The Greatest Mage Post Ever.Follow

Why is everybody always talking about instant pyro?
I agree it is the best dmg ingame but it would be logical if we try to find another fire solutions like all instant cast abilites(I know it has been posted and we ARE trying,but id say:try harder), Im going to try this when Im higher LV, BUT for now,Im going to put some point here:
As it looks to me IAE is the coolest ability in game,Fireblast is the most dmg,CoC- the most useful ..... so:



Arcane Talents - 16 point(s)


Arcane Focus rank 5/5
Arcane Concentration rank 5/5
Improved Arcane Explosion rank 5/5
Evocation rank 1/1


Fire Talents - 12 point(s)

Impact rank 5/5
Ignite rank 5/5
Incinerate rank 2/2


Frost Talents - 23 point(s)

Permafrost rank 5/5
Ice Shards rank 5/5
Improved Frost Nova rank 1/2
Piercing Ice rank 3/3
Cold Snap rank 1/1
Arctic Reach rank 2/2
Frost Channeling rank 3/3
Improved Cone of Cold rank 3/3

I find this very interesting build!U can still use fireball as an opener or spamm it,kite with frostbolt rank 1...Can anyone give me some advice please?
thx

Are you retarded?????

LOL!!11!!11!!!

Thanks for keeping it up, filter.

I love the builds and I think I would like to try out a couple of them near end-game. However, I am curious to know if anyone has suggested builds for getting through the 20's, 30's and 40's the fastest. Re-speccing once or twice along the way is fine ... so if you have a different build for 20-35 than 35-40's, that's fantastic. I guess this is more of a challenge to people that like coming up with builds, because you only have so many talents to pick from in your 20's, and only a few more in your 30's. Thanks to anyone that responds to this. I'm sure I'm not the only one curious about this.

If you would rather Arctic reach, feel free. My logic behind that is this:

If I have to be in range to nova them to proc shatter, artic reach does me no good anyway.

And more importantly, If you go 31 arcane for AP, then you can't put more than 20 into frost....

Yes I will be experimently extensively once the patch goes live to test multiple builds.

The stickie will probably be deleted for apprx one week whle I work everything out, then reposted for review by the other mages in here so we can get some solid builds doen up in the least time possible.

The new calculator from wowhead is outdated.

Hey all. I am a 44 mage and thought i had my talents planned out to lvl 60. Than i saw that the new update will change a few things. I played around with a few different sets can came to two different ideas for sets that fit my playing style best. The first is basicly what i was going to use, but i dont spec evocation since they got rid of it. Also the second is a very iffy one. I have read that it is not to smart to spec both fire and ice, but i worked them out and it seems like it might work. But i dont really know since i cant really play around with them.

Basicly i like my full fire spec right now that i got down to 5/5 fire power, because i am able to solo stuff a lot easier and pwn in the battle grounds. So i know i want to keep the fire spec, just not sure if i should go arcane or not. In fact both of the fires are speced exactly like i have them now. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah i noticed that they change the instant cast feature of the arcane exposion after i submiited so i changed the specing. I am leaning toward the arcane one though.

ffs, almost nothing changed about builds 1.11,only few more points to spend on stuff that supports your build,I really dont know why did u erase all those builds when it is almost the same....

look at those few last posts,those builds are the same as 1.10 builds,talents changed only slightly...
but filter that 3 specc PvP really interests me,it is wild if I may say,perhaps too wild,hehe it looks almost the same as one of rogues builds(in points spend)....

Yeah,definetly completely new,and your post is quite well and detailed,and 1 time read is enough,thank you,This new aproach is good and efficient..I have nothing to say more....
but still u could only update your builds with those 2-3 talents that are changed...I was refering to that.Not that I mean bad things,I was just commenting
