5 Mages - Ramparts at 62

[Quiding]

Youtube kinda f'd me on the video quality, and my video editing skills is very limited, I hope you still enjoy it, well you better do I used 1-2 hours editing in premiere, yes I'm that bad :)
I already got complains about music, deal with it this is my favourite music:D
Watching it on YT on 1080p I think would be prefered.

Great to be back on Grim Batol, and I now see why mages are powerful, no sheep required either :).

Funny, I usually mute videos because it's usually seizure-inducing noise. <3 Tool

It doesn't make sense in my brain. 4 mobs, a least 2 melee, why are they not even hurting you? I admit it has be a LONG time since Ramps, but I remember it hurting a lot on my locks and hunters and they even had pets to keep the mobs busy. If a mob slipped off my pets, it was pretty much instant death for one of my chars.

Is it stats (spellpower, crit, haste) that you add on purpose or do you just use quest gear? Is it the slowing of the frostbolts that helps a lot? Is it you always put up your ice barrier and mana shield that gives you time without getting slowed in casting? Do you do enchants or crafted upgrades to help with missing gear? Is it you already have cleared the place, so you have a few upgrades already?

For me, I just remember it being hard since lots of mobs and it took time to kill them. With a healer, it wasn't bad (pally team, shammy team). But without one how do you do it so well (other than your great skill)?

[Quiding]

I only have the heirloom head, rest is quest gear and dungeons quest reward gear, I haven't stacked up any special stats.
But it's very lmited how many hits the mobs get in on me before they die, and yes the ice barrier helps alot, and the slow on frostbolt is also great.
But I think i kill the mobs so fast because i use a castsequence frostbolt, frostfire bolt meaning if I have proc for frostfire bolt it will fire that, instead of having it on another button.

i was thinking , you would have to cc every pull.. but u make it look so easy.. and with no heirloom, ? only helm.
Im making a team here in a few days.. full heirlooms , its gonna rock, if u can do it easy without heirlooms ! :D

I did CC every pull first time I went into ramparts, but it just went slow and I wanted to try without sheep, and that worked perfectly, taking almost no dmg anyways.

Nice going man, pretty unstoppable.

One thing though, why don't use use the pet's Frost Nova/Freeze? to lock them in place + shatter?

Yeah, maybe it would be a good idea to use that on the main that is, using it on the alts would be too much a hassle, I'm not sure though.

I'll be sure for you then. +100% crit and +20% dmg on Frostbolts on frozen targets. Besides that they're locked in place and can't melee you. Besides that you can Deep Freeze them to make the effect last 5 seconds and stun them.

REALLY :D Just pop 1 pet's freeze/frost nova at each pull and enjoy the critspree. Also using Deep Freeze on Round Robin will make it even better.

Ahh, yeah ofc only got 25secs CD aswell, so that would be alot of extra dmg, thanks for the tip ;)!

Only good for trash, on bosses arcane hits harder than deepfreeze and does it all the time. My highest crit has been around 110k at 85 and I don't have a 25 sec CD on arcane blast. I remember a long time ago frost mages hitting for 150k, but those days are over.

I ment for trash packs, yes :)

And well, arcane lives off CD's. So if you can pop CD's you'll always outdamage a spec which is not relying on CD's. I wouldn't be surprised if record times of clearing instances from 5x arcane mages could be beaten by 5x frost. You can shatter into oblivion with 5x nova and 5x Freeze. You'll have to place them smart though, keeping DR in mind.

[Multibocks]

That's the problem, DR. I would take the bet for clearing an instance =)

I have my sheep focus macro and its pretty fast to mark everything. It's about two casts with AB to kill most trash mobs. Worst problem i have is when it isn't sheepable and then I have to rely on Ring of Frost.

[Quiding]

This team sure is getting harder in instances, I've managed all instances up to sethekk halls and then went to lvl in northrend, I had to switch to arcane for both Nexus and Utgarde keep, i just finished Azjol nerub aswell, but damn it's getting harder with these bosses having multiple phases, not just nuke 100-0%

2 thumbs up for TOOL!!! oh, and nice ramp-rape as well lol
