Quote:Hence why I said if I get my charge off<_<Charge counters Blink, Intim Shout counters FNova, dead Mage. Snares don't matter sh*t to me due to Hamstring and Piercing Howl. Short of a root or Blink, Mages can't get away from me.Bad mages still. A frost mage has at least 2 more tricks up his sleeve than you: Iceblock, Freeze (pet's frost nova), + cold snap which means he gets both of those twice if necessary. Plus if his ice shield is up (which it will be on a good mage), your source of rage is charge + bloodrage, and then nothing else till you beat through the shield (which will be the 2nd hit at earliest), so I'm not sure how you can burn 25 rage on intimidating shout (and have enough for hamstring/piercing howl). Also, a mage can sometimes get the blink off before you get your snare in (and I think that will be outside the PH range).
And if the mage has the initiative (i.e. polymorph or the 6s cast spell), they can burst you from full to dead before you can get to them.
