Should you ask mages for water on BGs?

Av is a 40 man raid. Do you go on your 40 man guild raids expecting everyone else to bring consumables for YOU? Their are a few different ways to get 55 food and water. One merchant sells a consumable that does food/water together even. You mention you prepare before going to a bg even. Why cant others? I come prepared to the point that i only have 6 slots open in my bags. Why? Because I have health pots, mana pots, faps, speed potions, shadow/frost shield potion buffs, magic resists potions, and more!!! Plus my pvp/pve gear. So I couldn’t even fill up my inventory to get a mass of mana potions because I am coming to the bg ready to fight. People. Need. To. Be. PREPARED.

Edit: And those six slots are filled with my food/water.

You shouldn’t have to ask. Good mages did/do share it.

Still best to come prepared, esp if you don’t feel like dealing with uppity mages. Best water is in AV anyway.

I wouldn’t enter a BG as a mage without a bagful of (free) water to share, but that’s just me.

My favorite is when you load into a battleground and someone just opens trade with you. They don’t ask first, whisper, or anything. If you wait about 30 seconds with the window open, they might ask haha.

Sure you can ask for anything. As a warlock I give them a HS in trade for water. Not too bad a trade in a BG if you ask me. A button click for a button click.

EDIT: Just don’t give me any of that lvl 45 Toilet water. You can keep that, would rather go oom and die.

This sort of outreach works wonders. I have something similar macro’d.

You mean an epic 1v1 and warlock buffer with side heal and buff hustle?

Ask away man.

When I get into AV, if I have no food/water, I ask immediately. Then ask for healthstones too. Inquire about a few buffs.

Groups not set up? I’ll ask for assist and build them.

It’s a team, and the more everyone works as such the better off everyone is.

Ask early when you get in and nicely. If they dont respond, ask someone else. Glhf :slight_smile:

If mages don’t want to be healed, then they don’t have to give water.

You could always farm for an hour or two.

I’ll give water if asked. If a trade window opens up though without anything being said, that’s another story.

I can’t make water for everyone and buff Arcane brilliance on everyone and get my mana back before the BG starts though.

Love this. If you are a Ret or Shadow, this means don’t ask me for water. I’ll give feral druids water in WSG only, not AB.

I don’t give water to obvious macros
Gotta put in some effort for those tasty treats

i mean they got like 2 minutes they can spam out a few, better than losing nodes to people just being oom or only got partial mana sucking down that 45 water

Mage here - Though not Classic. As a mage, it doesn’t bother me honestly… I need it to as I’m arcane xD

I just come with like 3-400 waters made. Tell people to trade for water. Buffs appreciated.

Ask politely, wait for response, don’t bother them if they don’t respond or don’t give you any water.

There’s no drawback to a polite request. Anyone who’s offended by that isn’t worth dealing with anyway.

If you just open a window and say nothing, I ignore you. Ask and if I can, you will receive.
