Mages

[Ashandar]

As a mage what can i use to unstealth a rogue?

I take it that the AOE i.e. frost nova just freeze them in place, even stealthed?

Or do i have to wait on the backstab?

Bloody rogues

Thx!

Frost nova, remember you can blink out of their stuns, you should have no problems vs rogues especially as frost spec.

[Wyleia]

you can cast any area of effect spell and the dmg the rogue takes if he is that close to you will desteath him. If you dont get him destealthed, I suggest blink and cast polymorph. You dont need to face him to cast poly, and he will already be your target (cuz he hit you) so you dont need to target him either. Once you have him sheeped you can plan your attack, first aid yourself, eat, drink be merry, then kill the bastard

By the time u break sheep on him and he runs to you again to hit you, blink should be back up, or you can frost nova and move away

Rogues shouldnt be much of a problem.. With almost any mage spec. Im fire

Now 2 rogues, then you might have a bit more of a headache haha

Is so fun when all mages asume that rogues doesnt use free action potions, sprint, kick, snare poison or vanish

is Kidney shot that stun that blink doesnt seem to break?

one think i hate about fighting melee players..

its so hard to judge distance.. the enemy could be a decent distance away from my point of view, but still close enough to attack.. hard to be at the right range for instas without getting close enough to be within attack range.

Poly beats FAP.
Root beats sprint.
Kick doesn't work on instas (and you probably shouldn't use anything else that close to a rogue).
Root beats snare.
Vanish does no damage, so won't stop the mage just running off or healing etc.

The fight begins from stealth, because the mage cant see the rogue, the rogue stun the mage, the mage blinks and begin to cast Poly, the rogue sprint and kick the Poly, spell thats not an instant, and drink the FAP, the mage is now dead, all he have now are snares and roots, if the rogue see he wont be capable of kick the Poly he just vanish while sprint, skill which works in stealth, and then gouge, stun and kill, the mage is again dead.
I guess the mage can flee after the blink if the snare poison didnt fired, but kill a rogue alone whitout healing? no way, and thats good, the game is not designed in a way that a class who excells killing lone pple whit his VERY FAST dps burst would die after getting the jump over a class who is more oriented to a group fight.

Hello, long time since i last wrote something on FH Havent been here since i sold my daoc account.

Well, anyway...

Im playing a full frost specced mage on Shattered Hand and im now lvl51. And i have never lost more then 5 fightes (out of maybe 100) against a rouge.

This is how i do it :

When I get attacked by a stealthed rouge I just just Ice Block which means i dont take any dmg whatsoever in 10 secs. So the rouge cant do a shit, and since all are noobs they usually keep hitting me anyway...even if there is no meaning. Then i Use blink, and when i have range i use both my instants, (Fireblast, Cone Of cold). And then i use my Abs Shield which absorbs all dmg (595) atm. In this time the rouge always gets in range for melee wpns. Then i use frost Nova, blinking again and nuking him with my frost nuke. After 2 of those the root breaks and the snared rouge tryes to get in range again. And then i use my 2 instants again, and if he / she still is alive i just keep doing this. As long as i can keep range betwean me and the melee class they dont stand a chance.

And since im full frost specced, my mana never goes down to 0. And i have 50% to ALWAYS critt while they are freeced and 15% chance to root them with all my frost spells for 4 secs... So imo mages are overpowered against all melee classes..

But again, thats just my opinion

Good Night !

Over and Out
