True Confessions of a Frost Mage

[VoiceMan]

I am always a bit reluctant to chime in on threads that deal with tactics and possible causes of wipes, as I'm still very new, and still learn a lot each week. However, I can't help but say, that I was present during that Princess run in Maraudon with Magead, and from my perspective, your mage play was excellent. The whole issue of out of healing range, and the subsequent challenges that followed, to me were simply a miscommunication. Teamspeak helps with alot of that, but won't prevent all of them. I didn't see your mage do anything that alarmed me. As for the yelling from folks such as Vor_Lord and Bonemage...well, I'm their older brother in real life, and I know them well enough to know that they're just excitable people. And believe me, they hold themselves to higher standards of play than anyone else. They are very demanding of themselves first and foremost. So while things get exciting at times on TS, it's usually just the emotion of the game fight in progress, and not a direct attack upon you or anyone else.
On a more personal note, I would not be anywhere near where I am in game if it weren't for Alram. I showed up with some good solid advice from my brothers before starting the game, but due to vastly different schedules, I wasn't able to group with my brothers much until we started SM. I took a hunter from scratch to nearly 57 in a matter of 3 months, and I never would have been able to do that without the help of Alram. In the same time frame, I've also taken a warlock to 27, a druid to nearly 32, and another warlock to 21. Alram has become my main duo'ing partner. Our "Dreaded Druid Brothers" are indeed to be feared. We simply run amuck and stomp the Alliance when we're together in WSG. :P I've had limited experience in PUG's myself, as I've been very spoiled, but the few experiences I have had have taught me that I don't want to be in a PUG most of the time. Our horde Terenas guild plays well, I think. Yes, we're pretty structured and precise in how we do things, but that fits my personality, and also fits with my brothers, as we're all cut from the same cloth. It has a tendency to make us rather strict about party play, but probably because most of the time in a five man group, three of us are related and of like mind, so it tends to be the dominant thought process. Having said all of that, in a round-about way, I'm merely saying that I would take you Alram in a group with me any day, any instance, with any of your characters. I know my brothers and I make suggestions on what character ought to be played in a given group, but I also know them well enough to know that it's just a suggestion, not a direct order. :) We're priviledged to have you part of our weekly group, and in our brotherly discussions regarding the game, we're all in agreement. "We NEVER have to worry about the play of Alram". For that matter, we really don't worry much about the play of anyone in our guild. Our Horde Terenas Lurker group may not be huge, but we are all pretty darn good players, IMO. :) Just my two cents worth, if my opinion is worth even that much. :P
