Mages wouldn't tell you how you should go about beating them! ;P

Dot them up, watch yourself die, and cross fingers that they don't have any way of removing the dots and are at 5k hp.

1. Mount up.
2. Turn around.
3. Run away.
4. Profit.

PS: You should have posted that in priest forum instead of multithreading in mage, dk, lock and whatever else forum.

All about mounting early pressure. Start off fully buffed including Levitate. If they blanket you into a sheep, trinket it and start getting debuffs on them. If they blanketed you, after you trinket, get VT+DP up ASAP, then SWP, and start dispelling as fast as you can, then focus on dispelling yourself, and dispel him whenever he gets Fingers of Frost.

Dispersion the Deep Freeze right away, and line of sight+heal when you get in trouble. Watch out for blink+counterspell when you're healing. If CS is up, generally you just need to fake cast something to force it out.

Keep him dispelled, keep dots up, and you win.

If they sheep you, use shadow word death near end of cast to break it, esp 10 second one. Beside that disepll them and yourself, after that dispell their fingers of frost procs and novass of you. And lastly just put some dots and run like gay around pillar. Also fake cast and use fears + silence but tbh just raping that pillar alone will make that duel hell for frost mages.

Fixed =P.

Honestly, open with silence, apply Vampiric Touch and your other DoTs. If he Ice Blocks to clear it, Mass Dispel, Psychic Scream and redot, also add some Dispels then fakecast (not fully cast) a Mass Dispel to try to waste his Counterspell. If he tries to cast a spell, blast him with Psychic Horror and Mind Blast, then proceed to continue your instant cast DoTs/dispelling, while attempting to fish out his Counterspell. Depending on spec, the rest is up to you really, but a mage, even with Mage Armor up, will have trouble beating his way out of that, as your lockdown cooldowns (Fear/Silence) are significantly shorter than his defensive cooldowns.

Oh also, if he is a Frost Mage and tries to Shatter combo you, just Dispersion and /laugh at him.

My goodness, there should never EVER be an issue as a Sh. Priest to kill a Mage. Sh. Priests are a Mage nightmare. I have maybe lost a couple of fights against a Mage only because I started to become reckless when I fight Mages, not even really caring, or typing /bored, or, /dance, or my favorite /bye during the fight. Face roll City!

You should not lose against a Mage period. You got WAY too many defenses/interrupts to make the Mage completely useless, not to mention your killer dots. I got an 80 Sh. Priest and absolutely LOVE pvping with him.

Make sure you not only know your class, but know exactly what Mages can do, AND the CD's of their abilities etc. You won't have a problem.

Same player has asked the question on all class forums... Both on the Warlock & Death knight forums, we all but ignored him. I mean come one what class is going to give you tips on how to beat them...

I'm 100% certain I'm not the only one, but I always give advice to people I beat in duels when they ask me for it. It's about helping struggling players become better. (Not to mention planting seeds for future teammates if you ever need them)
