vaeevictiss 17 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 As a warlock...i feel i shouldnt be here haha. But alas, i do have a question. We have a mage that normally does...decent...dps. Not great, not horrible. Certainly not topping meters such as myself (ok ok ill stop before you dont help me, we have a very good mage in our runs also). Anyway, on Garrosh he is assigned to the engineer. Because of this, his damage is really low...like tank low. here is one log from last night http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/anc9xwypcbpqg0e3/sum/damageDone/?s=7992&e=8485 his name is Thphoeus and he is sitting between our two tanks Valteas and Halivor. I understand that running back and forth in P1 killing the eng. hurts dps...but that is only in P1. thanks for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horcored 17 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Well, i cant really help your mage out, but i'll ask something still that u can keep in mind for later. Why would you send a mage, which can do little to no dmg on the move to kill the engeneer, when u got a hunter and a lock which loses little to no dmg while moving? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akraen 230 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Don't assign a mage to the engineer! How cruel, how heartless, how awful. Seriously. Why would you put the guy who can't move while doing DPS on the engineer? Send a hunter or lock out there FFS! /glare PS: more helpful post incoming, had to unleash the rage in defense of all mages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vaeevictiss 17 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 haha thanks. Our hunter was actually doing it when we first started Garrosh...not sure why she stopped. Ill bring it up again this weekend lol. I dont have a problem doing it either as a lock...was just never asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akraen 230 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 I swear to you he's losing 40k dps by being on the engineer. That's about the meanest thing a raid leader could ever do to a mage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynx 19 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 There are ways to cope with eng duty for a frost mage, like orbing into the adds and using lances on the engineer. But yeah, even 40k loss is generous for that specific duty. I'm not one to run away from raid duties, for instance I have no problem doing belts (which I generally do). But that specific task is so much mage unfriendly... I did it only once and hated every second of it, even with all the movement perks added (double blinking, long blinking, bs, banking as many instants as I could). Fire mage might have an easier time with that, but still I think it would be quite unpleasant for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
