Mage Battleground experience is brutal

If you can get your resil up to at least 600ish you should be able to avoid 1-3strikes and dead as a clothie.

My resil is going to cross over to 1000 next week and can heal tank 2-3 players at a time usually lol

Hard to compare a mage and a holy paladin lol

Fair I suppose lol

I spent the past few days pvp gearing my mage and the one thing that stood out to me from classic is that the cast time of frost bolt is too long- the game feels more fast paced from classic and the cast time and damage of frost bolt don’t compensate.

It has tons of utility tho and survivability, but still felt like I got rolled by any melee. Again- much different than classic.

I got it fully geared, but won’t be playing it- I have a better ranged pvp experience on shadow priest despite going Oom every 20 seconds, or just healing on my rdruid

I often wish i had rolled Mage for PvP, instead of this Holy Paladin. Whenever im in a BG i always see 4+ other Holy Paladins on the horde side… and watch our alliance team (usually composed of at least 50% ret paladins) fruitlessly hurt them and be useless. Healing these players does nothing…theyll never kill the enemy Hpals and there isnt that much i can do to help as a Hpal myself… my dmg is minimal and HoJ is usually DRd from the army of Rets.

I often wish i was a mage so i could actually dent or maybe even kill enemy hpals. Mages are incredible against all these platers… but alliance seems to lack Mages so badly.

welcome to being a caster in wrath of the lich king
