Druid PvP Strats and Gear

[Watto44]

On mage range: The only two times I want to be closer to a player than further away are versus a hunter and towards the end of the fight when I'm using CoC, nova+shatter et al to generate burst damage. (Before TBC I would offen risk getting close to demo. loc's to try and hit their pet with CoC/Blast Wave, but that has become less affective as health totals have skyrocketed.:() In essence, that's the mage PvP strat: use range to your advantage as much as you can, understand where you should be in relation to the other player(s) at any given point, and exploit your kiting skills to the best of your ability. (Obviously there are a lot of little tricks that need to be thrown in, but those're the basics as I see them.)

EDIT: Oh, and there's Frost Nova as well, but that's a way of keeping distance.

My favorite mage trick versus druids is using nova to burn their frenzied regeneration.:D(That is, of course, assuming I can live for long enough to make them pop it in the first place.:))

Oh, and one tasty druid trick I just remembered: if you see a mage pop arcane power, chain cyclone him/her for the duration. Always fun and rewarding.:D
