Exactly, if you think you're going to lose, you can always just run.

HKS, it's not all theorycraft. I've killed many mages in group fights, and I've killed several 1v1. When it comes down to it though, a good mage will always beat an equally skilled/geared warrior. It's just a matter of not doing something dumb. If you're a frost mage, the warrior will never even be in striking range, if you're fire/arcane, you'll be able to kill him so fast after you sheep him that it's not a worry. The two talisman trinkets just seal the deal, they arent even necessary.

a warrior with epic weapon from MC can 2 shot a mage... charge, hit, MS

We downed nefarion a couple of weeks ago :)

I find that mages are definately powerful, and shouldn't really lose to a warrior 1 vs 1. Although, if they are both geared from MC and BWL it will be a close match if the warrior isn't protection specc'd. Shadow Priest > Mage :P

Bullshit. Sorry.

For what it's worth, a mage without access to MC can pvp. With the blue pvp set you'll have ~4000 hp, with the purple one you'll have ~4700 hp.

I have no reason based on your points in this thread to believe you are even a half decent player. You sound like the type that complains that paladins are overpowered.

hmmm my priest with full devout and good misc gear has 2800 hp un buffed.... and to my knowledge mages dont have a STAM buff.

warriors are all gear kthx

i seen a mage with 1/2 arcanist down a warrior to around 200hp left with full might + sulfurus and the warrior 2 hit him rofls

Rofl

Your gear is horrible, that's why your opinion is skewed. It's MUCH easier for me to murder a priest than a mage, as a warrior. Hell, I was MS/fury spec and I could kill a priest with two daggers.

My 5 point coldblood evis was only able to damage this mage to around half the hp of this PVP mage. (He had like 4k hp with the PVP gear.) There was no way I could kill him even when I used preparation to pull out another 5 point CB eviscerate.

PVP gears add shitloads of hp.

I could one shot that.

With Lifegiving gem and the pvp trinket, a warrior would destroy the mage. Improved intercept, and with beserker rage = gg.

LOL

How many warriors have improved intercept? Seriously kid, go back to mah-jjong

warriors can 2 shot all caster classes. if they get two lucky crits. ive done it many times.

Maybe if you're fighting shitty casters with 2800 hp like the above poster.

Uh, ALOT of warriors.
With PvP trinket, imune to slowing effects. WIth lifegiving gem gives them 15% of their total health back and increases health by 15%.

Charge, hamstring, mage will blink, intercept, mage will ice nova, PvP trinket. If mages try to sheep, warriors pummel and then execute and GG/

I personally have no problem fighting warriors. I am a Shadow / Disc Priest. I have Prophecy and Trans pieces. only have around 4200 life buffed and around 9000 mana (more than the average bear). If I am fighting a warrior MC & BWL geared, I just have to kite them as best I can. If they get the charge off on me it's almost GG me, if they don't get a charge / intercept off, no contest for me. Hunters are a bitch for me for the most part now though.

anyone know when patch 1.9 is coming out? and if they are going to allow character account/server transfers soon?

Yep, HKS is correct. That lifegiving gem is fucking annoying against a mage. I have both trinkets/AP and my frostbolts do about 2800+ and still MS warrior duels goes 50/50 for me . Only class that gives mages' problems 100% of the time though is a warlock.

1.9 info http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/

Just so you know, HKS was talking about warriors with improved intercept. You can't have improved intercept AND mortal strike. You have to pick one or the other.

Mortal strike > improved intercept. I've never lost to a warrior that doesn't have mortal strike. Fury warriors hit me for nothing...

What usually works out is that Mages rape warriors that are NOT fury/arms spec.

But a good fury/arms warrior with trinkets should be able to beat the mage in a duel.

For pvp situational, it would go to whoever spots who first.
