Do they have a natural enemy?
I think warlocks
warriors with FAPs…
i remember popping 1 and watching this frost mage PANIC.
used all his CDs , cold snapped and used them again.
was funny.
Most of the time I can kill them easily on my druid.
Any Priest who knows how to cast Dispel.
Any Shaman who knows how to cast Purge.
Oh yeah, you pop a free action pot and that frost mage is a goner for sure.
I believe warlocks and paladins can deal with a frost mage pretty well without needing any special equipment.
Shamans eat mages.
A lot of classes actually.
Druid
Warlock
Spriest
Good rogue
Hunter in every situation expect a duel
Shaman
Locks in particular destroy them, same with spriests- though if it’s a UD mage that fear immunity evens the fight considerably.
FAPs are so cheap now that basically anyone can counter a frost mage. Their biggest advantage early on is that they’re basically full power without needing gear or consumes, and they’ll always destroy bad players with ease- but they get left in the dust the more players get geared up and use consumes, a full frost mage is basically bottom tier now, you’re better off with arcane or fire.
Thanks everyone. New question, are rogues the OP beasts they were or does that calm down?
With LOS a decent druid can kill 2 mages at once. In arena if I ever saw mage/heals in arena I knew they could never win, even at 2500 rating.
Rogues become monsters in TBC and Wrath but thankfully other classes are also given more tools to deal with them. Wait until you see cheap shot-shadow dance into ambush spam with ICC daggers.
I was farming larval acid on my prot paladin in EPL the other day when I got jumped by a rogue, was funny watching him kill himself hitting me.
Continuing the discussion from Who kills frost mages in PVP?:
Do you think rogues are monsters now? I feel they ignore a lot of classes with shields, because their invis, does that make them good or do you feel they’re real problems now
As someone who had about 10 000 duels under their belt pre BC I don’t think it matters… Who really cares about 1v1s in vanilla? I can tell you that any phase 5/6 feral tank stomps on any rogue.
Warlock and shaman
I feel like SPriest is really strong vs mages
Stealth is not invisibility, they are two very different abilities.
Bad mage lol.
Pretty easy to sheep a FAP.
Ele shaman,
grounding totem , earth shock (interuption from ranged yardage is huge to defeat a mage)
lightning shield is good too deals 200-300 dmg when they rank 1 frostbolt you
