I’m a better Mage than a Rogue

Filed under: Uncategorized — Kevmar @ 10:37 am

I am working on my mage and rogue now.  Both were RAF accounts so they were already around level 61.  I did raid a mage at 60 on a previous account so it does feel more natural to me.  If you look at the fact I also have a 80 priest and 80 lock you can see I lean towards casters.

I really like my mage.  It feels so simple and lax compared to my other classes.  It lets me really relax and just enjoy playing.  Running him with 2 specs does keep the variety just enough.  If I feel that its going to be a heavy aoe run, I will go frost and blizzard every pull.  If I think I will get some good single target damage, I hit it strong with arcane.  I love having the ability to just dump manawhen the extra damage is needed.  That is something my shadow priest lacked was a good mana dump. 

I have a love hate relationship with my rogue.  I think I want one so I keep at him but I just don’t have that much fun with him.  I am sure its that I find myself rage starved and waste tons of combo points.  My target either dies before I can spend the points or I find myself tanking a mob because nobody else is attacking it.  I think I would make a great rogue once I got the hand of it. 

I keep a good eye out when to distract pats that get close.  I can lock down dangerous casters.  And I know I can vanish when feared into another group of mobs.  I still lack real aoe at this lower level so I feel worthless in groups that do aoe everything.  At Least I remember to use poisons now.  I think I went 2 levels before I remembered that I needed them.  One of the side effects of RAF alts is missing key learning experiences for each class.  I hope that I get a feel for this class before too long.
