PvE firemage versus Ret Pally, what are the chances you win as the fmage?
I'm currently playing and enjoying the lvl 80 geargrind as a full on PvE fmage, not a drop of resilience, not a single PvP talent, I have Dragon's Breath and (glyphed) Blast Wave for free flamestrikes even though most people remove those at this point.
Let's say you took the best fmage player in the world with that kinda setup against the best ret pally in the world, in how many scenarios would the fmage win? Let's say the the three common scenarios are:
1. The paladin swoops in and gets the first hit(s) in
2. The mage swoops in and gets to initate from range
3. both start at 20-30 yards from each other fully prepared for a fight
I'm asking cause as a full on PvE fmage I get completely rekt by absolutely anybody that decides to rip me a new one, my question is, should I just shrug it off, resurrect and do something else while they swoop the area, or are there things as a PvE fmage I could be doing to stand a decent chance of victory against, in this instance, a retpally, in those 3 scenarios.
