You've played mage as of the writing of this, so would you ever consider updating it to include some mage point of view tips as well?

Zats has left (please come back :( ), but i'm sure the community can help answer your question balls.

I'm just curious. And I'm pretty sure he'll lurk the forums at some point :P

can you ask more specifically because im too lazy to make a whole guide
you just need to play alot of games to know what to do in every situation, cause its all about timing and not wasting cds and mana, and blizzard and poly spam. use r1 on whatever spells it is useful, bind focus poly on an easy spammable bind (mine was mouseweel up).
Peeling is very obvious, poly, r1 nova, cone of cold and blizz, you cant fail at it aslong as u have enough exp, its not like peeling as rogue in pr or smth, its alot chiller game
And so is bursting(very obv) as many shatters as you can pull out without canceling frostbolt on every reflect and the rest is fireblast, a scorch or two, missiles and arcane explosion to finish.
What I'm trying to say is that there arent many variations to how you can play as a mage in PM, all you need is perfect timing, you pretty much decide what happens as a mage, priest is forced to follow your decisions. Don't burst at bad spots, make your kill target follow u to an open spot and then burst, track cloak and intervene. poly cyclones. Use spellsteal vs PR if rogue is on you and let your priest spam smite and you lance on frostbite procs. You have 3 schools of magic so you can outsmart people and fake interrupts, like making other mages cs you on fire is total outplay no matter how you look at it. against healer/dps combs just use gem very early and continue using it on cd. you can poly on a dotted target if your priest recasts r1 dot to prevent it for ticking during the polymorph(can save a mage from dying). Dont be inpatient when you are trying to kill, if your burst doesnt start perfectly dont waste any more mana, you gotta be 100% sure you can kill(or force cloak). Take advantage of 8 sec cs when they let you, sometimes I'm on like 2k mana, very desperate, struggling and almost given up and then a retard druid lets me cs on his cyc and gives me a freekill.

Very disorganised information, I know, but I just started writing whatever comes to my mind. Tell me if this was any helpful and if not ask more specifically or idk.

P.S I can give workout tips too
