It's a rare occasion when a troll post (yes, I'd define it as such) manages to make it through the hell of forums with laughs.

Mhm, sounds like a funny plan. But yeah, the honest "mage tanking" should happen with good healer, lots of bubbles, and by trying to freeze it away from you for as long as you can, so that it wont get to deal damage onto you. If you seriously are going to tank, dont forget to put Ice Armor on so you can run and blink when the boss finally reaches you.

Uhm... A mage can't tank even with mana shield. Mana shield absorbs a certain amount of damage, and then disappears. Also, if all your mana is drained, their goes your ability to tank, now doesn't it?
Also, you can't turn into a water elemental. You SUMMON one. So its pointless to say less. They do heal, but they're not able to take water from a water source... Seriously, get some rest dude. Its not good. :\
Somebody got trolled

lol. Don't be drinkin' that Hatorade because you can't mage tank man. When my invincible water ele is out, I just have him tank the bosses. Then I can just sit there and sheep him to get me some epic leather and make those epic leather pants I've been waiting for. lol... epic leather pants, please take that out of WoW context...

Similar to the warlock enslave demon spell- mages will have an enslave sheep (or indeed pingu). this enslaved sheep can be used to attack mobs - like enslave demon.
The sheep debuff can't be broken when the sheep (or indeed pingu) is attacked. With mirror image and summoned elementals, the mage has been able to create an army of 16. Thus, two mages have been able to clear the first 4 bosses of SWP, according to beta reports.

I dont see whay everyone is laughing.... i do this all the time...
Only difference, when you have the water elemental, you have to cast Dampen Magic on yourself so the water magic works better.... and if you use any fire spell, it dries out the dampen magic, and Ice freezes it - preventing you from moving - but is Does give you a Nice Ice shield buff....
So - once you do this - stick with wanding - its a faster attack (mine is like .9 seconds - thats Fast) and just hang in there....
