Spell Breaker

I was playing warcraft III and I saw that blood elves specialized n destroing mages and I have the ideia to create a character that could do this.
In fact a high level mage is quite indestructible with his spell but with a good strategy and some feats there´s a good chace to take one down if you no how
So What I´m planing is to create a character with the mage slayer feat, pierce magic and the pierce magic protection but I have to take support feats to make me stronger against the spell caster any sugestion about a prestige class, feats or magic itens that can help me in this.
If someone already created something of the kind feel free to post it there or if you created a good prestige class in this purpose could be if not lets make it know !!

Spellcaster are waiting us...

Well, there is the Occult Slayer in CW, not sure how useful it is, tho.

Generally, you would definitely need reach (i.e. spiked chain or large size) and Combat Reflexes won't hurt either.

But all that won't help you against a decent high-level spellcaster, that stuff is only a mild annoyance, nothing else.

The only really nasty effect against spellcasters at higher levels is an Antimagic Field.

A good archer, who readies attacks to interrupt the spellcasting can also be fairly effective.

With the Mage Slayer feat, how does a caster find it to be only a mild annouyance? Being unable to cast defensively is pretty deadly if you have reach also (at least in my experiance). What am I missing?

You are missing time stop and gate.

edit: Okay, contingency: teleport plus time stop and gate.

What am I missing?

5-ft. steps, movement, Tumble, wands, Contingency, etc.

-Dominate a beholder.

-Find an ability that allows you to threaten everything within range with a ranged weapon+Mage Slayer

-The Occult Slayer is very good at surviving against spellcasters. Given that high-level spellcasters are very mobile you need to find a way to either counter their mobility or match/surpass theirs.

Grappling is a good way to stop spellcasters.

Grappling is a good way to stop spellcasters.

High level casters tend to either have Freedom of Movement (via spell or ring), or be Blinking, or incorporeal (via Ghostform). At least evil ones who expect adventurers to come after them...

with mage slayer an archer can do this? I thought that to be chalanging him you need to be in a close fight I mean the wizard has to be near you doesn´t he?
If not any wizard will be target by an archer or this is only to 9 meters?
