General Information
- Mage/Priest is an extremely fun setup to play. There is always a chance at winning against any team. Think positive while playing, excuses are for baddies.
- The general stategy is to kill someone while the healer is sheepedx3+(mind control)>fear+CS+resheep. We keep both priest DoTs and slow on our kill target. We save our mana and play defensive when the healer trinkets/bubbles or when they use defensive CDs(such as Anti-Magic Shell/Zone, Shield Wall, Icebound Fortitude, Cloak of Shadows, etc.)
- When the healer is in your CC chain, make sure BOTH of you are going all out on DPS on your kill target. Keep both priest DoTs and Slow up!
- Tips
- Against warriors and rogues, use highest rank of Amplify Magic. Against warlocks, use highest rank of Dampen Magic.
- Get Turtle Polymorph, it's awesome! But really, it's easier to see on Gladius. If you don't know what Gladius is, go get it.
- Strengths
- Mage/Priest setup has an incredible amount of crowd control, the capability of resetting countless times, and peals for each other.
- Weaknesses
- The only weakness is priest survivability against warriors with PVE gear.
Builds
Mage
51/0/20 or 60/0/11 There are 2 common builds for mage/priest, Arcane and Frost. I use Arcane.
Priest
60/11/0.
Gear
Mage
Full PVP gear, with maybe 1 or 2 pieces of PVE gear. Arcane needs a lot of resiliance, more than Frost. In order to reset many times and allow your priest to drink, you need to be able to stay alive as long as possible, especially since it takes about 4 seconds to start drinking now.
Priest
Full PVP gear, with maybe rings or trinkets being PVE.

 Jolah | Feb 2, 2010 - 1:42 AM (HideShow) |
| druid warlock and shaman warlock are the most difficult, should probably be included! | |
 Necra | Feb 2, 2010 - 4:54 AM (HideShow) |
| the guide has been renewed, so new guide=new comments, btw: whyyyyyyyyyyy BE Abni? :( gnom has so much more to offer in case of style^^ ... | |

| Sheep one, kill other. Thanks for this in depth strategy guide. | |
| Lydora | Feb 2, 2010 - 6:57 AM (HideShow) |
| Oh, almost forgot the super secret blow up the druid in an imp cs strat, zZzZzZ. Arcane fml. | |

| You might be a great player, but please... stop making guides. More theorycrafting and less "just do this and gg win" next time. | |
 Elminister | Feb 2, 2010 - 1:41 PM (HideShow) |
| terrible guide | |
 Supastarpowa | Feb 2, 2010 - 5:58 PM (HideShow) |
| His guide is spot on though, what more could you possibly need to know? If you need him to be telling you where to bind your slow button and how many yards is good to stand from someone no guide could help you. | |
| Jolah | Feb 2, 2010 - 7:07 PM (HideShow) |
| ^ I agree. 2v2 is pretty simple, and Abni hit all the basics of priest mage. | |
| Kzrs | Feb 3, 2010 - 10:58 AM (HideShow) |
| Terrible guide. | |
 Aquaria | Feb 3, 2010 - 2:51 PM (HideShow) |
| I believe the purpose of writing guides was to instruct someone who is completely new to the comp (and arena in general) as to how you should play against most, if not all, teams you will run in to; this guide is not even close to that. Unpublish. | |
| Careslol | Feb 3, 2010 - 3:36 PM (HideShow) |
| this guide sucks...no joke...i'll make a mage/priest guide... 1) pick kill target 2) cc non-kill target 3a) reset if cd is used 3b) win if they suck oh and i forgot ... i'll rate all difficulty 1 | |
| Amyqt | Feb 3, 2010 - 6:38 PM (HideShow) |
| This comp looks hard, oh wait | |
| Shinz | Feb 4, 2010 - 12:11 PM (HideShow) |
| Careslol pretty much said it. | |
  Dagín | Feb 4, 2010 - 10:13 PM (HideShow) |
| A priest already wrote a guide for this. Force cds reset kill something in a deep freeze/fear/sheep with no drs | |
 Dubson | Feb 5, 2010 - 2:44 AM (HideShow) |
| The only weakness is priest survivability against warriors with PVE gear...lol? I think you mean feral druid. | |
| Arlaye | Feb 5, 2010 - 6:53 PM (HideShow) |
| I dont get all this bull comotion about Priest mage being faceroll easy, its alot harder than people might think, half the scrubs that say this have either:- 1: not played the comp and only against (and got raped, because they dont know how it works) 2: have played it at a very low bracket, and got bored of the "when" part not coming into play, a priest mage can lose a match after playing a perfect match and not getting lucky on a simple fear eg, druid/warrior, druid = kill target, 70% time requires a fear into the open, majority of the time the druid gets feared los, and we have to wait another 27 seconds just to dispell, fear, and hope we get lucky fear, and id you ask a priest how often they get bad fears, chances will be 2 of 3 fears...... without taking into accord every thing else needed to burst down a druid..... no i wont deny that there has been matches where me and my mage have dropped the druid within 30 seconds of the gate opening, but it isnt "reliable" stop pointing fingers when all you see of a comp is the - 20 rating... because you got killed by a comp that doesnt base it self around "TUNNELLZ DUH PRIESTS!!!" | |
 Kelanos | Feb 5, 2010 - 9:40 PM (HideShow) |
| Arlaye I couldnt have said it better myself....people are so quick to troll about and complain about something they dont understand and be fully sure that they are right. I hope to play this setup with a m8 this season after getting the 3's to the desired rating...its so much fun to play and the most versatile setup imo ;) | |
| Arlaye | Feb 7, 2010 - 1:35 PM (HideShow) |
| Wel my point of view was coming from frost/disc, and this is arcane/disc, so i will be trying out arcane/disc within the next couple weeks to get a good feel for it, see if it works better for mine and my mages playstyle or not, | |
| Elminister | Feb 8, 2010 - 8:21 AM (HideShow) |
| Only thing I get out of this guide is writer trying to make himself look good. "Oh, I'll rate every combo with difficulty of 1 or 2, because I'm on such a godlike level of skill in this game that everyone else is simply inferior." | |
| Æthos | Feb 9, 2010 - 1:57 AM (HideShow) |
| ummm thats cuz he is probably one of the best mages in the US...created his own arcane shatter spec...played it to #1...switched to full arcane....still #1...watch Billian 7. Granted Billian is one hell of a priest, but Abni kites and toys with people like a frost mage...And as mentioned in one of his previous comments, everything else about a strategy is situation, not only based on who he's playing, but how things end up going down. | |
| Cev | Feb 14, 2010 - 10:56 PM (HideShow) |
| So, what you're saying is that I should CC one and burn the other? OH. MY. GOD. How ever could I have missed that? I've seen Bilian's video, you guys are good and you know what you're doing. However, this guide is WAY too basic, at least put in some tips on how to survive against double DPS as arcane, or how to avoid getting locked down by Shaman/Aff Lock etc. | |
| Supastarpowa | Feb 16, 2010 - 10:30 AM (HideShow) |
| Arlaye... you say scrub like you arent one. lol | |
| Phenomenon | Feb 17, 2010 - 4:56 AM (HideShow) |
| He might be what you think is a "scrub" in your eyes, and I pretty much agree, however, he's right. Just because abn makes it simple while writing the "tactics" you all go "omg easy setup" and keep on trollin'. If it's that fucking faceroll I'd like to see all the mages or priests here be top 10 in their bracket. | |
| Donscape | Feb 18, 2010 - 11:49 AM (HideShow) |
| How to beat Mage/D-Priest. Play defensively, apply pressure, wait until they are oom, use your cooldowns properly to make sure they don't drink, pwn'em after. And yes Mage/Priest is harder then it looks, altought its better then Priest/UaLock | |

| THEYRE NOT GAWNA GIVE AWAY ALL THEIR SECRETS YA GOOFBALLS LF someone to sell me like 2 stacks of wool. | |

| Aneíra | Mar 1, 2010 - 1:44 PM (HideShow) |
| THis guide was terribad. I play Disc priest and was just searching for some topics on other's specs and play style to compare mine and make some changes if need be. Then I come across this and... wtf? This doesn't help shit. This just tells you what you already know. WOW! | |
 Mugaro | Mar 2, 2010 - 1:10 PM (HideShow) |
| Abni I love you | |
| Khanzi | Mar 4, 2010 - 1:48 AM (HideShow) |
| I think it is pretty good guide. As a BL it is not just imp CS but also Racial works fine for cutting big heals. This guide is right on point. | |
| Nítrous | Mar 5, 2010 - 9:25 AM (HideShow) |
| if i compare this tacts to how i see flyn and hydra play this just makes me facepalm, seriously US sucks dick. | |
 Magicpuff | Mar 14, 2010 - 4:20 AM (HideShow) |
| My god this guide is so well-written and detailed. Hold on while I go wank to this | |
| Ivanx | Mar 17, 2010 - 2:32 PM (HideShow) |
| Im not the type of mages who has 2400 rank, but still, I think this guide is realy bad. | |
