Party Strategy Guide

I think this brings up a good subject with mages and their AoE attacks, but in this case I think you should look a little closer at the damage outputs and the timing of that damage.

You're right. It does depend on the timing a lot. How antsy is the mage? Can he/she wait a bit or not? I'm very glad you posted about flamestrike vs blizzard. For me, usually flamestrike pulls aggro to me quicker than blizzard does, but that could very well be my playstyle rather than the skills themselves because of the timing of things.

Edit: To anyone else reading this, listen to Ruv about aggro management and mages more than listening to me. I've seen first hand how little his mage draws aggro, even end game. He's got it down quite well. I'm still learning. ;)
