I'm trying to build a general idea for a fire mage that keeps allies in control, and has some ways to stall the hero. It has one or two finishers.

Hero: Cerripha Sunstreak

Allies: 13
1 Waz'luk x2
2 Erindae Firestrider
3 Alchemist Norrin'thal x4
3 Sha'kar x4
4 Horkin Figluster
7 Magistrix Larynna

Abilities: 31
1 Spell Suppression
1 Sear
1 Everlasting Cold
2 Arcane Intellect
2 Conterspell
2 Blast Wave
2 Polymorph x2
2 Spell Richochet x2
2 Blink x3
2 Blaze x4
2 Ice Lance x4
3 Nether Fracture
3 Smoke or Croak
3 Fire and Ice x2
3 Living Pyre x4
4 Brain Lock
5 Roaring Blaze

Equipment: 4
2 Arcanium Signet Bands
3 Devil-Stitched Leggings
4 Voidfire Wand
8 Gladiator's Regalia

Quests: 12
Blueleaf Tubers
Kibler's Exotic Pets
Zapped Giants x2
Orders from Lady Vashj x4
Information Gathering x4

Running on a low budget here, so there's lots of singles...

I'm thinking I should start buying some Illidan packs, and more copies of Regalia and Voidfire Wand?

i could give u a nice idea for a horde fire mage, 4 Vexmaster Narjo, 4 Offender Gora, 4 Brok blood caller, 2 or 3 Rasfari, after that full fire dmg spells, oh and also 4 Sha'kar. Keep the hero and maybe add silvermoon city(if its too prizey she still has a nice flip)

Pulled a The More, the Scarier, so I guess that's a start?

great start i would say, but there are also nice good commons that can help ya like blisterin fire i think that is the name, u pay 1and deal 3 fire dmg to target hero, not taht bad
