Haezyl

Herbalism/Alchemy

Level 70 Undead Frost Mage…all frost, all the time!

Haezyl (originally “Hazeluth,” which I changed because I thought it was silly) was a character I leveled to raid with pre-BC. Even back then, while Luth’s dps was definitely good, I figured I’d be bringing more to the raid if I played a mage (we were low on them at the time). So that’s what I did. Frostbolt spam ftw. Conjure Water spam ftl.

These days, I’ll bring her to an instance run that needs more crowd control or as a mage tank for Gruul’s, but more often than not she doesn’t get played. I’ve toyed with pvp as a potential outlet for the character…it was a big part of what I did with the character while leveling her up. But that was as fire…nay, an elemental build, using fire spells in conjunction with shatter and the survivability offered by ice block (which wasn’t a base spell back then, you had to get it with talent points).

Nowadays, pvp mage-ing with an elemental build just isn’t as effective, especially not in the arena. Plus I’m so not used to arena-style pvp as the mage, which emphasizes control of your opponents, I tend to just mentally lock up and not know what to do.

Anyway! Her gear’s nothing special, a couple Kara epics but mostly 5-man blues (as of 4/21/08). I won’t bother with it here unless it improves.
