Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
Mythic+ Dungeon Adjustments - 27 April
Trying to think positively why World of Warcraft has fewer players than before.
MMO-Champion
So, tonight we're running with two fire mages on Cho'gall. Our p1 DPS is fine, bloods are dying etc. but the problem is, our mages are out of mana for phase two so the adds in that phase aren't dying and we don't have enough damage on the boss. Has anyone else had this problem with their mages? If so, what did you do to fix it?
Lineup: [for those curious]
Prot War
Tank Druid
Fire mage x2
Frost DK
Hunter
Cat Druid
Holly Pally/Priest
Resto Shaman

Are they spamming flamestrike? I don't see how they'd go OOM on that fight otherwise. How many big adds are you seeing?

Tell them to use mage armor for the fight, sure its a bit less dps, but itl give them alot of mana, and when you get into final phase, they can always switch armors

They will oom if they are primary blood dps. Just make them switch to mage armor (reason its free now) between add phases so that p2 dps can be good.

We see 4 big adds and dps comfortably so no 5th shows up. And I'm not totally sure what they're doing to the bloods, I stare at boss ass a lot.

Are you killing the fourth add? Even if you are, I'm assuming they're spamming flamestrike. Mage armor would be one fix, but they shouldn't need it. They can use all three charges of their mana gems and evocate twice on that fight.

If all else fails why not just bring along a bunch of mana potions?

Why ask for tips if you're just gonna "pass" on them. :/ Originally Posted by saeco

Passing them on means giving them to the mages.

the totem is based on the shaman's spirit not your own so they get plenty of mana back... Originally Posted by Viros

What's the missing class in your lineup? I'm guessing a healer of some kind.
Also are others helping with killing the adds? Our 10m have no problems killing the adds, but we normally have 1 mage and a warlock or 2 mages and me as a Shadowpriest helping with the AoE and often a hunter as well. Usually this blows them up easily, but if not others help out as well and it seems to work fine for us. I can't say I know exactly what our mages are doing since I focus on my own stuff when things are going smooth, but I have never heard them complain about mana before.Last edited by jinxx; 2011-03-20 at 09:37 AM.
