Just a quick question, what is the best lvling spec for a mage?
I hear a lot of arguments...
Fire/Ice?
Like Werries said it's about pref. I like fire for one reason only, I kill mobs my lvl in 3 casts. If I crit 2. And it's a feast in an instance. Some guys play Ice for the CC abilities and PvP.
Fire in PvP can be briliant also. I think a Fire mage is the only char that can hit a Twink Warrior (lvl 29) for 400 - 500 damage on a crit Pyro and then burns off about another 60 for a few seconds.
Ice is more for survival. Even a Fire spec mage has Frost Nova and Arcane explosion. The problem is that it chows Mana like no other if your not spec'd for it
Anyway. Remember you can respec, play around a bit and find the one you like best. I did Gnomer the other day and was by far the top DPS guy there.
I think the non elite gnomes in there was great help as I used Arcane explosion. Like mentioned before, it can be done as fire spec, the mana just doesn't last well. I have 2 mages. One lvl 34 on Burning blade (Ally) and a lvl 13 or so on TH (Horde)
TBH I'm sad I didn't start with a caster, they so much fun
