World-of-warcraft – How to force an enethe to dismount

It's also going to depend on the class that you're attacking. Personally, I wouldn't start with the pet nova just b/c I always use that as a good "oh s!@#" button mid-fight (at least against melee - vs casters I wouldn't bother unless I had a melee ally trying to beat his face in - and really only if it's an aff lock).

I think another thing to keep in mind is that frost mages aren't "nukers" - they're kiters. In a race against another caster though, depending on spec & gear it could be a number of different things -- my suggestion is to hit up a training dummy and feel out your toon. I look at my shaman as a perfect example of the difference in play style you get outta gear: before I had spell haste I needed ghost wolf and grounding totem, after I had haste I needed grounding totem =]

At the end of the day, I'd say before learning how to dps as a frost mage, learn how to escape and evade. Frost mages are KING at that. You learn that, you won't have to deal crazy dmg to come out the victor.

Hope that helps!

I've found the best way to aim frontal cone attacks is the make sure YOUR CHARACTER (and not just the camera) is generally facing the target of the cone attacks. Keyboard turning can be very inaccurate some times and 9 times out of 10 someone will tell you to use the mouse to turn (holding r-click). In my opinion, the most effective way to do this, is by using the mouse's r-click to line your character's front with the target and with lag timing (counting your ms) aiming ahead relative to the speed of the target within that lag-time-frame.
