    Mage Achievements

    *This isn't an actual upcoming feature, it's just for fun*

    Imagine if, in the next expansion, Blizzard decide to add class-specific achievements. Perhaps with a meta that unlocks a thematic title if you complete all of the ones for one class, like "Archmage <name>" for instance. What kind of achievements do you think Mages would be able to do?
    Here are some of my ideas:

    Magical Menagerie:
    Collect every variant of the Polymorph spell.

    The Great Escape:
    Survive damage exceeding twice your maximum health with Greater Invisibility.

    ...And You'll Miss Me:
    Cover a total distance of 10,000 yards with Blink.

    Infrequent Flyer:
    Take six different portals within two minutes.

    Gathering Power:
    In the Arcane specialisation, use Evocation in the following locations:
    Dalaran Crater, The Eye of Eternity, The Maelstrom, The Nexus, The Sunwell, Theramore

    Watch the World Burn:
    In the Fire specialisation, have Combustion active on 6 or more targets simultaneously.

    Mine is Stronger:
    In the Frost specialisation, have your Water Elemental deal the killing blow to Ragnaros.

    I Spent Four Years in Magic School:
    Generously grant 40 unique characters use of your portals.

    Inner Turmoil:
    Win a duel against another player while borrowing their appearance with the Illusion glyph, and using Mirror Image.

    I'm No Chicken:
    Cast Slow Fall within three feet of the ground to prevent a deadly fall.

    Back In My Day:
    "Accidentally" kill a party member through use of outdated portals.

    And of course:

    Talented:
    Spend a total time of more than one hour in combat stood inside a Rune of Power.

    Got Cold Feet
    Spend a total of 10 minutes inside Ice Block

    Wouldn't be hard to implement, wouldn't get added either 'all dev time is taken up doing...' :P

    It's a nice idea, like how TF2 has class achievements. I'd like dis.

    I wouldn't call Ancient Dalaran "outdated". It's new as of MoP Also, that Slow Fall achievement is impossible, since the game goes by yards, and there's no way anyone has good enough latency (or reflexes!) to cast it at 1 yard from the ground. Maybe 10 yards or so? Still some great, fun, ideas you have there, Nick!

    Here's some of the ones I came up with. Will add more over time!

    One with Nature... Mage Nature
    Use your Illusion glyph on the following races and transformations: Worgen/Tauren (based on faction), Pandaren, Cat Form, Bear Form, Moonkin form, Treant form, Tree of Life, Travel form, Flight form, and Ascendance (any).

    And They Called it "Passive"
    Cast 5 Arcane Barrages, Pyroblasts, or Frostfire Bolts while your Incanter's Floes stack is at 5, without a single one being cast on another number.

    Knocked-Up Knockup (alt name: Air Juggle)
    Using Mage allies and Supernova, keep at least 10 enemies in the air for 7 seconds.

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEZE!
    Freeze enemies for a cumulative total of 30 minutes using any of the following spells: Frost Nova, Ice Nova, Deep Freeze, Freezing Grasp (L45 talent choice), and Water Elemental's Freeze. Only one enemy frozen by each spell will count towards this achievement.

    Too Much Power
    Expend a cumulative total of 1000 Arcane Charges. Letting Arcane Charges fall off does not count.

    Baron Geddon's Disciple
    Defeat at least 10 enemies with a single Living Bomb explosion.

    (semi-alt to above because I liked this idea too much lol)
    You Have Raided Molten Core, Right?
    Damage at least 6 players with a single Living Bomb explosion, including the Living Bomb target.

    Zero to Fifty in Under a Second
    Defeat 5 enemies with a single Arcane Barrage after casting Arcane Orb at 0 Arcane Charges.

    And They Said Arcane Wasn't Mobile
    Cast the following spells at least 10 times while moving within 15 seconds, without ever stopping your movement: Arcane Blast, Arcane Barrage, Arcane Orb, Supernova.

    They Never Expect the Second Interrupt
    Interrupt at least 50 spells from being cast by using Dragon's Breath. Interrupting players in PvP combat do count towards this achievement.


    Then we have two joke achievements:

    Following the Roller Coaster Trend
    Swap your specialization to the highest simulated spec within a week of the new patch coming live for every patch of a single expansion.

    Talents: All About Choice
    In a single raid lockout on any difficulty (even LFR), swap your L75, L90, and L100 talents to the absolute best choices on every fight.

    Will post more as I think of more! On vacation atm, so I'm just doing this while I'm waiting for the day to start
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    I call it "outdated" because you learn the spell from an old book that was written before Dalaran had moved, so the Portal still goes to where it used to be :P
    I did want some achievements related to Living Bomb (who doesn't love that spell?) but couldn't think of any that weren't just the same as the Combustion one. Those should do.

    Ahh okay, makes a lot more sense now.

    Huzzah! *bow*

    It's hard for me to think of Living Bomb and not think of Baron Geddon, so I at least tried to come up with some humorous references to him. I blame the Kormrok trash mobs having a Living Bomb that also has the swirls; it's impossible to NOT think of him when seeing that!

    Definitely will try to have more fun or humorous achievement ideas in the future

    - Make 100 people fall to their death using the old Dalaran portal

    - Make so much food that you have enough to solve world hunger

    - Polymorph so frequently that you make a completely new 'Old McDonald had a farm' song

    - Ice block so much that you are now entitled to a title called 'Cold as ice, but not willing to sacrifice'

    I hope this doesn't come in any way because some of this would be a huge grind in the ass.
    Beside this its just hilarious:

    My heart is to hot for ice:
    Cancel Iceblock 0.5 seconds after casting Iceblock as Firemage.

    I have servants for the stupid things:
    Let your waterelemental kill 100 mobs without yourself casting any spell.

    Mana is this misterious blue ...
    Fight for 10 minutes as arcane without going under 90% mana

    I can blink... but there is no world:
    Blink under a staircase, worldglitch etc and get a disconnect

    I can blink nearly everywhere:
    Blink for 0 meter.

    U want summon? Why no go Stonard?
    Cast a Portal 5 yards beside a Summoning Portal.


    As reward for anything i want:
    New Spell: Portalroulette. U create a chaotic portal which brings the user to any portlocation u know.
