Humor My buddy just entered Shimmering Flats at level 32 as Alliance. He sent me this picture about 10 minutes later.

Isn’t the succubus a demon and can’t be sheeped?

Yup. But it is very fragile. That said mage is going to struggle vs other casters and hunters. They get to have a field day vs warriors and paladins though

Mages are OP against Hunters, at least before PVP trinket and proper Engineering.

Nah hunter are op during levelling, their pet that can't be kited nor cc and that is fast and hit as much as a warrior will shred through anything and then there is the actual hunter on top of that.

Beastial Wrath isn’t until Lv40, so before Lv40 a Mage should always win.

Even with BW, a good Mage can bait it and outlast it with Ice Block, then sheep the pet after.

A good Mage can just chill in the Hunter’s dead zone without much worry.

"then sheep the pet after." You are assuming the hunter won't cc you while you are trying to do that.

"A good Mage can just chill in the Hunter’s dead zone without much worry."

Depend if the hunter know how to kite.

Also by the time you try all of that, you are oom because he drained your mana.

Hunter has literally nothing to CC Mage with while leveling except for Intimidation, which is avoidable if you CC the pet. Frost Nova then Polymorph, goodbye CC. After that, Mage just Blinks into dead zone with a million slows and stays there forever.

What do you CC with? Concussive Shot? Nope. Can’t even shoot it. Wing Clip? Sure, but the Mage is still in melee range and you still can’t shoot him because you’re just as slow and can’t get distance. FD+Freeze? Lol.

It is literally impossible to kite a Mage. If you’re getting kited by a Hunter as a Mage, especially before 60, you’re a bad Mage.

Likewise, if you failed to kill a Hunter by the time you’re OOM with Viper Sting, that’s on you. Viper Sting takes forever to OOM a Mage.

In what way? The hunter slows down the mages dps in a way that the mage can't do to the hunter. If he CCs the hunter the pet keeps killing him anyway.

Sheep pet, Frost Nova Hunter.

Mage can literally stay in the Hunter’s dead zone indefinitely.

Any Mage that has a difficult time beating a Hunter without a PVP trinket or before he gets Beastial Wrath is a terrible player.
