Any tips vs rogue mage as warrior?

most time your supposed to go mage… he will breath you and do a go and you have to sit or trinket, then after this you got 20 sec to try and chase him down, he can use so much like 2x blink, root, alter time, and by the time i have uptime on him and got him just abit low hes allready able to use breath again and doing another setup, and after that im behind with cds… so what to do

whats the ideal way to STICK to a mage without having to be kited all game until breath

Any tips vs rogue mage

You stop moving and accept your faith.
Untill hopefully Blizzard will ever do something 5 xpacks further.

You want to delay the goes by CCing the Rogue as much as possible to have more than 20sec to nuke the mage. But Generally unless you prevent some goes with Bladestorm, Disarm, etc, you wont win a good RM as Warr+Healer

yeah thats why i feel like LUCK is important here, bladestorming the breath, or getting lucky with the mage failing with it , and walling it feels terrible as fury warrior, you wanna wall if the mage uses combust, but also if the rogue uses shadow blade, but then again even if 1 pops he can get me so low that if i sit , i will have to wall so late that the mage will pop his combust after im at 40% hp and my wall wont do anything,

Play Arms and oneshot the rogue, Problem solved :ok_hand:

Try to play with bloodrage to clear your own roots, impending victory or double time is up to you but I tend to prefer impending victory for the extra selfheal, and stick on your target as much as possible.

There are other things to consider, like overall positioning of everybody in the arena and abilities used when and so on, but in general it’s mostly about securing as much uptime as possible.

Also, play with misshapen mirror. Helps a lot.

Play with rsham and just afk while he soloed them both

can i also ask how the mage kept dispeling my Storm bolt? maybe a trinket other than medallion?

It’s because they don’t play with shimmer. Shimmer is a talent that replaces blink and gives 2 charges with a longer CD than blink, which lets them cast while blinking at the same time. It also makes it so they can’t blink out of stuns.

When they don’t play with the Shimmer talent, they only have 1 blink on a shorter CD, and it can be used while stunned and it dispels the stun.

Blink stun, that’s why they are immortal now they are immune basically every go (except if they waste blink which never happen at decent cr).

I mean they have everything. don’t they? Rogue / mage is the most toxic thing i’ve seen.

Problem with rogue/mage is that it is literally idiot proof. Failed a go? Just cc spam and re, failed another go? Ah well cc spam and re. It requires absolutely no brain at all.
