Title: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 09, 2008, 12:25:52 AM: Oh yeah. Ice Block for everyone. I hate how lazy a fix it is but I love Ice Block. They also fixed mana gems so we can use them 3 times instead of 1, still suffer the usual cooldown but goddamn its nice not generating a gem EVERYTIME I use one.

Post by: MrAngryFace on January 09, 2008, 01:36:44 AM: haha, that'd be great synth! lord knows they need a goddamned nerf. Whats worse is facing a mage and warlock together. There isnt a spell combination to get me out of that mess easily

Post by: MrAngryFace on January 09, 2008, 01:41:05 AM: I havent met a warrior in 60-69 battleground that could take me right now. The warlock mage combos are killin me tho. Mages shouldnt be friends with Warlocks, even IF they are on the same side. Rogues are kinda tough...kinda, but even then I have enough stuff to keep em locked down while I dps

Post by: MrAngryFace on January 09, 2008, 04:47:53 PM: hehe, I had a guild but they got all SERIOUS BUSINESS cause I left a group early and im like fuck this like I need you guys and now im a lone wolf again.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: T234 on January 09, 2008, 04:53:29 PM: Our guild is mainly based around economics. A lot of it revolves around crafting.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 09, 2008, 04:57:47 PM: Yeah I just join guilds so people stop asking me to join guilds, I rarely group and I PVP alone
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: T234 on January 09, 2008, 05:11:02 PM: We don't do too much grouping, just some light 5mans.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 10, 2008, 02:40:54 AM: i'm still baffled how you manage to bypass instances, just grinding alone :-\
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 10, 2008, 02:47:22 AM: well basically I hop both continents doing quests, and whenever I had rest xp I would find a mob one level below me, and as a fire mage I could grind through those at double xp till rest xp was gone, then I would go back to questing. I made enough money from quests and a little bit of farming to get all my gear from AH. I actually grinded 510 gold over christmas in like 2 days since outlands is so chock full of netherweb silk, which no one wants to farm even tho its right outside of shat haha. Oh well, more $$$ for me!

I honestly have REAL trouble grouping with people because im very no nonsense about quests and I try to keep things efficient.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Eric P on January 10, 2008, 10:01:56 AM: i'm pretty much the same way

unless a quest is too difficult for me, i won't group.

no pick up groups, guild mates only.

because otherwise i'm wasting time, exp and money.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 10, 2008, 04:20:40 PM: I'm the opposite about grinding - I'd rather do it in an instance than by myself on some god forsaken quest; often I'll do an instance, then when we're finished I'll enter the LFG que again. Granted I do quests, but not as many as I should lol. Before my computer fukk'd up I entered Zaggamarsh or whatever, and I noticed many of the quests recommended 2 players :-\
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 10, 2008, 04:35:15 PM: Yeah, there's definitely a sense of noob-ness when you do an instance for the first time. You try not to fuck up, and freak out over even the smallest mistakes. Whenever I'm doing an instance for the first time I do my best to find a pally to come along - that way if my tanking is a bit crappy I don't have to worry about the healer sniffing the holy ghost too soon. On the second run through I'm ready to rock.

I'm not the greatest tank ever but when the group listens to me and works together no one dies.

Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: cubicle47b on January 10, 2008, 05:56:30 PM: It's fucking sad when the tank does more than 2x the damage of anyone else in the group.

edit: Oh, that's damage taken. You need to work on your skills, PD.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 10, 2008, 06:16:40 PM: What's a good percent for tanking in your opinion? There was a hunter in our group and I'm guessing his % was high due to his pet
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: cubicle47b on January 10, 2008, 06:34:11 PM: You had two pets in the group so that might be throwing it off. It's hard to say what a good percentage is for a good group. It depends on the type of damage that's being thrown around. Very few physical attacks should hit your party, though.
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 10, 2008, 06:48:52 PM: My DPS is almost always tops in battlegrounds. Props to the fire mage omg!

Also instances take too long for me. I wanna get to battlegrounds n shake stuff up!

are now, u get ice block without going frost.

ice i think is still better, but fire isnt necessarily terrible in it atm. the pom pyro is rockin
Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 11, 2008, 03:48:21 AM: Ive never found a use for a pblast in normal bgs, but I suppose if you arent in a pug you get a chance to blast a few. We'll see how it is after i get my Season 1 stuff.

Most groups wont take a fire spec in arena, its frost or nothing even with ice block.

pom is presence of mind

u can insta cast pyro, fire blast, then blast wave for a nice mass burst on your guys main target

basically wait for your team to blast off the initial damage to the target (priest bubble or prayer of mending or whatever), make him kinda get tripped, the pally wont necessarily heal yet when priest is at 90% because holy light heals for like 4k. then you do pom pyro, fireblat, then counterspell pally or whoever other healer is, blast wave, and then dead target, gg 5v4

if u have bloodlust u can chain fireball pretty well after that, errr after you frost nova, and back up, hehe

Post by: MrAngryFace on January 11, 2008, 04:03:28 AM: Dont you lose a lot of damage talents from fire going that deep into arcane? I spose it doesnt matter in arena as much since youre in a group situation.

well the whole point of arena is burst damage.

u have to CC the right people, silence who needs to be silenced, and then everyone goes "OK HIT THIS GUY!" with everyone understanding line of sight issues (which is the one thing you just can't teach... people have to be good and need to understand how it works, and to use it to their advantage), knowing where said player is, and all bursting him with the biggest things you have. an instant cast pyro blast followed by a fireblast is a nice thing to have right there ;)

and burst damage makes the other team's healer panic. cause hell i know it makes my ass panic. im the priest spamming every known possible heal on people and just gettin beat down with my shit resilience rating. the only reason i stay alive longer than 5 seconds right now is because im just playing line-of-sight-craft the whole fucking time. plus priest has 3 instant cast heals that help a ton

Title: Re: WoW - Latest patch....buffs mages?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 15, 2008, 02:01:54 PM: I know, and it sucks. I'm at lv61 and my play time has been interrupted by so many things, mainly school and computer problems. With the four day weekend coming up I should get some leveling done; like I said the tech dude will be here later today.

I created the character in December 2006, and a year+ later I'm not lv70 sigh. I go rather slow but jeez
