S.H.E.E.P
so i got this lvl 52 mage and i was once a twink with him at lvl 39. thing is i just realized now is that polymorth is just as good as fear with locks its just mages don't use them much from wat i seen. the best thing to do in a bg is "polymorth" then "pyroblast"
then if the target dosn't do anythin "cast a fire ball" after blink in and do wat ever instant cast spell u have!
depending on the class i think this would work most of the time.
may not have a lvl 80 mage but i think i can see why im always getin killed by them on my warrior!the
best thing to do in a bg is "polymorth" then "pyroblast/fireball"
That hasn't worked since trinkets and other anti-loss-of-character-movement abilities. A mage's polymorph would be as good as fear if it didn't heal the target...
"Oh look I got a warrior to 20%% but now he's running at me and frost nova is on CD , I'll
sheep then run to a safe distance! ... oh no now I'm safe the warrior is back at 100%% Q_Q"
tbh if you're pvping you should be frost or at least arcane for 5 sec stun or slow.
frost seems to be the best for everything. could just be my play style but i find that i get better dps, more cc and insane burst with frost. frost has short cast spells which makes it better in PvP that fire, who wants to spend 5 sec casting to find it crits for 500 dmg more than a frostbolt crit ( +40%% dot that doesnt stack) there is almost no need to sheep unless you have to run from
a fight. sheep is an instance cc, locks fear does not work in an instance as a cc. fear for pvp, sheep for pve
frost = ftw
fire = fail
arcane = oom
marock, 70 frost mage on quel'dorieExcuse me? arcane spec has the best mana regen talents, and clearcasting, and 15%% more int. unless you're spamming arcane blast, you should never go OOM. frost is the best for leveling, but fire, arcane, and frostfire specs are the only raiding options at the moment. arcane is also becoming the PVP standard, making frost mostly useless for many PVP scenarios. tbh, frost is the least "FTW" of all the talent trees.The only reason I like frost for PvP anymore is all the buffs to Blizzard, then spam it in a heavy crowd situation, sure you go OOM in 10 seconds, but you can deal about 2k+ per tick AoE.
Too bad Blizzard are nerfing Blizzard, no more 80%% slower targets, Q_QLvl 80 mage
Frost= farmer/lvlin spec ~1300dps w/quest gear
Fire/Arcane= raid spec / dps ~2kdps
I'm about 1700dps in
raids where solo or 5 man im ~1300 because cc takes time and im still in some greens/bluessheep is good when someone take you by suprise
it gives you time to recast and buffs and use a bandage or evocation (with the glyph is a good idea :P)
then you hit with whatever you want if you need
to heal or mana regen again thn you have to use frost nova or dragonbreath otherwise its a wast of time,
frost spec is ok
but i like fire because of the hard hits and lack of them on my server XD
arcane is something i never tried but seems more of im not going to run OOM (Y)
