy coat. Damage is not really impressive and is made best use of in a precast (vacuum, DD, earth grave, p.wave in mass do a ton of hurt on the portal) but allows one to hold their own when paired with the numerous disabling abilities sorcs have at their disposal. In addition to serving in a precast sorcs have a great deal of utility via magnetic earth, soul siphon(bye bye reflect), dispel(big one), vacuum, fiber lock, aoe sleep(high success rate compared to other aoe cc), striking (powerful 60s physical buff), warmer (very powerful healing in WoE2 w/ agni2 in defensive), soul exhale, spell breaker(with howling allows you to interrupt skills which otherwise are completely un-interruptable), safety wall and blinding mist. Overall sorcs are one of the more useful jobs in WoE.

Both are able to level at about the same speed via mobbing but are most effective with Kaahi.

you will deal 75% of your damage(your damage will not be reduced to 75%/50%) wizards/HW/warlocks are the strongest general damagers(without relying on only 1 skill like asura strike/extremity fist and using all of your sp).

In WoE warlocks are basically glass cannons who die in one hit to most jobs and do less damage than most jobs as well.

I can't believe how people underestimate this class. with the right gears, tactics, skills and stats build(I'm not talking about 99 int and dex) a wizard/HW/warlock can give and take(maybe avoid) damage at the same time.

I agree with this though(I think, lol)
