Dealing with casters...Follow

So I am currently a lvl 65 pally, spec'ed prot for AoE grinding. I had an easy time grinding lvls up until outlands. I find that outlands has TONS of casters. A lot of quests have me killing casters also, which is a huge problem for me. At times in outland I can tank somewhere around 5-6 melee mobs at a time. But when I get 2 casters I find myself at times needing to bubble and sometimes LoH. And this has put a huge delay in my lvling process. Now I have to kill one caster at a time, and drink/heal afterwards. And doing that 15 times for just one quest...kinda sucks.

So I was wondering what is it I can do to help withstand caster dmg, if anything? I do have the talents to help somewhat, but even with 4% dmg reduction, I still get nuked for almost 1k at times.


Any help?!

I know what you mean. Casting mobs are a pain in the butt.

Though not the answer to all your prayers, one item to help you is your Hammer of Justice. It comes in quite handy at this point. You probably know this already but I will mention it anyways in case you haven't. Displaying the mobs casting bar is very useful. Wait till it is near complete(about 75%) casting and use your HoJ. This is even more useful on healing mobs. If they get a green aura around them while casting, they are going to heal which of course makes the fight take that much longer.

1. Don't pull them while you're dealing with the melee mobs, then take the casters out 1 on 1 with a 2 hander feeling free to unload.

2. Use Line of Sight to pull a caster WITH a melee mob to you.

3. HoJ/Arcane Torrent

You're right.. casters are annoying. They are a Pally's bane, and there's only so much that can be done about it. Be prepared to drain your mana and have to drink when fighting them.

Non-physical elementals (ie. pretty much any elemental BUT the Earth/Rock kind) and Voidwalker type demons are right up there with casters. In many ways you can consider their melee attacks to be spells.
