Hey guys

Starting Black Temple for the first time in my new guild. Need advise :p

I'm a Fire mage. Can I do BT as Fire mage or should I respec? I don't have gear for frost so will arcane do instead?

I went from 97th ranked guild on our server to 5th ranked so its a kinda big jump and don't want to screw it up :p

Thanks :D
 
Deep arcane frost seems to benefit the most. Last time I checked, our mages were pushing 1.4k on trash and something like 2.3k on Teron/Shade
 
Fire will be a bit of a disadvantage
Our mages spec basically like Option mentioned^^
 
BT is easy.

1st Boss - get spine, w8 - throw spine
2nd Boss - run and stay out of *****
3rd Boss - Nuke the sides (here you will be used as a mage) then nuke the middle
4th Boss - Play the sim - and hope he doesnt pick you to become a ghost
5th Boss - Do the dance baby
6th Boss - Phase 1 nuke hard, Phase 2 Nuke Harder, Phase 3 Nuke Hard, and hope you get healed when your own crits comes back to bite you in the @ss
7th Boss - Hope your guild has loads of Hearts to make you a full shadow set
8th Boss - Hope your main mage in the guild has good gear and again, stay out of ***** - fire, frost ext
9th Boss - Illi - good luck
 
crud :p I didn't want to respec >.<

Thanks :)

Oh and stfu d3th_n1gG4...I don't play over powered classes :p

Lol - the 1st 3 are easy

4 - 6 is realy not bad if you focus as a team

Mother I would say is easy - i would almost compare her to Loot Reaver (but saying that, its only easy if your team has been here many times and everyone has the shadow gear)

but 8 and 9 is realy hard i think.

I also moved from a guild that had kara on farm to a guild that has MH on farm and bt on farm up to council - we still take a whole evening of whipes on illi some weeks.

But to be honest, I find archi harder than Illi, cause one stupid guy wont get you killed at illi, but one idiot can whipe you at archi - whiped on archi 14 times last night - killed him 15th attemp, and all of that took less that 90 mins, twice we had him less than 20% and the other 12 times the fight did not go on for more that 1 min.

Nope, P2 (Deaden). P3 is the aura which deals incremental damage and drains tanks of rage/mana.

Edit: ATM, RoS is my all time favourite fight in TBC. (We still need to down; Mother, Counsel & Illidan before WotLK is released.)

There are plenty of good fire mages in BT, ask the mage class leaders or ranged class leader what they need though.
Good luck :D

yeah sorry, 50% damage comes back to you, but phase 2 is also the phase where eveyone goes oom after 3 mins
 
if you have 2xT5 and have got 4xT6 yet then arcane/frost if the other mages are frost (for the +15% crit) or arcane/fire if the other mages are fire is not a bad choice.

Otherwise go fire for max dps or raid spec frost if you struggling to stay alive. A dead mage = 0 dps.
 
Hmm...just realized I need to be attuned? Do you still need to be? :p

I hope not :(
 
nope, that is how losers like me get in BT - thanx to Blizz
