Hi People, This is my first WoW Video. Im waiting on a 1TB External Hard Drive so i can record WoW Video's. This is just to test recording and editing. And to show how OP Protection Warriors are. Please comment on what could be better regarding Editing/Quality of Video. Subscribe for upcoming Video's of PVP. Thanks :)

Was also a fun Duel ^^

Watch in 720p and Please like on the YouTube Link if you enjoyed it :)

WoW [MOP] 5.2 - Protection Warrior vs Frost Mage - YouTube
 
the macro is frostbolt POM frostfire bolt ;)

only thing you can do on mage tbh that deals high damage... i shouldnt have blinked at the end and i would have won xD ah well, this vid is for the video'ing purposes
 
Sheep him off his mount
Frostbolt
He's probably going to charge now
Blink the Warbringerstun
Pet Freeze (macro /petpassive)
Frostbolt Shattter
If timed right, you can get off another Frostbolt.
Frost Nova (macro /petpassive again)
Frostbolt

Cycle reset. When he Shadowmelds, just range him so he just can't charge again right away. Keep moving away. If he trinkets, just keep running. But whatever you do, never ever Blink a non-Charge.

yeah i normally do that rotation, as i said i was just testing for recording quality and editing, not a proper duel :) (and it was a bit laggy for me aswell) not to make excuses xD il be posting some proper videos soon dw :)
 
try these macros with your pet always on passive:

/cast frostbolt
/petattack

/cast freeze
/petfollow

/cast frost nova
/petfollow

Hi there,

i didnt play a f2p mage yet. Just back in vanilla.

Is there any reason for not using "Fireblast". I mean it's clear that you dont want to break nova.

e.g. @ 0,08 or @ 0,24after the blink while moving away from him or @ 0,17 before FN (While he is still under the slowing effect of frostbolt).

You don't need to cast /petfollow after Freeze if your pet's always on passive, it won't trigger an attack, it would be better to just generally try to include your /petattack, /petfollow, /petmoveto into macros. Ofc, if your pet's already attacking your opponent, your macros might be useful, but I like to have everything done by myself, so I get to chose whether my pet's attacking, following etc.



My personal macros:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Frostbolt
/petattack [mod:alt]

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Frost Nova
/petfollow [mod:alt]

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Fire Blast
/petmoveto [mod:alt]

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Polymorph
/cast [mod:alt] Freeze(Pet Ability)



First one is actually a lie, as I have macro'd my frostbolt to hit my pet either when I have myself or a friendly target targeted, but I'm too lazy to think of how I exactly wrote it (it's something along the lines of [help][@pet]). Ofc, this is just my personally preference (Frostbolt on '1', Nova on '2', Blast on '3' and Poly on '4' which is easy to use with ALT for me)
All of these can be used for any class with a pet (ofc with different abilites bound, like Arcane Shot for hunters or Shadowbolt for Warlocks) also, if you use the '?'-macroicon it will show the cooldown on Freeze (or your hunter pet's ability) if you press ALT.


If anyone got more questions, just send me a PM, I'll try to answer anything about mages I know :p

the pet will be attacking cuz of the /petattack in the FB macro, and if its not attacking it don't do anything. honestly i have never had it go wrong.

and my poly macro is:

/cast [nomod] polymorph
/cast [mod:shift,@focus] polymorph

You obviously didn't read my macro...

/cast [NOMOD] Frostbolt
/petattack [MOD:ALT]

My pet won't do anything if I don't press alt...

and if its not attacking it don't do anything. honestly i have never had it go wrong.

I never said it would go wrong, but I like to be able to tell my pet exactly what to attack or when to follow me. Nothing else...

and my poly macro is:

/cast [nomod] polymorph
/cast [mod:shift,@focus] polymorph

I have enough keybinds to just use a /cast [@focus] Polymorph for focus-poly, just as for my focus-cs.
 
And to show how OP Protection Warriors are.

WoW [MOP] 5.2 - Protection Warrior vs Frost Mage - YouTube

Ah... is it even worth my time completely and uderly (would be rudely) discrediting this... no. Just going to point out that warrior (specifically protection) has been only "op" (calling warriors op atm is laughable), where as pallys and hunters have been op since well... since I started playing. Look at it from the warriors point of view also... the mage has 2 freezes... a blink... a trinket... and whatever talent you have (you seem to be using Presence of Mind, which seemed entirely wasted in this video)... meaning that you can indefinetly kite the warrior if you know what you are doing, as he only has a 20 second cd Charge... which by happen stance is 5 seconds less of a cd than Blink...

It was a good video however, good recording/ music and enjoyable to watch. I know a frost Mage on one of my xrealms and when we duel we are normally trading off wins in any spec I use on my warrior.
