Presence of mind works well with Fireball, Frostbolt and Polymorph. While you might be tempted to only use it for dps, it can be very useful when applied creatively.

For example, in Alterac Valley, usually players will mount up and attempt to kite the guards at a flagstand away so that another player can capture that flag. If you use Presence of Mind and Polymorph the mounted player, the 4 guards will make short work of him - Polymorph dismounts players.

Note that if you use PoM (Presence of Mind), its cooldown isn't activated until after you cast a spell that triggers it. Therefore, it's best not to hit the PoM button until you want to instantly cast a spell.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

I think frostbolt + fireball (if your target get stunned shoot another fireball) + fireblast + Presence of Mind + pyroblast + fireblast (if the colldown is finish) is the best combo ever :D

In PVP BGs such as AB and the Arena I turn on PoM during the prep period. Its especially useful in AB when you are riding to get to your first objective and many times the first person who dismounts will win the fight. With PoM already turned on, it becomes an equalizer. In the Arena, PoM allows me to poly morph one of the contestants at the beginning. Its especially effective in 2 vs 2 match ups where you poly one and you and your buddy kill the other. I turn on PoM to open mainly due to beating silencing effects.

As stated before PoM + Poly is great when knocking players off the mounts, its also very good at defense in AV. Such as, on the bridge into the Alliance HQ. A well placed Frost Nova can coat the whole bridge. If the Horde comes in, in waves, you frost nova the first group, PoH Poly any healer class stragglers and the rest of you party starts focus fire on the nova'd. Whats sad is this normally stops the charge as the next wave is somewhat hessitant to move forward.

Like doing combos? Like being killed? Love big crits? Like aoe grinding? Mage is for you.

No way! Get a life! Mage sucks!

Instant pyroblast only reason to make a mage.

can you say dismount from a flying mount pom and poly someone then you slowfall and laugh as they drop to their doom?

can someone tell me whether presence of mind work with blizzard? i know that blizzard is more of a channelling spell than a spell with a casting time. but if it does, than presence of mind -->blizzard is certainly better than presence of mind-->pyroblast. i guess it wouldnt work can someone confirm this for me?

Kommentar von Finko

PoM + Poly is way underused, specifically for PvE. It's a very nice tool for keeping the sheep away from the rest of the group on the initial pull. People can just AoE away if they need to. I like to use it against locks in PvP, so they can't drop 10 dots on my head before I get a single cast off. Not to mention, you'll probably be spelllocked by the felhound for the duration of the sheep anyway...

Another useful tip for presence of mind:
use it quickly if targeting a level 70 mage. It can be stolen with spellsteal.

Kommentar von 1909

Note that this talent only applies to spells that have a casting time of LESS THAN 10 seconds, so you can't use this talent to instantly teleport to a city (which would have been an easy way to escape a tough fight).

Kommentar von 64754

So is it best for arenas and pvp to do arc fire w/ 21/40/0 or somethin like that? or is best to do a little arcane to get improved counterspell and do the rest frost?... i've been wondering this because i plan on respecing when i hit 70 soon and i'll b doin lots of arena and battlegrounds, not too much PVE

Kommentar von 5409

If I'm planning on heading out again or traveling some distance, I use it for all the conjures. Whatever I am low on.

Kommentar von Mortenz

If you have atleast +1 haste rating on any item, you can PoM + Teleport.

Kommentar von 110339

PoM only applies to spells that have a BASE cast time under 10 secs, so haste rating will not make a difference.

Kommentar von 149238

What I really like to do for people who want to throw off a huge damage is to obtain not only PoM but Arcane Power even though it increases mana cost it also increases damage so if your at a good amount of mana this would be perfect for you. Also if you have clearcasting you might be lucky enough for it to pop for your Pyroblast or anything after it if it's still up. What I do is very similar to Sulph; if you have a trinket use it first then pop Arcane Power followed by a PoM Pyroblast then do whatever you please. Another good thing to do if you have the time (as in if it is CC'd) is to stack up scorch expecially if you have improved scorch. This is amazing for both PvE and PvP just don't forget to wait and NOT pull aggro off the tank in PvE.

Presence of Mind can be reallz handy when u re fire and want to aoe ...cast Arcane Power, charge a flamestrike when they're not looking , and Pom and flamestrike again it does some nice amount of damage.

Another nifty trick is when you want to get a player of his flying mount ... simply mount up, go up to him, cast slowfall cast PoM and cast polymorph. I always keep a macro like this on my bar:

/dismount
/cast slow fall
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Polymorph

Also keep in mind that presence of mind is considered a buff ... so it can be devoured,purged,dispelled,or spellstealed.

Kommentar von marsmetroid

I´m not so used as mage. Where can you learn Presence of Mind?

Kommentar von 57722

with a little spell haste, portals will be under 10 secs. So could one instantly put up a portal with this?

Kommentar von 136306

can you PoM evocation?, u gain all the mana u were gonna gain after 10secs, but instanty

Kommentar von 219697

Its good to fireball (3.5 unless proc'ed) Pyroblast cause then youll have the initial blast to work with (This is all assuming you have mana shield on ;) ) then Presence of Mind, Pyroblast thats a sh^t load of damage cause you guys use too many fireballs when you know when your gunna get stunned or something.

Kommentar von 219697

my eyes hurt reading that block of typing i didnt even attempt to read it.

Kommentar von 37999

Do instant cast spells consume Presence of Mind? And does Presence of Mind trigger a global cooldown?

Kommentar von veno3

This talent is getting reworked in Patch 3.0.9

# Arcane Power and Presence of Mind now share a category cooldown. Arcane Power causes a 15 second cooldown. Presence of Mind, once consumed, causes a 1.5 second cooldown.

# Presence of Mind: The cooldown has been reduced to 2 minutes, (down from 3.)

Kommentar von 243284

Ah, just asked a guy on Wow.

You just can't have those two spells active at 1 time.

May it be by CD or like some spells, just grayed-out when you can't use it.

I'm a mage, and I wanted this change badly

I'm fire speced, so I hated the PoM AP Pyro !@$# you get from arcane mages.

Kommentar von 212003

also:

i believe that PoM will trigger a cooldown of 15 sec on any ability with a cast time more than 5 seconds... bye PoM pyro, ill not forget ya!

Kommentar von Rufina

You can still use POM+Pyro, but you can't use arcane power with as long as it is active.

Kommentar von 337736

a rly good way to use this is make a macro

/cast pressence of mind
/cast frostfire bolt

thats good dmg there

Kommentar von Toldry

You can use Presence of Mind to create a mana gem instantly, that can be useful at times.

Kommentar von 150529

A must-have spell that for some strange reason, some of my guildies didn't pick
(get it? mwhahahaha)

Kommentar von 163032

im the only mage in this world (i have done a google search too, nothing) who noticed a stupid thing - when u conjure food or mana gem presence of mind is used?

Kommentar von 742164

At other times you just don't have a mind present.

Kommentar von silkfire

Icon does not fit spell. What does Presence of Plate Helmet to do with a cloth-wearing mage?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok so here's the deal. This is a good talent but only use it when you have on presence of mind. Also if in a BG get berserker buff. The point of it is to use Presence of Mind, then Arcane Power and if possible get Arcane Energy. This will make it and instant cast, improve damage by 30%, and if you use Arcane Energy and/or Berserker buff, you will get +160 and/or 30% more damage. It really isn't a mana waster to if you have those other few buffs =)

3 min CD i think

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Quick question, does this make flamestrike instant?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Realy great, not. Just got hitted with a instant pyroblast for 5244. What the hell is wrong with Blizzard.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what is the cooldown of it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is a nice magic ! Ecspecially if you are a fire Mage and have Pyro, you can cast it instant ! :D I'm going to get this, ASAP :D
