Mages Your are
very important part of the whole group, most of HoS Raids consist of 3-5 mages, all raid depends on you and
your failure will cause a wipe!Mages role is to use
Discharge ( DC ) in a roration and heavy AoEing (
purg 90% and TS for ranged) , from 1st in the list to last.
It's very important to know your position on the list, usually the hardest role has 1st mage as he/she has to be shadow of the tank and follow him into the middle of heat, cast DC, spam Purg and wait for arrival rest of the mages that will be in the middle and spaming Purg and waiting for the DC rotation turn. If one mages failes or is late by 1 second , this could cause a wipe to mages - if you are too early - you might cause a wipe as well.
*General Tip* I MUST EMPHESIZE ON USING SPELLREMOVAL EFFECT - you will lag like you never did before so it's a must to ALL ( only problem it might cause to you in hos at 1st boss not to see flames that have been left by the two horses ridding from the back of the boss )
Our Stun will allow Tank to live and all the DD to cause as much damage as possible
,if you got hit and you are about to die, do not run, if you do you will miss your DC turn and you will cause a wipe - just make a
macro that says help please in party and wish the heal is on time.
This takes practice and it's not that hard,you can see by yourself who did a DC when you start to understand that mob chaos and you will not need to use any macro, but for now it would be helpfull if you use one of these macros posted here.
At the First boss ( Andriol ) - Please
remove your BUff that causes decrease 25% aggro - its highly recomended that a mage is 2nd on the aggro list as it will make the boss pay less attention to the melees around him - and since you are reanged and he doesnt really have ranged aoe you will be just fine just stay away from flames left from the horses.
At the Second boss ( Glamo ) - This is fairly the second hardest part for the mages - You got to use Static Field,which must be at the level that causes 30 second stun.therefore make sure you are charged befeore or charge yourself on the boss preferably if you use macro that initialises your Electrical COmpresssion after Plasma Arrow.
After maybe 30-40 seconds into the fight there are 3 dangerous mobs that will appear to your left. Prisoner Devine and Horror, Horror is the most dangerous by far since he casts Fear, so imagine 12 people running in random ways!They will blame you. Each mage has to take one and befroe fight states which mob she/he will be taking care of with your Charged Static Field - SO after the fight begins One Mage has to be assigned to cast DC when Prisoner, Devine and Horror appears as the come close in pack making it way easier to target and cast static field on them. Prisoner Devine and Horror will appear after 3-4th yellow writings, i never counted as i was too concentrated on all other things but expect them after 3-4th yellow writing.
Don't be afraid of the elites hitting you, just stunn them with Lightning and let them do their job - they don't hit that hard if healing is good you should be just fine.
*General Tip* When the boss is down, run to the crystal to teleport to Main Entrance as the elites are hard to kill and time consuming you will take your meme's later don't worry. If you don't want to leave the room , swap and die wait for ress.
At the third boss ( Guldamor ) -*General Tip*EVERYONE HAS TO destroy the white Crystal that appears , leave the boss *except tank* and DPS crystal.
Mages and ALL Ranged have to destory the Red balls,since they accumulte and cause massive aoe discharge. in easy you might be lucky to surive a hit if you have 12k Hp and some above 8k def.
There are white circles appearing behind the boss and some random places if you stand in it you get extra DPS boost
At the fourth boss ( Vrantal ) - *General Tip* Since its easy mode, i got to say just one thing; Aoe small mobs that come, and DPS all the way ! if all of you are lucky enough he will be dead in 30 min. Hos normal you got 10min and wipe. You will be dragged up, don't be terrified you are supposed to use these three skills on the mobs ABOVE you in 3-2-2 order, but its easy so its not working.
At the fifth boss ( Zygro ) -*General Tip*Everyone DPS the boss - Mages DC adds that appear after the the boss retreats.
At the sixth boss ( Sydaphex ) -My personal favorite ! all you need to know for now :p To be contined
but you got pretty much the basics
