Originally this is part of a bigger guide for all support classes and raid setup but i decided to publish a basic one for Warlock/Mage only.
Warlock/Mage
This Class is the most important one for the raid because its very versatile and supplies a lot of offense and defense boost for your Party members.
Regarding buff food you should focus on food which increases your survivability since this class is not focused on doing any damage.
1 Buff food
The most basic buff food you can use are:
1 HP or defense Food
2 Featured Cuisine Delicacy
3 Egg rice dumplings
4 Hero Potion
5 Clear thought
6 Dwarven Ale (regenerates PSI and Focus)
7 Transformation Potion(Stamina/wisdom)
2 Offensive Buffs
Warp Charge: You want to have this buff always up on all dps which adds
Cast/Attack Speed and Magical/Physical Damage (every 5 seconds)
Surge of Awareness: Adds 21.5% Attack Power but also reduces defense by that amount. Always try to hit the most DPS with it and spam it on cooldown(50% uptime)
Can be used on CD but be aware that u have it up for Big Pulls/Bosses
Soulseal: Increases the Damage dealt by 10% for 15 seconds
Can be used on CD but be aware that u have it up for Big Pulls/Bosses
Stormassault/Fire Training: If u are only 1 Support always prefer Stormassault
instead of Fire Training. Long CD it should be always up for Big Pulls/Bosses
Soul brand: Stacking it with Soulpain on 4 stacks increases elemental damage taken from the target by 20%. On bosses ALWAYS keep it on 4 stacks and in trash try to do it aswell if u have all other buffs running
Otherworldly whisper: Only usable in Willpower construct
Every stack will increase the Party members Attack power by 2% (10% total)
It requires to build up PSI and enter Willpower construct which will be covered at 3.4
Weakening Weave Cures: Targets receive 9.3% more Dark Damage
Only use it if u have a class which does Dark Damge.
Saces Cracking Spell: Only usable in Willpower construct
Reduces the crit resistance of the target. Use this only when all other buffs are up.
LVL 98 ISS: Deals Damage to a targeted Area and stuns all enemies.
Great to use when more interrupts are need e.g. rofl after b5 magma elementals.
3 Defensive Buffs
Level 85 Setskill: Reduces all incoming Damage by 90%
Usefull for big Pulls since it will nearly guarantee that DPS players wont die for 8 seconds even when they have Aggro
Mind Barrier: Ground Spell which reduces all damage taken and increase incoming
healing. Usefull for any situation where Players are getting Damage from AOEs.
Shield of Solid Mind: Shields a Party member (scales with healing bonus, only really effective in heal gear)
Defense Net: 100% less magical Damage taken and immunity to most CC(except
Fear)
Use this Spell to prevent Crowd Control most of the time for the tank.
Saces Embrace: Basicly a Shield of Solid mind but as an AOE
try to protect your DPS players with it. (scales with healing bonus, only really effective in heal gear)
(Reported to only scale with MDMG)
Lvl 95 ISS: Protects 1 Party member from Damage and when the Shield breaks everything around the target gets feared.
Notice: In some instances the fear might not work.
4 PSI and Focus regeneration
In order to enter the Willpower construct for certain Spells u will need 6 PSI.
It can be regenerate through specific Spells, Item Set Skills or Dwarven Ale.
If you manage to regenerate it in trash through Spells, prefer it over Dwarven Ale.
If you are at a boss with less than 6 Psi you should Use Dwarven Ale to stack Otherworldy Whisper before the boss fight Starts.
Spells are used in Following order
Level 75 Setskill: Instantly Regenerates 4 Psi + 6 Psi after 25 seconds
Flaming Heart Strike: Regenerates 2 Points of Psi without Cast time.
Puzzlement: Regenerates 2 Points of Psi.
Psychic Arrows: Regenerates 1 Point of Psi without Cooldown.
Heart Collection Strike: Regenerates 50 Focus
Can be used every 8 seconds. Use it when u are under 50 Focus. Also applies
1 stack of Soulbrand
