HB-19 mage twink video

[Hunnybuns]

During the past week, i have been recording numerous games due to all the fun the community has been whipping up in the past few weeks and i have gone back to my past roots as playing a CC frost mage, rather than the face rolling arcane mage Hope you guys enjoy my second video (glad to have new editing system). Laughing Skull FTW! Enjoy!

Im famous now

Nice video, really enjoy watching other mages

Looks like you're a handy mage on D, though I'd suggest you to use yourself of focus-target macros - does work incredibly awesome. Also I think you should add a "stop-casting" to your CS, so you won't have to move every time you want to interrupt someone when for instance casting a frost bolt

Great vid, would love to know the name of the songs you used as well.

edit: too tired and going to bed now, if you want me to I could paste the macros here tomorrow and maybe some addons I consider useful.

Very nice, good CC and you really make the enemy offense have a hard time keeping up with your FC. I wish I always had a frost mage like you on D

 

[Brokeboi]

Reminds me of the good old days when this is all mages were good for.

Appreciating the feedback Hoping to get an arena video out in the near future

Glad to see a fellow frost mage making a video. I thought it was pretty good overall. Besides what others have said, some advice I can offer is using your cc abilities more efficiently, I only saw a few times where you didn't. Try not to use a lot of your cc abilities all at once or nova to cc a person when you could have used CoC to slow because the nova was going to be broken immediately,, which would allow you to still have nova ready to use. Keep up the great work :].

those novas were obnoxious

how does it make you feel to be labeled as the worst positioned rogue in all of the 19 bracket?

You're a fool, my positioning was fine. You can't necessarily predict where a Mage is going to use their pets nova; there's no need to give me grief on that.

Anyways none the less, great video mate!

 

[Karmaz]

these are no highlight clips Ze, you just get swerved all day

 

[Zeiren]

Curley tends to rub off on me; Despite the fact that I play my Rogue once in a blue moon, I'll attempt to try harder thus not making a fool of myself in others' twink videos just for you Derv!

great video, room for improvement but thats the way it is. if i may be so bold as to give a few suggestions:
-toggle "hide mousecursor while recording", it gives for some confusing moments where i'm looking at you changing gearsets and clicking new targets rather than watching you play, just an aesthetic prefference if i may.
-try with some focus macros! these are some of the ones i use:
/focus [Target=Mouseover]
^ sets a focus target on whatever target you have mouseover, letting you spam frostbolt while you set focus on the healer

/clearfocus
^clears focus when moving from one fight to the next that doesn't necessarily involve that player.

/#showtooltip/stopcasting
/cast [modifier:shift, target=focus] SPELL; SPELL
^ i use this for: Polymorph, counterspell, bandages (if you're playing D, it can sometimes be a good idea to keep your fc on focus and use this focus bandaid macro.), it is relevant and vital, being adept at swapping targets only gets you so far :j WARNING: many players prefer to keep these on two seperate buttons which would look like this:

#Showtooltip
/Stopcasting
/Cast [Spell]
-
#Showtooltip
/Stopcasting
/cast [Target=Focus] [Spell]
^ this version with two seperate versions frees up more space for individual binds, without taking up modifier space. (say you have x key bound to shift+4, it doesn't work to have a spell with a shift modifier bound on the regular 4 key then).
i prefer the first version.

playstyle-wise,
-remember to double-poly (start casting the 2'nd polymorph right after the first), this way, any resisted polymorph is still gonna go through, obviously you stop casting if the first isn't resisted! =)
-you seem to be adept at handling rogues, i like how you anticipate the trinket on the pet nova and immediatly novas a second time, however be careful with not just throwing CC at people, use it wisely.
-for the love of god get engineering, herbalism and engineering are the two best proffessions, i cannot stress enough how relevant it is to get a polymorph off without fear of focus Shs etc.

EDIT: completely forgot to complement you!
you're a really good mage and it was a good watch! keep up the good work man, i hope you'd want to send in some footage to That 19's Show, we could use some mage footage! =)
