A Guide to Mages comment thread

It is very frustrating to me when I see this situation and there is a mage around not removing those curses.

Thankfully I have not run into this often partying with Lurkers such as Skan and Lochnar but I still think that when you revise this for higher levels it is important to point out the usefulness of remove curse as curses become more common (and hurt a lot more).

My connection has been down for the last 24 hours so I'm trying to get through the Lounge quickly to get to WoW to get my fix and get rid of these awful withdrawal symptoms. Even so, I need to add a couple points about remove curse. I appreciate the comment about us using our ability. It may, at times, seem we are not doing as well as we can. There are a couple reasons for this. Realize that we are often channeling a spell. This means we need to let it finish before we can remove the curse, once we have noticed it. BTW, is there any way, such as an addon, to flash some notice in the middle of the screen that a party member has been cursed? Also, there are often times where I am trying to remove a curse and the cursed player runs out of range. I then have to chase them to get to where I can remove it. Also, if I know the curse is short lived and about to expire, I will not bother to take the time and mana to remove the curse that will dispel in about the same time anyway.
