Haven't played in half a year, does my mage now suck?

man I got that urge to go reactivate and enjoy the game a little.

uh no?

only thing that sucks if your hit rating

Your hp is pitifully low, but the +dmg for your progression is decent.

how long has it been since BC?

Welcome to mage gear, would you like more spirit?

No, he looks alright. Gem Veiled Noble Topaz (+4 hit +5 damage) in everything, and upgrade your weapon, and you can use that mage pretty much through Tempest Keep (assuming you'll be getting a few upgrades along the way). The cool thing about mages is the crafted gear goes a damn long way.

For what it costs in mats it damn well better.

My point is, if he plans to raid or PvP, it needs to come up. Period.

Well unless you plan on raiding in PvP gear there's just not much mage gear out there with good stamina unless you want to sacrifice mana and damage.

:shrug: do what you have to do

1 SB volley from the 3 mob spawns in Mag's Lair will about kill him, or an infernal popping on him/hitting him, or a 2-3 person shatter, really any of the AoE dmg from the first pulls in TK, acid spray from a bog colossus, a saw blade from TK, and probably a charged arcane explosion (if he's dumb enough or unlucky enough to get in range) from the robotz.

:shrug: if the stamina was there it'd be possible. Most of the top end mage gear is severely lacking in it.

yeah except ice block is trainable so that should help with that signifigantly.

No it isn't.

Do you play a raiding mage, Swamp Kitten?

yes it sucks give it to me.

Btw i raid on my spriest with 8khp unbuffed. i think he'll be just fine.

Warrior, priest, druid atm.. no mage.

Though my priest has about the same hp he has and it sucks... also 1.2k hp difference is pretty significant.

You have to flat out break the hp barrier and not just *hope* you're going to live. You're not topped off all time, especially as a ranged DPS. There's a lot of shit that happens at once, whether it's someone next to you getting orbed, eating a double sawblade, taking a frag nade to the face at the same time as some other random effect/aggro, AoE blasts, broken sheep, etc.

Not to mention once you get into boss fights that require you to have a certain amount of hp to just live through it, not counting anything else that happens. Watery grave after quake on Morogrim? He's dead. Leo + bleed? He's dead. 2 ambusher's on him on Lurker? Pretty fucked. Orb after not being topped off? Toast. The list goes on, but the point remains: you have to break about 8.5k to be safe.

Our mages did SSC and TK in like <6k hp and it was fine?

Maybe my guys have a knack for getting into trouble (or being retarded, which I'm certainly not saying is out of the question), but it always seemed like when their health was that low they got lolowned pretty frequently :shrug:

No it isn't.

it will be in the next patch


link your armory fool, you've been talking about him for a while and im interested in stalking you, here is mine http://armory.worldofwarcraft.co m/character-sheet.xml?r=Ysera&n=Justincaze

oh and I do just fine with only 6700 unbuffed health and I'm 6/6 ssc and 3/4 tk, almost always live through the entire fight
