Scholomance 4 Mages 1 Priest 37min run (Video)

[StingraY]

I can tell you my 4 warr shaman team is now 56, wars all have HoJ and gladiator chest, arms sword spec with destiny (boe 54 dps sword) and I regret nothing

even though you cant aoe pull as much as mages, you constantly burn through groups and dont need to reg nearly as often as caster teams (shaman uses mostly spirit/mp5 gear)

Wow... just how much BRD did you run to get those for every warrior? That's crazy.

4 gladiator chests - that's insane! I've done ring of the law event around 30 times and I haven't even gotten 1 to drop yet :-D

I'm getting meat sweats just reading this. Plz video soon?

All the hype is on Mages. I would like to see some videos also.

I've just made a mage team to try it for myself but I'm still not totally convinced. I feel like warriors or warlocks will be able to clear stuff mages will struggle with. Some of the bosses in DM possibly or UBRS. I can't see mages being able to 5man Rend or Drakkisath which warlocks can do.

Then again, I thought Scholomance would be harder than it is for a mage team so anything is possible.

A dedicated 2nd Player running a Priest with 1 player running 4 Mages is not the same as 1 player running both...

While I found the video impressive there were multiple parts that I didn't see as viable for even a very gifted single player. For example, the Priest running large out of sight circles up/down stairs with the 4 mages picking off lagging/following mobs seems impractical for a single player.

Similarly, the Priest was running around all over the place and shackling while the mages were poly-morphing and focusing and I just don't see that as realistic for most single players. I am sure some single players can pull off some of that but certainly not all and people should remember that the video was not a 5 box and it was not 1 single player in the video...

My thoughts are that for PVE for most people having a real tank option would be safer and more realistic & possibly even more efficient as you could AoE clumps down rather than having to poly 3-4 mobs and kill 1 by 1. You would start with smaller clumps but as your gear grows your clumps could grow. With a Tank you can still poly some if/as needed and your keeping the non-poly mobs at bay is more conducive for single player play.

Alright, guess ill keep going the way i am. A video would be awesome if you get the time. Did things get a lot better with mortal strike?

So far I am lvl 21 almost 22, I have 4 human mages 1 human priest, I have wiped 3 times in Dead Mines, but i have been able to get to the final boss with my team. So far comparing to my melee team, this is much easier and I can see some awesome potential with the team.

[smk]

I am definitely having issues with alliance mages, I am guessing it is easier, with horde, I always find Dead Mines to be a pain in the ass.

Deadmines is a giant trash heap of an instance.
