When people complain i think it is because they're forgetting to ACTUALLY wear items with Resilience rating.
I just rolled a Frost mage. Did some PvP and got owned by Rouges. Why? Because they sneak up on you, stun you, and you simply can't do anything. Besides that. WHEN i actually manage to trap a Rogue, Frost Bolt doesn't kill him, nor does Ice lance which is supposed to Crit on Frozen targets. It takes countless attempts to ACTUALLY kill an enemy WITHOUT any resilience. IF the enemy had ANY resilience rating, it would take a LOT longer.

I don't get what all the fuzz is about. All you need to do is Silence the Mage, and he's dead as a dodo. Other than that. Frost Mages are terrible solo'ers, atleast in PvP.
Yes. They have extremely good survivability. But as i mentioned. Stun/Silence a Mage, and he's dead. Unless ofcourse he got friends to constantly heal him, in which case he will be as OP - AS ANY CLASS WOULD BE /facepalm....

On top of all this - Frost Mages deal horrible damage. To account for this, they got the ice traps, which does add something up.

If you play your Druid/Warrior/DK/Rogues/Warlock/etc, properly, you would easily kill Mages.

[edit] Insulting people of a different opinion is bad form!

Any class is OP if the opponents are s*** A DK could wipe a hole BG team. If the opponents did not do anything to actually stop it.
And this involves getting proper gear.

Well you did not say directly they were horrible but reading the post and especially the text I bolded it kind of comes close to saying that mages are a horrible class..

Oh God, no. It concludes that other Classes CAN - INFACT do something against the "all-powerful" Frost Mage, as Noobs propose.

Mage is a good Class, but that is all there's to it. DK's, Rouges, warriors, Paladin's, Hunters, Warlocks, Priests, etc, are ALL good classes. They all have down-sides, and up-sides...

Hunters deal VERY good DPS, if rolled correctly. In my honest opinion. Any class can be bad, if you don't play it right :)

Posting about your own fail attempts? Not a good idea, kiddo..
No really. I don't get the idea of writing "Fail Troll" in every thread you don't like. Seem rather Childish. That and your inconsistent English Grammar.

Haha mate, you DPS is just plain Horrific, even for a Frost Mage.
Besides my point, you wrote in the description "What to expect:
Killing random UNDERGEARED players"
Ofcourse. IF they were geared, they would kill you. No doubt.

Frost mages have their downsides like every other class but in general they are great.

Correction: Good* Great is going too far.
Surely. You can have your way with killing enemies. But so can the enemies with you, as a Frost Mage.
