Quote: You have the disadvantage of casting times on your fear spells but you still have both fear and Howl of Terror to useDefensive Cast time = interrupted and dead.
Quote:Mages are stuck sheeping one and then trying to nuke the other one (or more)
Stuck? Hardly. You chose the wrong class to pick as 'defenseless'. Frost nova, Blink, Cone of Cold, Ice barrier, need I go on? They have about a dozen escape options.
Quote:No caster will win a 1v3 and it takes a lot of skill/luck to win a 1v2
I see mages/priests win 1v3 all the time. Heck, even I've won 1v3 when I'm not ambushed. Maybe its because you're on a PvE server?
Quote: because that is our only trick.
Let's see... 10% stun on shadow spells, PW:Shield, scream, mind flay, mana burn.. Heck. shield/scream, self-heal is enough!
Quote:If you are talking about large scale PvP you should have someone protecting your casters.
All "shoulds" are wasted in first contact with the enemy.
Quote:If the rogue gets a stun off that gives you plenty of time to cast a fear and get into your routine.
Not going to happen. We're stunned at range for large scale PvP. Need I list all the ranged stun skills? Hunter concussion, Shadowpriest spells, Paladin hammer, etc. Then there are all those snares...
Quote:Once again, if a single target (remember, diminishing returns only works if you are recasting on a single target)
Only one target matters at a time. They'll chase you down, and the fear will break from them being attacked, or dotted, or dispelled, etc.
Quote:and you need to keep it perma-feared
Impossible. Immune after 3rd fear.
Quote:you are probably overmatched in numbers
Oh sure, blame others for my nerfs.
Quote:Kill one while fearing another.
Doesn't work that way. Have to concentrate on the feared target that he doesn't resist early or dispelled.
Quote:Yes, my PvP experience is limited,
No arguement there. I don't need to convince you. Get out there, get your ass whooped, and then I'll listen one whit further.
