though I am looking forward to leveling up my rogue, love the idea of hiding/stealthing etc. and ganking horde
edit: by nuke I mean, sheep, then fireball (~500dmg), PoM (instant) pyro (~640dmg), (instant) fireblast (~400dmg), scorch (~200dmg), CoC (~220dmg + slowdown).. FrostNova, then run around him giving him grief with ~200dmg instant cast arcane explosions...
So 1940dmg without crits (ignite means another 40% DoT on top of standard crit too

).. after the first instant AE

+ slowed down 50% or froze in spot, so I can keep away from him for 8seconds.
*forgot; thats 1940 without the standard fireball/pyro DoT's added btw

i can image that hurting rogues ^ ^ but if the rogue is fighting back he can use kick to stop your fire for 10 seconds and with imp kick a 2 second silence, in that time could have already for enough combo to stun you for 5 seconds

this doesnt include if the rogue has poisons which increase your casting time
i think the main this is defo the way the toon is played, i know that alot of alli on our server are very young players, you really can tell from there playing style.
I have come across plenty of allis who are very much a challenge to myself with my rogue and its these fights which are always the most fun

if my rogue was same level as your mage and on same server i could see the fight bgeing a damn good one
