Could be a foggy memory but I’ve burned through entire Mana pools on mobs 3 levels lower due to resists. Constantly. I don’t have a meter but it’s probably close to 30% no matter what I try to hit.
I’m not talking about one every few mobs, I’m talking about almost every mob and chains as long as 4 in a row. I honestly don’t remember it being this awful, even while leveling. I know it happens, but this is either broken or incredibly bad luck because I got 3 bag drops in my first 30 minutes and now have to pay the RNG gods back for it ha!

Literally just happened to me 20 minutes ago. I’m level 16 and used Frostbolt on a level 11 Whitescalp in Silverpine. It resisted 3 straight times!
I’m guessing this mob has some natural frost resistance. I really like this! It’s more than just running numbers. There’s logic in a species resistance.

Yes. I rolled a mage and I’ve noticed I’m getting resisted quite a lot. Was this normal in Vanilla?
Yes they do.
High frost resist on those mobs.
Carries into SFK where the first few packs are Immune to frost completely.

Nah it used to happen all the time. I had times when leveling my mage that I resisted so much I ran out of Mana and thought I would die trying to kill the mobs I pulled.
What sucks is when you resist the first cast and someone gets to tag your mob.

Preach it, homie.
RNGesus: here, have 3 bags as loot for your next 10 combats!
RNGesus: remember those bags? Yeah - you’re going to be resisted by a mob that is a level below you 4 times in a row now!

It’s the kind of thing that can be learned upon experience. Nothing in RFC resisted.
I’m really digging this experience.

Ah. Foggy memory then. Not complaining but it can feel excessive at times. I prefer having them than not - but I’m definitely paying for those bags hahaha
Happened on my priest a bunch too. I burn through mana so fast that I’m spending a crazy amount of time restoring it… or I try to preserve it a bit, all while casting some spells and beating them over the head through auto attack.
Gotta make sure you get Elemental Precision capped in the frost tree and/or the same one for arcane spells in the arcane tree.
It happens quite a bit but I feel like I connect on my priest more than my brother does with a maxxed 2h wep skill.
Try bubble, mind blast, shadow word pain, then wand spam. You end fights against mobs your level at 95% hp and 95% mana so you have no down time.

Most classes have a increased hit chance for their spells in their talents. You’re gunna need to talent into it.
Why do you think I put 3 pts into Suppression. -6% chance to resist my Affliction spells makes things a lot smoother.

3/3 Elemental Precision is one of the best talents for Frost Mages.
Dont get baited into going 5/5 reduced Frostbolt cast time. Precision is better.
Too late! But I’ll get that up next!
Playing on a caster is like being a police officer. "STOP RESISTING "

What mob? Does the mob you are attacking have high resist to the type of magic being used? Stuff like this is important
Just like as a warrior I don’t want to fight heavy armor mobs, you as a caster doesn’t want to fight mobs with high resist.
just go to your trainer, really low cost the first time to respec…
