<DIV>Hello,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just thought it would be an idea to see how others handle their mobs.   Also gives me a chance to learn better techniques and become better.

You have written Ball of Fire, but I guess you mean Ball of Flames?

In groups, here is my techinque, good for when you have Ring of Cold.Tank pulls, you target tank. Cast AE debuff/dot that you have. Follow up with AE damage spell, then ring of cold.Hit tab to cycle to another mob in the encounter, put two debuff/dots on them, hit tab again, incinerate and immolation. Hit tab again, Ball of Flames, Ice Flame, any other spell you have loaded, like ball of flames or ice spike. By this time, your debuffs/dots should be up again, so toss one on them. Then just cycle through finishing off the mobs that are almost dead. At 50, with ice comet adept 3, you can sometimes kill one mob in the encounter right off, or get as close to dead as possible.With this method, you will take down multi-mob encounters faster, and not have to worry about mobs dying before you get the spell off. Your tank should keep AE taunting, regardless of the Ring of Cold, which most likely will break, oh and when it does, that is an additional dot on the remaining mobs, so why not AE debuff/dot again =).

<DIV>I just recently changed my single mob sequence to the following:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Ring of Cold >  Piercing Icicles > Ball of Flames > Icy Coil > Immolation >  Ball of Flames > Westfends' Ice Spear</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Most yellow mobs are dead for me at that point, although depending on how HO's come up, I might need to throw in another nuke (Ice Spike will usually do it).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV>
