Use frost nova or arcane explosion as soon as they vanish then.

Ok are you talking about a duel then? If they vanish when the fight begins they are wasting a cooldown. When they are stealthed there isn't much you can do other than trying to find them. If he stuns you just blink straight away and if you're fast enough you might not be crippled by poison.

You can blink out of stuns if they use Cheap shot at you. Honestly just focus on leveling, mages do not get all their cool toys until later levels.

Iceblock, blink, ice lance, ice lance, ice lance....ice lance. You see where I'm going with this? Once they blow sprint and move in close, frost nova and do the same damn thing. Your pet helps too. Don't forget the grunt trinket.

The TC is level 21. :P Yea.. wait until your 80 TC. The game isn't really balanced at low level pvp. General rule is kite them and don't let them get near you. I don't believe you have any shields and your really squishy.

If it's a subtlety rogue, you're pretty much screwed unless you're good at frost pvp.

I've never played a mage so I don't know all of his spells, but I've mostly played a rogue so I know how things work :P

Most important thing when fighting a sub rogue is - do NOT blink before he shadowsteps,because if you do, you'll be stuned for 6sec and that's pretty much all the rogue needs.However that might prove to be difficult since good rogues know that aswell.

If you're not frost, you'll only be able to beat noob rogues.

Edit: Oh ur level 21? xD Nvm all that then :P

But it's nice to know at 80 :D

aaahhhh the mage really is very unbalanced during low levels. I was almost gonna quit being a mage because i thought the mage must be the weakest class but im so happy to know that things get evened up in the end

I would start off with rank1 frostbolt get the slow effect up on the target then switch up to higher rank spell. Melee classes are the easiest class defeat as mage, you should always kite them. When they get close frostnova, blink, cone of cold get away to continue kiting the person and ice block when everything else is on cooldown. The mage class really doesn't start to pick up till 30+ so don't worry you will get more powerful.

You should use an explosion;range type of spell like arcane explosion to break him out of vanish then use frost nova and freeze him then shoot fireballs at him... when he comes you freeze him again the same goes for vanishing

MMORPG PvP is unbalanced and crap, so dont hurt your head over it, your either meant to win, or meant to lose, in this case, lose.

No one can tell you how to defeat a rogue. Its all about the situation, enviroment and so on.

Just duel over and over and over again. Untill you start to learn what they do and how they do it. You could even throw in some random things like mount up and so on :P

1st of all, do not blink from their 1st attack, cuz they will most likely to sprint and catch u with a stun. if hes stealth-ed use ur rank 1 blizzard. yes mages abuse the rank 1 spells like frostbolt and blizzard. use it and bring him outta stealth, will cost u nearly no mana. when he comes near u, frost nova. then run away, and sheep -> prevents him from vanishing. then rank 1 frostbolt. and arcane blast as soon as he vanish in case he vanishes be4 ur sheep and bring him outta stealth. then kite him like a chicken. the dots from ur frostbolt, fireball will keep him from vanishing. my advice is to dont let him vanish during the fight, wont be a hard job for u, with ur dots on him, gl :)

I take it you quit a long time ago? Im sure they made all ranks of spells cost the same ammount of mana, due to stuff like this
