BC 4 Minute Mage Battle
by Laneer on Nov.15, 2006, under Beta
For a change in scenery I decided to do some quests in Nagrand. I didn’t see a whole lot of quests there but I found a few at the Consortium camp.

I was out near Oshu’gun for the first quest I was doing. I don’t know the story behind Oshu’gun yet but I’m sure it is interesting. You can pick up Oshu’gun shards off the ground near it and the mobs drop the Oshu’gun equivalent of darkiron residue.
I had just finished harassing some water elementals and was about to leave I had an interesting battle with a Mage. I had just got on my Ram and was about to ride away when the Mage was riding by, I think he was 64 or 65. He jumped off and frost nova’d me immediately. I dismounted, shielded, and by that point he had sheeped me. He reved up for a big blast and the battle was on. I had one close moment in which pain suppression saved me for once. I wasn’t able to ever do much to him except keep pain and shield on myself which of course was damaging him.
In the end he was out of mana I still had 1/3 of mine and he ran away. He sheeped me one last second to slow me down. I caught him and sheeped me again while he blinked away. I almost got him but he did get away, jumped on his mount and off he went. It made me mad he got away considering he started it however I felt rather vindicated that even if I did not technically win, he wasn’t able to kill me and ran away from me
Though the battle didn’t seem that long I managed to cycle through 4 or 5 fears, he counter spelled me a few times, sheeped me a lot and blasted me with frost bolts. He must not have had the water elemental, or it was on cooldown.

So far Nagrand hasn’t been very exciting though. However it is very pretty isn’t it?
