Excellent PVP talent. Great for stopping spell casters by reducing their casting time by 50%. However, this talent has very little use in PVE, especially against raid bosses.

Commento di Silvertusk

Could someone possibly inform me how much 28% of a level 60s base mana is? (aka, how much does this ability cost at level 60)?

Commento di 9558

The mana cost for this spell is roughly 428mana, or the cost of a simple blink. Base mana of a level 60 (for me it's around 6500) in which 28% would be roughly 1820 mana.

I've found it much easier to take down melee players (Warriors, Rogues) w/ Slow. It cuts Warr's Charge speed in half, thus allowing a reaction time (blink) or I've found it possible to simply run away as long as you aren't speed inhibited. I usually cast Slow on everything I encounter PVP wise, since it is an instant and distant cast - for the more experienced rogues/warriors, casting slow w/ a combination of Fire Blasts while constantly walking backwards/away. I have found it helpful against casters, thus w/ the 50% increase casting time.

This spell is alot of fun for pvp but has not real pve use in raids that i have come across. I think its best would be in WSG where you can slow the flag carrior. Not onyl is it funny but its efective in alowing your team to catch and destroy said flag carrior

Commento di 9766

this is a great spell in WSG against Druids. Druids are the best flag carriers because of their ability to morph out of snares.

I would cast this on a druid and he would shift out and back into cat. well cast it again. you can actually watch him shift over and over and over until he either
1). Makes it to the flag room and caps
2). Meet up with his escorts and eat you.
3). Run out of mana and look pretty stupid as you are melting his face.

either way its fun because for some reason ALL the druids that i encountered never stop running when you are spamming them with Slow. Almost like a Bot even when they are alone in the run ... they just never fight back.

Regarding the "base mana" cost of spells. Base mana refers to the mana pool of your character with no gear on. It doesn't refer to your mana pool size when geared/buffed. This why the cost of blink and slow do not change when you upgrade your gear and why it doesn't cost 1000s of mana at level 70.

Commento di Wedmark

To reply to all questions regarding base mana.

Base mana is the mana you have before talents and equipment.
If you got a level 60 Mage, make sure you have no talents in arcane when testing it. (Arcane Mind in particular) Then take of your equipment (everything).

This will however differ from race to race since every race has different starting stats (at level 1).

Then take 28% of the mana you have and you will get the result of how much mana the spell costs.

This is the same at 70 even though you will have more mana ungeared and untalented at 70.

This spell is awsome in PvP; unfurtunately, not many Mages specc Arcane...

Combine this with UA and you'll be able to kill someone in seconds (in PvP). Their Priest will be to afraid to dispell, and if they do manage to, then the other guy still has UA.

Commento di 24122

i'm wondering which is better in terms of arena which is better blast wave or slow, the spec i'm looking at is 40/21/0 or 41/20/0 and possibly 21/40/0 and i'm having a hard time deciding which to go with if anyone has any suggestions (and please don't suggest switching to frost)

Can druids shapeshift out of it? Considering the movement speed impairmenting part of this spell.

Commento di 67659

next to all spells or abilities with speed reduce effect will be removed when shapeshifting.
and YES this spell will be removed! havent tested after patch 2.3 but think its the same.

Commento di 124864

wow then how come everydam forum on blizz made me feel this talent is useless :S!

Commento di sijtze

Dont waste your mana on slow while a rogue has CoS just wait those few seconds, you gotta have enough hp to survive, then blink/slow..

Full arcane mages have a really high dmg output but a very little dmg per mana, landing arcane blasts is very mana unefficient. Try to team up with 1 or more shadow priests, they should get your mana up. 1.5 sec cast 4.8k crits is the max dps you can get,

Since 2.3.. just iceblock the CoS if you are little on hp but I rather use iceblock to get rid of dots or block a pyro/soul fire.

Commento di BvH91

Can you use Slow for nasty trash encounters in raids? Or are most of them immune as well? I mean, "Time between ranged attacks increased by 50%." sounds very nice, even for trash encounters.

Commento di Mortenz

I had REALLY good use of this while tanking Krosh Firehand in Gruuls lair, the mage brute.

50% less casting time on him really makes it easy to tank him, and to keep me alive.

Commento di 168574

This is an awesome spell against all non spell casters including bosses but if u use it on a spell casting boss then your in for trouble because it increases his spell cast time.

Slow
20% of base mana 30 yd range
Instant cast
Reduces target's movement speed by 50%, increases the time between ranged attacks by 50% and increases casting time by 50%. Lasts 15 sec. Slow can only affect one target at a time.
