A guide for the BEST Voodoo Mage!

[Noodleleg]

Welcome to Noodleleg's Legitimate Voodoo Guide!

Now, say hi to Zaprekz here and he'll wave back ^_^



Here's what you might see if you clicked on me XD!



Now... Let's get into something everybody loves to ask me... >.>
WAIT WHAT? I'm giving out my build =o! Yeah... That's right.
Build is under THIS:



Lightning and Firestorm can be 6. I chose firestorm because of my tactics in Voodoo. If you use my technique, I recommend 6 on firestorm. If you nuke, think about 6 on lightning.

For Voodoos:

Here's the COMBO! WEWT! Alright, this works on basically any class or player you meet. First, the buffs of course. Now, I run into the player in 12m range and do Frostbite (Snowball) and then Firestorm really quick; while backing up of course. After this, I backed them up from their 12m range and froze them in place. This gives me the upper hand. If somebody has already landed their combo on you (which is usually their drain) try to heal. If you can time your heal well, you'll be able to be unfrozen from their frostbite if they've used it. Here's how I used it.

This puts him/her in the situation where he/she can't use his drain when I do. Which means less damage and a forced heal (because drain heals him, but yet he does not have it when I do MY combo)...



Now, the fun part. After you pushed the player back, do: Drain, Lightning, and finally Firestorm. If you really need to, heal. Drain should already give you one heal. After that combo, do Frostbite, Lightning, Firestorm until you've got your drain back. Keep repeating the cycle until you've died or they've died. Remember, this does not always work on bears. We'll get to that in a bit.

Here's when you can get tricky, remember this requires much experience. While Chisk is chasing me, I can use mana shield and nuke him. Remember once you mana shield, do this very quickly. NUKEEEEE! If they turn on their mana shield quick enough, well, you go bye bye. Gotta do it quick. Be sure to use drain when you do it too. If you can sneak in the hot flash combo, that'd be better.



Now, if YOU are chasing them, be careful... All I can say =p...

When you see the other person turning on mana shield, try to do the back up combo I showed you. Back them up and turn on shield right away. If you're in a fight where both have activated their mana shields, the one that activated it the latest usually wins. Well, unless you start getting a big head and your opponent is Shelby =o!




For Birds (Referring to Iceberg Warbirds...which are like the only ones you face...:

Same combo with Mage ^_^!

Now, when you face these warbirds, remember they have something called the annoying CRUEL BLAST... To successfully beat them, learn good shield timing. After their first cruel blast (if you think you can try to hold off the first cruel blast without dying), use mana shield. This puts them in a bad situation. They have to wait for their blast shot to regenerate again. Finish them with a combo.

Here's Jack rooting me. His cruel blast is probably coming up. Try to stay far away from these birds, because their auto-attack from their sword is also really strong. If you think you can survive the first cruel blast, heal, drain and pray.



After the cruel blast, and you survived it, use mana shield. Remember, their blast breaks Mages' shields. It's the only skill that can do this. It gives you immunity to cruel blasts' damage. However, if they use cruel blast, shattering scream will hurt your mana, blast will break armor, and the combo it does will give the bird some damage to your health (not much really)...

Shield broken here... Says absorbed...




Time to shield!




Perfect timing here, I lived through his cruel blast too. I kind of won here. He'll have to regenerate his cruel blast, but then, I already charged and killed him by then.



For Bears:

Bears you face will usually be a Copperhead Bear; and yes, I have one. If you do face an ice talon bear, use the same strategy and be more alert to use mans shield. To win, AVOID THE BECKON DUDDDDEEE... It's really hard to, but you can try this... Do the push back combo and if they beckon you, heal right away. This nullifies the stun effect and gives you the chance once again to run away. KITE (don't we love kiting?) the bear to death ^_^!

This is about when you should do the combo (12m)... And the rest of it should be the same combo up there.




Here's what you really try not to get into =o! Being debuffed to death D=!




Here's probably when you'll die... Bears will "trap" you with debuffs and you can't move ar all. Sometimes, you can get out of it, but usually not. Heal as much as possible, try to use frostbite, and even more important use drain when you're getting low on health. Yes, stun is what'll kill you.




When you successfully avoid the beckon and probably also hellscream, you'll see the bear running to recharge his beckon. He'll run back to you with beckon and do the push back combo and heal. FINISH HIM after this!
