subject: Maxmizing Your Cast Time As A Mage In World Of Warcraft [print this page] Mages are one of the best classes to pick up in World of Warcraft. Like other classes of damage only treating it as hunters, Warlocks and rogues, to develop as a dps as much as possible on a crowd becomes almost a mantra staff gameplay. But over time the Magi can be forced to stop the flow. A hunter can simply jump turn and pull or push an animal on a crowd. A thief can bleed and poison, a sorcerer can damage during the time periods and so of it.Purpose a mage doesn't normally have this luxury. Apart from spotted fire damage a mage is an requiring fixed attacker sitting in one place to cast their most damaging spells. In more difficult content becomes available, high range patterns do area of effect events, more Splash Damage and generally more difficult attacks requiring the mage's out of the way.
Displacement generally equal down time in the casting. Downtime is the time period during which a dps is not damaged a pattern. This is particularly difficult for a mage, because most of their high range spells take time to throw requiring them to not move. But remain in the fire is not particularly healthy to a class wearing only cloth. A player must learn early to stabilize forward in order to maximize their cast time. By optimize, a mage must learn the best ways to get out their damage output as soon as they could. When a patron does not decrease the playing field or cause of the mage spell damage interrupt should enjoy at any time.
Many players tend to simply put their spells on the UI bar in game warm and happy clicking with the mouse. Some are doing well with this method. Many do not. Hot entry, or by using the keys on your keyboard is generally faster than that: you do not need to look at your key to click on memory, the second half is used in drag the mouse on the hot bar ui could be short-circuited by the bottom by pressing a key. A press is ideal for a mage in their player spell rotations.A has a tendency to react more quickly when you use the keys stored. There is nothing worse that being in the middle of a battle PvP and all of a sudden that the placement of the very useful spells on the ui is a sudden mystery due to pressure or for the worst shot of the mouse on wigs raison dirty inside!
This is not just enough to know what fate is and what it does. It is also important to know the exact time of a spell. Many high-end gaming use spell rotations. It is the use of some spells in a certain order for a given situation. Say a mage has the arcane blast and barrage of arcane as a rotation. This rotation is the timely use of 3 shots of arc in a row to win a de-front buff to be followed by an arcane explosion.
Rotations generally requires the calendar, but a mage can also think about other things while doing this as timeouts for the capacity, to what extent they are before the raid and so on. Staring at the bar cast iron can become its own unnecessary distraction. Knowing that fate is 3 seconds compared to 1.5 or same moment can know when to start casting the next spell in the line or when choosing to break a lot easier rotation. Knowing the length cast can also split decision throws more intuitive as in they use only 3 seconds cast instead of an instant cast for this pot turned on a distracted enemy player.
A dps mage mana reserve is their. With no mana, a mage is virtually useless in combat and is a duck sitting at the attackers. A mage with mana tape can still fight. A mage must know how many mana available to them and the timeouts on all materials for restoration of mana at any time. Always be aware of how far down the mana bar is. When to half way down, use a mana gem. Once empty, use evocation.The objective is to never operate vacuum during a fight. Only until a pattern is 35-20% if a mage go to bottom and completely empty their mana bar. But let's say you're in a boss fight where the room is constantly flooded with fire / poison / great circles of death. If a player has to move, they must move intelligently.
A mage being aware of the measure in a crowd, it is to them is still a good line to take. A mage has this sweet spot when a crowd is range of spells so that they can take at the slightest threat of getting hit. But many battles need for a mage to move. As a mage moves they should still expressed. Mages no matter what they are spec, have access to instant spells. A fireball or a dam, or even a spear so weak ice is still the damage on the boss. It is a usually a good idea when running to a new location or advantage to use instant cast spells to keep the pressure on a pattern.
