Gumbo, going to have to thicken up that skin a bit.

The task stick idea wasn't a bad one to help with resists.

I was bored, so I made a video. Can do this on any mage 49+ although being level 52 helps a bit. If you can ds a necro pet somehow you could prob just do the same thing if you can't get fear to stick.

Use Disease Cloud and Shadow Vortex to keep aggro off my pet but first, use Engulfing Darkness to snare, followed by Invoke Fear to fear and dot with Splurt and Ignite Blood.

Makes you wonder why high level spells are even needed?

Cascading darkness is a terrible spell.

It has bad efficiency, long cast time (these make resists worse), and the extra snare doesn't have an impact.

You want to kite this mob by keeping agro and having your pet hit it in the back while it chases you. Use the rogue pet, give it haste, and make sure to turn taunt off.

Easiest way is to just root the dino, while it is rooted throw a splurt and ignite blood, after it has taken some damage, let the root break and snare it, send your pet in and start running laps.

Refresh snare in time, along with splurt and some disease clouds so you keep agro.

Keep up your mana -> hp conversion spell, and throw in the occasional bond of death to keep your HP above 500ish so you can't get one-rounded.

While kiting, keep your distance, when the server tick is near, sit down so you get mana for meditating, after the tick resume running. At start you can use this trick every other tick to learn it, after you get better you should be able to med at least 2/3 of the ticks. This is very important.

If you are planning a long session, pick up some mage summoned weapons and haste items to help your pet, which is your main source of DPS for this fight.

Do not fearkite with invoke fear. The mob has too many hp to make this efficient, you'll be spending a lot of mana casting fear, and you'll have to chase the mob, which obviously is harder to control then having the mob chase you.

Have DMF up, since you'll be able to outrun mobs faster on terrain with slopes.

If you play well and manage your resources properly, it is impossible to die to this mob if you don't go LD.

Do I have "Bond Of Death?" Yes.

Do I know what it does? No.

It is an unresistable DoT that drains HP from the mob and gives it to you.

Vexing Mordinia is more efficient from a damage/mana perspective, but the differences aren't huge, since the main benefits of the line are unresistable + lifedrain + more efficient then any lifetap. Vexing also requires a higher initial mana investment, which can create issues for characters with low manapools. You don't want to spend your last mana casting any DoT, you always want to save some.

The guy's level 55 and doesn't know what his spells do. This is going to be far outside his capabilities or even comprehension.
