Mage Talent

[Phillem]

For premading situations what would be the best mage talent?

I was thinking POM for the instant poly on the healers but I can see the other two talents being useful as well. Thanks for your time

Icefloes could also be great for an encounter that offers LoS'ing or just kiting.

 

[Phillem]

That's what I was thinking as well. But I can see blazing speed along with blink coming in handy for repicks/catching EFC.

And also so I don't have to start a new thread. What should I use for boots? Walking boots or spidersilk? Also I have a nobles robe. Is that better than BOA chest (2 crit vs 3 stam). Thanks again!

Walking boots/ Noble Robe for sure, premade is all about trust your healers and deal hard.Blazing Speed dominate outrageously the 2 others talents in premade, mainly for escaping a huge burst.

ice flows is getting buffed in 5.4, going to be nice.

Speedr for now, Ice Floes next patch.

Imo for premading you're not going to need blazing speed as you'll be at maximum range from the opposing team's rdps anyways, blink will be enough to get out of range from surges.

Either pom for pom poly on heals, pom arcane blast for dps burst or ice flows, but again you shouldn't need to really cast on the run (no mdps to kite, you should be within about 30 yards of efc anyways who has low mobility so he shouldn't range you in pushing for efc)

blazing sped or icyfloes on pushs in midfights it gives the mage more utilityz because the enemys are running away so u often have to position urself where they wont range u in ur 1cast, blazing speed nova the mass n if u have 4stak just big dick everywhere, icyflowz pushing for ffb on healers or juicy killtargs, pom is kinda useless besides the ooOoooOOOOOOoo more dmg or insta pom on a healer that shouldnt be in range of a pom anyways

I still enjoy using pom in pugs but I dont think it would be too useful in a premade. Blazing speed makes it too easy to range burst

EFCs don't usually die until 10 stacks and are pushed back into their GY (or the entire team collapses on them)

But I see your points and they are very valid.
