So how are you all holding up? Any good discoveries? What do you think can save us from those Sunblessed bow birds?
If given the tinniest chance, I find that you can time your skills to match theirs and interrupt their combo with a shield halfway.
Ps. Never. Use. Your. Shield. Before. He. Starts. He will blast out.
hey arterra, go str :P pallies are really good,
but pure int is really good for twinking
i dont think pallys need a thread. that is exactly why this goes to pure.
also, farming for scimitar and shield to use pally with set.
I have an all int mage and the few times I've gone into PVP, I've owned. The secret is to do as much damage as possible before engaging your mana shield (at about 1/2 to 1/3 health). Then cast a quick heal and keep spamming the AOE.
Yea, omnipresence is right, pure mage is good (even better that pally), as long as you know the right timing ;)
timing is EVERYTHING. agreeQuote:

Few int mages are any trouble for me. Only one that does give me trouble is kooderna, since she's so fast. Don't go pally, they're op, too many of them IMO. I kinda hate being the op class, especially right now, pally and battle bird for the most part take little skill to own in pvp, and that's why so many people are choosing them. Because they're op and easy to be decent in pvp with. But eh. I guess if you really want to pvp as a mage, pally is the best choice. I just think it's the easy way out. Yes, this is coming from someone that used to be a pally and used to be a battle bird.
You have to be fast as a pure int mage since you have little armor protecting you. It's speed, timing and a little predicting of your opponent to be successful. If you're clearing them out with ease then they aren't playing the class right. Battle mages are for those who want to win battles against birds and bears who don't know what they are doing.
I am just getting rdy to shift gears into pvp as pure Mage. I've been testing it out and man it's been discouraging! However, I like the challange and want to be know has the pure Mage killer vrs the OP pally. I'm currently contemplating the skill tree. Any thoughts u wanna share via message or reply for maxing out mana shield and ice bolt? Was thinking about dropping the frost nova since the range n dmg r so low.
There are so many Pallies these days. I think just pure int or dex or str is better. But then again, that's just me

I just don't know the right timing,., my kill is lower than my Death because i suck at pvp
Are you playing on wifi? Ping is 90% of your speed.
I originally played as a INT mage, i wasnt too crazy about depending on energy sheild to stay alive. If the sheild has a faster cool down time i would go INT mage without question. useing pally becuase u dont need to use sheild.
Through I do think INT mage is better for team battles becuase of the insane damage they can do.
lol if im not supporting with heals, i usually steal a few kills...Quote:
