Homobiscus - Fire mage

I know im over hit cap, the neck and belt never drop =\ , I don't get flame throwing because I rarely find myself needing the extra range and I have the extra 2 points in spirit, magic absorption is ok, I could take points out of clearcasting to get it, just never really saw a dire need for it.

magic absorption is a nontrivial amount of survival in the lich king fight in exchange for an awful dps talent. (and we still die a lot.)
flame throwing is a dps increase in fights where shit moves/has to move a lot. (we are all over the place in lk.)

getting mixed signals from the responses and i don't know who's to go by =\

Furly and myndor are the only mages posting in this topic and i think furly is the highest up. I'd go with what he says.

i'd go with what furly says too. i just threw in my 2 cents because you asked (though your question wasn't directed at me) what could be wrong with your gear.

fwiw, here's a few of our raiding mages:

well thanks. To be honest, I'm not very interested in transfering to be sat, I'm sure nobody is, so if thats what I have to look foward to If I were to transfer than I will respectfully have to revoke my app, if circumstances change, go ahead and post here, or if msg me on horde side, or maybe we can set up a vent interview or something. Take it easy.

The reason I'm saying you'd get sat is because you're applying at a very awkward time. You should expect to go through a trial period at any guild. As it stands, with the expansion looming, there really is no time for a trial period, and thus there is no guarantee that you'd be able to even get the chance to earn a spot. Think of it this way. If we have all of our normal raiders on, why would we sit one of them who knows the fight to bring in a trial who could waste attempts for us? You'd only be brought in if someone didn't show up.

My personal attendance has been "meh" the past two weeks after getting hacked and then tripping in the streets of boston asking Abe for directions when he lives in Texas, but that's a mistake that will not be repeated.

Also, we have another mage that is in your situation, in that he only gets brought in if somebody is missing, and since he's been here for attempts he would be brought in before you. If you have a problem with that, then don't transfer, but you shouldn't have expected any differently.

[Homobiscus]

I understand, thanks anyway, and like I said, feel free to shoot me a tell on horde side if anything changes.

If youre just sitting around I would recomend transfering and joining at least the friday pug we run with casual, its a quick 11/12 HM clear
