Probably not a new idea, but I wanted to see if anyone had made it work.
Ok, first off... I was soloing golems in PoV the other day, I can do 3 at a time root / doting, but I wanted to try quadding again (done it before) and see if I could sqeeze a little more exp out of it. So I quad a set... takes a while BTW... I am not the most "uber" druid on my server by far, but I have some ok gear, and 290 wis with KEI on (level 65). With SCM3 and a mage earing it took 15 min-ish to do the quad (should be quicker once I get the hang of it and get a bigger mana pool, more FT (8th shawl soon), and more AAs).
So after that I figure I'll try something new, and this is where the quad idea comes in. I had just memed Winter's Storm the day before (got it late) and wanted to try it out. I pulled a single Golem to test on. My theory was to cast Winter's Storm, then train the mob through waves 2 and 3. Well... it worked and it didn't. A couple times all three waves hit and it was working really well. A handful more times 2 waves hit. A few times the mob caught me as I was running a tight circle. And twice the AE hit me / tried to hit me. So, has anyone ever tried this method successfully? I mean, I got it to hit all three times sucessfully 2 times on my first try, so I figure with practice it should be possible.
Imagin though... once you got good at doing 1 mob, you could eventually work your way up to doing 4... thats 10,200 total damage for 500 mana... so, do you think its doable?
By the way, I got the mob down to 54% and was at 20% mana after hitting only once alot, so I rooted it and finished it by dot / rooting.
