For the good people over at M&M Meat Shops, I swear that this was a huge coincidence. I’M NON PROFIT, YOU CAN’T SUE ME!
*Ahem*
So let’s cover the remaining facet of magely crowd control, our frost spells. Downranking will be heavily abused here.
Frost Nova
Everyone’s favorite AoE root. It deals a tiny amount of damage, and roots [...]

Counterspell is an amazing spell interrupt ability. Relatively, it does have a long cooldown, but it also has a very long lockout, a significant silence if specced for it, works independent of the GCD, and has a very long range relative to other interrupts.
Long Cooldown
Remember that you have 24 seconds between counterspells. That may not [...]

VOLUME I - CROWD CONTROL
Chaining Crowd Control

I swear the timing of this combined with Out of Mana’s post on…. well, the exact same subject is purely coincidental. Great minds think alike (or goldsoon’s think alike, AMIRITE?).
Anyways, a quick reference guide on getting your freshly minted 70 mage geared up and ready to take dirt naps in a competitive environment. So, [...]

Today I’m going to be talking about something that is most definitely not the norm.
Y’see, Shamans aren’t the only class in the game that can spec Elemental. We mages can do the same. With strong talents in both the fire tree and the frost tree, a mage can seamlessly mesh flaming death and frozen fury [...]

In between getting slaughtered by premades in Arathi Basin, I figured I’d whip this up.
Essentially a list of the consumables that you, as a mage, are very strongly advised to get and quaff. It makes you awesome. Like anti whiskey!

These are the addons that you, a mage, simply CANNOT function without. Am I exaggerating? Sure, but not by much.
OMEN
Frankly, every single character in all of WoW needs this addon. Well, ok, any character that has ever done anything in a group, or warlocks, or hunters, simply MUST have this addon. A threat meter of [...]

At some point during your WoW career, you might be hanging out on Stormwind or something, just checking the auction house. You might be looking for a couple heavy leather for a new Quiver, or maybe looking for a new sword. And then you notice its Arathi Basin holiday weekend…. and you think… let’s give [...]
