Me getting owned.
 

I thought some of you other WoW players might like to see some pictures i got of me getting owned in TM.

Next time, try ice block; it's great at removing those annoying DOTs.

Who the fuck is Silver Storm. Yay for random shit guilds!

If only I was there :( hehe.

Maybe you didn't notice what level he is.

If you read the chat it's kinda funny. I asked him if they are all one guild and he said "Don't think so."

I don't even know why he was bothering to fight them, if they were all 60s anyway.

He has a disturbed sense of humor. He thought it was hilarious.

No, I did notice. You can get Ice Block at lvl 30.

How many mages do you know that went pure frost spec from the start? There are a few Arcane talents that are pretty sweet for those levels, and any mage that doesn't get Improved Arcane Explosion ASAP is insane. Just about every mage I've ever played with went arcane/fire until 60. The only exception I can think of to that is if a mage is AOE built which would mean arcane/frost(at least if they are smart) which I did until 50, and then I went to arcane/fire until 60. Now I'm arcane/frost again.

When I was level 30ish grinding off of hillsbrad turtles while world pvp was still around, Id shoot the alliance that attacked TM. Fun times. Fun hks.

Yeah KA it was just for amusement the fact that there were so many alliance it was just rediculous. It was actually semi fun just to rez and spam some IAE then die again. Cool thing was that eventually some horde guys came from UC and owned the shit of the these guys.

That really isn't that many alliance. Maybe now that world PVP is ruined it seems like that's a lot, but back when there were no battlegrounds, you'd have a raid or two harassing TM most of the time.

What does that mean, World PvP is ruined?

Well the rewards from Battlegrounds have made world PVP pointless. I would literally have to world PVP all day to get the same honor I get from a single BG, plus with BGs you get rep with the factions from those BGs which gets you phat lewt. Basically world PVP is limited to ganking now, since there's no point in doing anything else. I remember back before BGs there would be a raid on kargath pretty often, and I've yet to see a SINGLE raid on kargath since I started up again. Civilians also ruined world PVP, because if you've got anyone in your party/group that doesn't understand to NOT KILL CIVILIANS then you get dishonorable kills which ruin your honor as well. It's simply easier to queue up for a battleground, and if you're wanting to achieve any of the higher ranks, there's no other way do to it.

Improved Arcane Explosion is overrated, Ice Block owns too much to pass up getting it ASAP. I know several mages that went full frost at 40, put the next 11 points in arcane, then the rest in frost. I have actually leveled up a mage full frost through the low levels, it's not that bad, really.

Frost is not as useful until you've got the gear at 60 to support the build. At lower levels it doesn't match up to fire. I've never put more than 21 points into arcane, and even now I'm something like 16/35 arcane/frost. IAE is definately not overrated, if you plan on doing any sort of PVP it's required, and usually if a mage is in a run to AOE, IAE is pretty much required as well. Sometimes I forget it normally has a casting time because I've had it instant ever since I could. Since, like I said before, I AOE grinded my way to level 50, IAE was a must for me. I've heard people say they AOE grind without IAE, and I don't think it would be at all hard, but any GOOD mage has evocation, and on the way to evocation they should pick up IAE anyway.

Simply put, there's absolutely no point in going full frost just to get Ice Block at lower levels, it's not worth the severe DPS loss, even if it IS a good talent(which I agree with, it's probably one of the best mage talents). The only exception to this is the common arcane/frost AOE build, I do indeed remember picking up Ice Block in my late 40s I believe, after going 16 into arcane and the rest into specific frost talents that are beneficial to AOEing. There's no way I could have lived without Improved Arcane Missiles or Improved Arcane Explosion or Evocation at lower levels, and clearcasting is a definate bonus. As it is currently, I can severely turn the tides in a battle, evocation is a LIFESAVER. I can evocate and bandage and I'm back to nearly full health and mana.

Well tidus atleast they didnt fuck with u.
I had 5 lvl 60's just fuck with me for 30 mins.
they wouldnt kill me they just use some kind of stun or polymorph on me and just mess with me and wouldnt let me leave.

I do that to lowbies sometimes, I can usually keep a lowbie polymorphed for a couple of minutes total.

It took forever to get away.
That would be the worst moment on WOW for me.

Thats almost as fun, as lowering some lowbies health and letting a mob finish them off.
