Nisey mentions, “Frozensoul ended up as a Mage to replace a previous Mage that had met an unfortunate end when a disconnect occurred. I went with Frost as her spec for a couple of reasons. The first being the elemental helper you get in that spec. Granted it doesn’t do that much damage, but it can serve as a distraction while you try to make a getaway if things go south. The second reason was I had run Frost on the previous Blood Thirsty Mage and had pretty good success. The slowing effect from the frost spells can buy you some time, whether you are trying to kite a mob or just buy a few extra moments to finish them off before they do too much damage to you.”

          Nisey states, “This challenger joined the ranks right after the pre-Shadowlands level squish took place. I was a bit too nervous to take out any of my older/higher level challengers yet, so I used Frozensoul to try to find my footing in the new landscape we were now facing. She basically became my post level squish zone tester. I started out following my previous leveling paths through Loch Modan, Feralas, and Winterspring, but ultimately I ended up in Tirigarde Sound and leveled along the road from Hatherford up to Foxhollow Woods. It was a fairly safe leveling path there, even if my grinding loops were a bit on the short side. Plus I felt that I was making a bit more gold on the vendor trash dropping from the mobs out there than I had been following.”

          So did Nisey have any close calls while leveling this character? “I don’t remember having any specific close calls. Though I did remember hitting invisibility when I accidentally pulled two mobs in Bastion that like put a nasty Gore spell dot on you. I knew I wouldn’t survive that so I hit invis and ran.”
