How to AoE using FIRE/ARC Specialization: By VeCt (me )
1) Mount up and aggro 4-5 (can take more if u target lower level mobs)
* Don't Mana Shield as it will deplete your mana pool
2) iAE once or twice to get the mobs to target you.
3) Walk backwards while casting iAE 1 or 2 more times to get the mobs into a tight group.
4) FrostNova
5) Blink away or back off, try to get 1-2 flamestrikes in (1st FS right on top of the mobs & second one just in front of you)
6) Spam iAE till all Dead. (Drink Mana or HP if neccessary cause dying waste a lot of precious time)
* If you find yourself out-numbered or if there are adds... don't be too gungho... run and live to fight again very shortly.
____________________________________________________________
Some would prefer the Frost method and others the Arcane method... whichever you decide is fine as long as you feel comfortable with it. Its a fact that Frost allows you to kite and kill more and take on higher levels too (you must be super good at this tho to pull it off and with the right equipment) but I personally find Arc/Fire is more challenging and the mobs die faster. It also allows me to dish out superb 1v1 dps whereby Frost are unable to do so once you go with that talent build.
Please feel free to post any other builds which you may have or tried. I would love to get this discussion rolling as I'm sure all of us mages will benefit from it greatly.
Cheers! |
