119 mage for pvp

how do mages do in the 119 bracket in bgs? Was thinking about fire?

Also if not mage what other classes are recommended? Also is it still do able to think for bgs without the 330-340 anni gear?

Thanks
 
fire is actually rly good, theres a difference between having full 310 and 330/340 ofcourse but the difference between lvlers and 310 is bigger then 310 and 330/340. my rogue with anni gear actually gets outbursted by a fire mage with full tw gear for example

Unless you do what 99% of fire mages do and just spam greater pyro. Then the damage is exactly the same (up to 35% max hp) regardless of ilvl. Fire mages are actually a huge threat to twinks. You got 100 k hp? Whelp that ilvl 240 mage is going to gp you for 35 k dmg lol
 
difference between a fire mage spamming greater pyro and 1 using actual spells with full tw gear is rly big, that is if ur not braindead :)
 
Here is the breakdown from 110 arcane standpoint which I’m sure isn’t too much different from 119:

1) Have a 1.5 minute cooldown on use trinket to match up with your arcane power cooldown

2) Have your 2nd trinket option be a chance on hit trinket. (Goes without saying because if you had two on use trinket, one would put the other on cooldown)

3) Have arcane pressure x2, hell, x3 if you can get it in all 3 of your 300 pieces (I didn’t do it right so I go Arcane pressure x2 galvanized spark x1)

4) OPTIONAL: Have saltwater on deck for burst moments. There is one class that can make very good use of this pot and that’s mage to line up with arcane power and on use trink

TRIPLE SYNERGY BRA!!

5) Don’t think just cuz this is a higher lvl bracket and burst is crazy, that you can dps your way to victory. Still need to sheep, and be tactile against other twinks. Tbh the twink pressence is the best part about thins bracket. I hate it otherwise.

6) Flag carry in games with flag objectives! Yes you heard me correctly. Chrono shift is one of the most godly OP talents for arcane. Abuse it, live it, love it.

Veech out
