Thats my build right now at lvl 60. respeced so many times it will cost me 50g next time.

wut do u guys think of this build?

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/mage/talents.html?2050050301230150300100050500001000000000000000530320011004000000000

its supposed to kill fast for pvp. so basically ur casting order would look something like:

nova -> AP -> PoM -> Pyro -> FBlast (at this point if target is like down to last 20% health, just finish off with Ice Lance, CoC, and AE.

if still semi-alive-ish... -> CSnap -> nova -> IL -> CoC -> FBlast (cd probably up) -> AE...AE...

the APed pyro is supposed to have around 50+% chance to crit, and does around 4k damage + a 1600 tick from ignite, so thats 4k + 800 more every 2 seconds. im assuming usually people have around 6k or something life? the Fblast is probably still on AP since AP lasts 15sec, so the FBblast does 900 at least. and the AP probably still lasts, so yea target most likely dead in 10sec or so. cept maybe pally bubbles...

i think that might work? a problem though, u can only own one person every 3 min or so hahah. yea. comments?

Does anyone have a nice Build for a frost mage?
my currently build is:

Hey, I'm looking for a level 19 Mage Twink spec. I don't have any +fire, +frost, or +arcane dmg gear. Could anyone help me ^^? Greetz, Thaspraya

Well, i just love to pwn PvP with fire(this is a great spec for air fighting:P)
Just check out this one.

spec

You can have nice kills on the ones hovering over with flying mount like this:
Go above him(target range or more) dismount, slow fall, arcane power, presence of mind, (any other trinket buff or item), pyro, fireblast, cone of cold, and icelance if he's still alive :) With this spec i usually kill them in one run.
Btw, if you're expected down, just hit invis after finishing the job and go for cover and mount back up :)

all i have to say is if your goin arcane, get piroblast.
sheep, piro, PoM, piro! then wand them to death for all i care

how bout this spec im goin for the omg shatter crit combined with DB so my ice lance is effective at 70 as well as my fire damage http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ki0Vc0fzxIziZxgMzf00o its probably pretty bad idea but hey im not going to go through with it yet i may not do it at all if i hear its bad but for the moment im goin pure fire till 70 and than respec.

oh... and i totally forgot to mention that not only do the lockdowns give you bonuses to crit, but clear casting does as well. which means you'll be crit'ing a LOT for a TON of damage (due to additional crit and damage bonuses from arcane)!!!

if you add it all up, it's actually quite impressive -- even more so if you add in AP and +damage gear.

hya am new here and read somewhere that new build of fire/frost are good as well.
Am lvl 28 now and focussing on fire.
I don't like arcane much and prefer to use fire bolt (or frost bolt if i want the target slowed) instead of arcane missile. Arcane explosion i don't use either, prefer frost nova.
I dont do any/much PVP but am interested in getting targets down quick.

So here is what i would like to do :
Fire is my focus (cos i want to get 3000+ dps)
imp fireball 5/5
ignite 5/5
flame throwing 2/2
improved fire blast 2/3
incinerate 2/2
pyroblast 1/1
burning soul 2/2
master of elements 3/3
critical mass 3/3
fire power 5/5

frost to also be able to do good damage
imp frostbolt 5/5
elemental precision 3/3
ice shards 5/5
improved frost nova 2/2
shatter 5/5

arcane to get some resistance of my own and lower the ones of others
arcane subtlety 2/2
imp arcane missiles 3/5 (a loss of 3 points but i need 5 so...)
magic absorption 5/5
arcane fortitude 1/1 (is this one better or should i put a point in frost warding that increases armor also with 15%)

I know a lot of people go more into arcane to get arcane meditation or even PoM but do u need mana regen whilst casting so bad, i could just use manashield on me or frostnova on others and then use a mana potion ?

I just thought freezing target first and then use fire dps with the 50% increased chance of crit would be fenomenal.

Any ideas ?

PvP-wise it's no longer optimal to pick Improved Arcane Missiles, and hardly anyone does anymore; if a melee class is hammering on you, they can usually interrupt it anyway or you'll die. On other classes there usually is a superior choice - especially with the non-interruption set bonuses coming up. Also new spammable skills have been introduced that don't require you to stay put.

Better is:

2/2 Arcane Subtlety
3/5 Arcane Focus.

sorry for the mistake I'm new on allakhazam and wasn't sure on how to make links
so this is it:

Thanks it really helps me a lot but I can't see the use of +6% crit chance on AE. It feels weird, there has to be better arcane points to spend on.

i would go wid da frost because of the fact there are some spells in there that make the mage very powerfunl.ice barrier and ice block can always be helpful
