The exact opposite. Quad DA is dumb and should never work in those instances, because NPC's (especially dragons!) should have enough brain to stop chasing a single irrelevant player when there are 100 others invading their lair.

What's fun about mage is doing big DPS, which is mainly applicable outside of raids since their damage spells suck on raid targets, and being able to "tank" with chain-summoned pets, which is now broken.

I think they are confusing mages with wizards.

Um, what?

Mage = coths, quad DA, and maybe mod rods when cleric numbers are tight.

Wiz = Porlos and TL boxes, relevant dmg on kunark stuff too

Sorry, Mm not familiar with this abbreviation - "DA" nor do I know how a mage "Quads" we have no snare or group dot.

DA stands for Divine Aura aka invulnerability and is often the term used to describe invulnerability spells/songs (even if they are named something else). Mages have access to the most amount of consecutive casts of DA spells/effects of any class in the game.

Quad as you identified refers to doing things in a group of 4, often times used to describe a kiting strategy of killing 4 mobs at a time.

Quad DA puts the 2 together, the act of using DA (invulnerability) type spells and/or effects 4 times in a row to achieve 4 times the length of vulnerability. Allowing for a roughly 90 second window of continued invulnerability that a mage can use to completely change the landscape of challenging raid encounters.

Its mostly a high end late game tactic that raiders use to expedite the killing of the highest value targets in the game, most often seen in use in the inner ring of Temple of Veeshan.
