Warrior Vs Frost mage... HOW?!

[matthewh133]

Hey guys, I am having a really big problem with frost mages as a warrior. I charge, I get nova'd/frozen in place, they go to cast, I use spell reflect, I charge again, they again freeze me in place, cast cast, that hurt! I charge again, i'm frozen, spell reflect, etc etc until eventually I am killed. Now, basically what I'm asking is how the #(%@ do you kill a mage when he can just freeze you in place at pretty much any stage, and then even when you get out you still have a slowing debuff on you. I just can't get enough time to kill them before I am frozen solid and they blink again.

Enlighten me as to some strats and what I am doing wrong. Pretty much any other class I have no issues with..

Use intercept.

[matthewh133]

When I say charge I am including intercept.

use some lube on your anus to make it less painful. Seriously if the frost mage knows what he is doing you are screwed period end of story.

It's a good idea to keep rend up on him, that's a start since you won't be able to get close for attacks, whenever you are close the first thing you should do is rend.

This video may be a little dated, but it should help a little bit.

start wit itercept, hamstring, rend, spell reflect if you gt frozen, save 1 of your charge/intercepts for if he blinks..th way if your arms you can charge bladestorm...if your prot you have lots of silences & CC..if your furious then i hope you it in the bum :P

so here it is, he is playing as he is designed; stay away from the Big Bad Plate guy right there trying to hack you in twain with his gigantic FF-esque 2h weapon. and you are there eating frostbolts to the face, whatever will you do when a heroic casting class is released? while that amuses me, ill throw you a bone here and try to help you out;

If a mage is wrecking you, its time to go back to basics, may i suggest reading your ability tooltips to learn what they do?

[matthewh133]

yeah i'm arms, thanks for the replies so far

thanks mate, really enlightening

[geonexus]

That video is out dated a bit to much. If a frost mage is fighting you now and he has really good pvp gear you are probably screwed if he has any clue as to what he is doing. Sad but true.

If the mage is retarded the warrior cannot win.

not really.

[Tolami]

never charge at the start of combat, run to him and apply hamstring, if he freezes and runs, he wont get far, if he blinks, you charge. Keep hamstring up at all times and just faceroll him.

Sometimes there are difficulties:

On a more serious note, people who say warriors don't have ANY chance against frost mages are living in TBC. I'd say rogues have it worse.

That was amusing.
Note to self: sit deep freeze for 2 sec, THEN trinket it.

Seems some good advice from that vid, hopefully it wasn't just a cry for attention

While that is true, a mage still shouldn't lose to a warrior, save for retarded RNG losses (dropping to 40% in the intercept stun)

Frost Mage = Paper
Warrior = Rock

The answer is right there..

[Pingu]

Unless you're a protection Warrior, It's a sad case of rock paper scissors. However I'm not saying it is not possible to win, just the situation given is in a Frost Mage' favor.

If you are that desperate to defeat a Frost Mage 1vs1. Going protection is the answer. That spec is a caster EZmode
