Oh Lordy, it looks like my attempt at being THE Misleading Mage is being misled by other Mages wanting to prove their power.
Of course those damn hunters may have been wrong… maybe there aren’t just 2 Mage blogs with one being misleading… maybe there are many more but lots of us are misleading.
No wonder I only rate 23rd on this months Misleading Mage charts!
So, rather than what was planned, I present to you the master of the misleading, Rivs of A High Latency Life, with:
Misleading Mage posts:
Importance of Looking Good.
I came to realize there are many challenges that face classes today, for example, Hunters it’s figuring out how to name their pet. It has to be hard otherwise why would there be so many pets named “Spider” or “Cat”. The Mage class is no different, and with so many new races able to become mages, I thought I would share. If your a newly minted mage, or an old timer who seen ICC more then the back of your mouse hand, we have one major obstacle, or challenge if you will.. We need to look good, and being a Mage of the Finest Caliber I am here to help with a few things you could do to help make yourself look good.
1. Pick your gear by the way it looks
We are the pimps, er I mean nobility of the World of Warcraft. If a cloak looks better, and has less Haste on it, by all means wear the sharper cloak. I know PvP gear looks better, screw it keep it on. It has +spellpower on it. Looking Good does not always mean looking pretty, If you’re undead you WANT to look ugly and mean…cause well you are.
2. Corpse Placement
I like to make sure I die away from everyone else, makes me feel special. Corpse piles is something we make, not be a part of.
3. Spells
Always use your flashiest, bestest spells, and always cast Mirror Images as often as you can, because what’s better then one awesome mage, but 4 of you. I like to think I’m part of a show, like fireworks, for the other Raid people. I’m sure their bored out of their mind, and the Mage’s job is to combat boredom, and be the cheerleaders of the Raid. As for Mana, The Blue Mana bar is more of a guideline for us, not the end all be all of our existence..feel free to disregard that…We got wands for a reason.
4 Surround yourself with the Opposite Sex
Cause nothing says successful like having a lot of Hotties around. If your a Girl, just announce you have boobs, and you could shoot your bolts the opposite direction and still be ok.
5. The Attitude to go with the Looks
We are like the Nobility of the World of Warcraft, so act like it. Our Class who rule Dalaran lifted the whole city into the sky dang it….THE WHOLE CITY, what did Warlocks or Hunters do, hell Warlocks are still skulking in the Slaughtered Lamb Pub in Stormwind. Someone dares to ask you for a port. feel free to open one to Stonard, and teach the cur manners. Plate drop, you need the gold too hit need, it’s ok.
6. “You read it somewhere”
It’s ok to be a complete moron, as long as you sound like you know what your talking about. I remember I gave a totally bogus strat, and I just said “I read it somewhere”, and everyone died horribly. I feel that was a major success, they should be honored I opened my mouth at all.
Always remember though, a lot of people can Kill, but no one does it with Style, Pinoche, and Flare like a Mage.
Hey what?
That’s it?
Yeah that’s it… and by that, I mean that’s the last Misleading Mage post… well for now anyway… we need to watch out, those Warlock’s think our attention is turned to the Hunters… luckily our Hunter buddies are tracking those Locks.
Awesome Job Rivs… Honored to have you join me on this sinking ship of Mage Bloggerly (which sounds similar to what I’m going to do to the next Hunter that suggests there are no good Mage blogs around).
Now, tell me… where do I get my Hotties?
Gnomer and Out!
