Need help fighting 66 bears as a 66 mage

[Vapourised]

I am struggling to beat them atm.
From what I heard, 66 mages are better than bears so im a little worried
My build is: 9 buffs, 9 frost, 9 weakness, 1 ms, 1 rev, 8 heal, 1 ice, 6 fire, 6 drain and 6 light
All help is appreciated.

you call yourself a mage but you have 6 light and drain and fire

get 9 drain, light, fire go down on the frost and i dont think weakness is any good
secondly are you using a wand set, or are they using angel
if you use staff/facing off against angel your at a disadvantage

not quite sure if 9 ms is any good at l56, but you could test it out

They seem easy to me :O Probably angel, but u should have capped light, drain, and fire for nuke. Also keep heal at 7(?) from there upgrades are useless.

Take from weakness, and put frost at 7. Nightmare > weakness here imo, especially because it takes from bears' dodge.

Thanks you two very much
Any tips or strategies regarding beating a bear in a fight?
I dont think kiting is enough

[Freakingud]

Use 4 frost so you can get more on nightmare( which I agree with befs). Tbh, you only want frost to freeze your target. As for killing bears, ask those 2 geniuses. Idk.

Hey vap!
I don't use debuffs and I beat most 66-70 bears fairly easy. I use 9 frost and that pretty much gets them stuck until they stomp or they dodge it. When u see that they r about to cast beckon, quickly tap dat ms and heal right after, i would recommend fire frost as the main combo against bears.

The 9 ice will make no difference in freeze time, since the time frozen does not go up after 9 or 7.

I also hold off on ms until they actually have me, don't wanna waste ur mana and be a sitting suck.

What i do is fire, ice, heal off hs, all while running back, and try to do as much damage as u can before they can cb / cs u.

or you could cry and move to l80

heal after their HS and stay away from slashes. the bulds up there are good enough^
