How do you fill your conc slots in a raid mage group? Wich buffs, on whom and the most important for me is - why?

Raid group setup is:
Wizard
Necromancer
Warlock
Illusionist
Troubadour
Fury

AricaJade

that's a typical mage group. drop mask & hunt. leaves vim slots for the sorcys, illus & urself

So you're saying you dont buff the summoner?

AricaJade

i only buff a summoner's pet when there's a free slot after buffing sorcys & chanters.

lol, i've been getting short bussed, so i have an sk, illusionist... and sometimes a dirge... sometimes a wizard, who really knows, so fuck, vim all around, cept the dirge!

Scrownge

Yep unless its a fight that requires mages in melee range and there is a big AoE, go for Vim, on those fights i put up mask and hunt to help with HP/Mit.

Khiara

*blinks* why would you drop buffs which help keep the squishy wannabe mage tanks alive? I rotate lucidity thru my mages per death and ...unless they go crazy with /grumble LIFEBURN or a huge nuke before agro is set..my mages live thru the fight and are able to contribute with no dying and also live better thru aoe's...srsly i need this thinking explained plz? Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture on this

Fijiram

the whole picture is that you apparently have no clue what mit does for mages.

mages r gonna get 1 shot regardless if they dont have enough resists on an ae or they peel. that lil bit of mit isnt gonna help. alll ya gotta do is keep heals up & that actually helps more than the miniscule amount of mit added by mask. plus elemental resists arent needed on all fights. why run it when it's say a noxious ae? not gonna do a thing. makes more sense to toss up another lucidity so that it's actually useful durin the fight.

Like others have said, I drop mask and hunt, and pop Lucidity on myself > sorcs > chanters.

The group buffs wont save them from an aoe and if they rip aggro they'll get one shotted anyway. 4 x Lucidity in the mage group is 100% more useful than some mit and hp.
