Just finished DeadMines @ 22 with my team, recorded it and will at some point get it up on youtube.

What AddOn do you use for your party frames?

As i see the power of 4m1p i am not sure you could have done the same thing with only 1 player playing all of them , while you don't have to worry about healing and priest able to kite and kill the mobs alone (because they can only take holy or melee damage). i have run strat with war/priest/sham/2xMage and the only problem was the skelly sience my rotation does not include priest as DPSer (i have an "max dps" key witch includes priest also). Also my gear is far from pre-raid BiS , never played classic wow, heck my total wow experience is under 6mo and thats on BfA ...
Do not compare DAoC with WoW , they are 2 world apart , i have been boxing daoc (read boxing only) for more then 7 years , running 8man party on my own, played couple chars to RR10+ when RPs we're not so easy to make like now so i know what im talking about.
Not having to worry about heals and having an free casting priest is one thing , while having a priest on follow while healing, kiting, shackeling, not pressing heal key / clickbar , not shackeling or dpsing .... is another thing ....
Not underestimating your boxing skills , just saying 4 + 1 outsider is a total different experience then 5 of your own.

For Barazanthul, the party frame is SUF (Shaddowed unit frames)

Cheers !

I wonder how an elemental PvE build would do with 4 mages?

Something like: https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-c...50200102251331

The synergy between improved flamestrike and shatter plus master of elements is pretty nice. You gather everything up and frost nova then cast flamestrike and cone of cold. Flamestrike has a 65% base chance to crit frozen targets which procs ignite -- which will stack 4 times with 4 mages. Then kite for 4 seconds until ignite and the flamestrike burn wear off. Frost nova again and repeat. If played properly the mobs shouldn't even touch you. The cone of cold may even crit with shatter if your connection is fast enough to batch the CoC cast at the end of flamestrike. Huge burst.

Every video I see people are just spamming arcane explosion and barely avoiding dying on a mage or two.

Added benefit of this spec is that you get pyroblast for opening on bosses.

I am pretty sure Bruce Lee (Peregrine) is at least running PyroBlast on his 4Mages+Priest build... Not sure if the rest is Elemental or not. Now that he hit 60 I think he is planning on posting his builds (if he hasn't already) and I think he saves his videos on twitch.

It's an interesting thought.

Cleared deadmines at 18 on my mage team today. Was a bit of a struggle but some of the mobs are 2 levels above me and my characters are half naked so I imagine it will improve. Definitely not as forgiving as my warlocks. One mistake and a mage drops quick. When I get cone of cold at 26 to cycle with frost nova so I can AE kite effectively it will make a huge difference.

Still not 100% convinced that this comp can manage DM but we'll see. If nothing else, it'll be handy to having mages on 4 of my accounts I can summon to provide portals and water for my locks.

I am still testing dungeons but you can check my Lbrs run (Complete) with few wipes as it was my first time running this dungeon.
I did complete Dm E and will post Dm N guide later this week along with other guides (still didn't touch the Strat or Scholo) but I think in a week all complete guide for dungeon will be up on my Yt channel.

Additionally, you can check my twitch dungeon runs.The reason people avoid shatter with fire build is that it's too much hassle for single pack. I literally go to pack ,spam AE for 6 sec, get loot rest go on. With fire, you got to position, cast, nova>repeat>kite. Too much work unless completely melee mobs (then it would work with iceblock pulls). Still, there is a specific satisfaction when you ignite

Saw your BRD run. Can't lie, I was getting a bit agitated watching you standing still and tanking Thaurissan's enrage with your mages.

As a tip, you can polymorph princess so she doesn't kill your healer or heal the emperor. You can also use the platform the boss starts on to force him to path around and not be able to melee you during his enrage. If you use counterspell on the mage you want to dodge with it causes a high amount of threat so you can ensure which mage receives aggro in order to dodge with him.

Might as well kite during this phase since he's immune to magical damage during enrage anyway.

I was just brute forcing it cuz cba doing left n right. I didn't know you can actually poly princess, thought she was immune to poly (not to cs tho). Easiest way for me to just negate any boss in game is to pop invunerability pot and just flex
