I can kill Mel in under 4 mins on my mystic build. Under 6 mins if you include the satyers. Can easly replace mystic with taming/lore for the Gdrag if they decide to nerf collosus.
Hailstorm needed to be fixed. Good change. Should bring more diversity back in pvp, also puts it more on par with magery spells.
ha ha ha. no
Mel-100000 HP
Mels lowest resist is fire not cold. and the difference between the two is around 15-20 points. Why would you even be casting hailstorm on Mel?
flamestrike with slayer -250 hp per hit
To kill mel with a mystic u need to keep about 3 energy fields up and have colossus up at all times.
#- the tree branch
0- mel
x- colosus
8- mystic mage
|- energy fields

First lets assume that you only had to cast flame strike. And lets assume it takes 1 second to cast each flame strike, and Mel doesn't actually do anything but stand there.
100000/250= 400 flame strikes required
400/60 = 6.6 minutes required of just flame striking.
Or if u have spellweaving. it would take a total of 4.6 minutes till you get to 30% and then another minute of WOD to drop to 0
This is how long it takes if Mel just stood there doing absolutely nothing.
Now lets take into consideration that collosus has to be kept up at all times, energy field has to be kept up at all times, and that your positioning becomes less favorable over time as Mel eventually works its way closer to the other end of the map where you stand which is a side result of what happens as energy fields expire and the fact that Mel moves forward a step sometimes when the colosus dies. Sometimes this would add 5-10 minutes to the whole process as you have to reposition Mel on the other end without getting killed.
Its more accurate to say that you can kill Mel and all spawn if all things are completely in your favor in about 15-20 minutes. More if an energy field placement gets screwed up and it does happen, since in some cases the energy field will not extend across the entire branch.
4 min to kill a mel? its not mathematically possible even if Mel just stood there and doesn't attack. quit exaggerating. Its not even possible if your flame strike did 300 damage. Note that i'm not even calling you out on the fact that you said "less" than four minutes here, and giving you the benefit of rounding up to a full 4 minutes not including satyrs and spawns, and the fact that you will also be spending several moments getting rid of the undead that Mel animates from the left over Satyr corpses.
Even if you somehow fit discordance onto your template, and that's pushing it considering that you would need
120 focus,
120mysticism,
120magery,
120eval int
60/40 ss and necro
to make it work, you still can't kill Mel in four minutes flat because there are other factors involved outside of just casting flame strike.
Removing Eval int and just going pure mysticism would actually make it take LONGER, nothing in mysticism hits for quite as much as you can with flame strike. And i've found that casting bombard is more efficient than casting hailstorm on Mel anyway. lower cast time, more overall damage. Mel's second lowest resist is physical.
And you were ALWAYS able to solo mel with a greater dragon + heals. It just takes close to like a frickin hour.
