    @nobubbles4u Err well if you want, it doesn’t really matter. Arcane can absolutely destroy in single-target dps, but frost can, “arguably”, be just as good. Arcane is a huge mana-burner too, at lower levels especially, and frost spells cost the least mana in the first place. I don’t love fire myself, either, and I’m split between frost and arcane after 60~70 :(

    @Ka1igon ok thanks, so if i was to pick frost, it would be as good as if i was fire, or arcane at a low level. but i would choose frost when i hit 50+?

    @CreepingDawnbringer
    I can clear the trash in all normal modes and most of the trash in heroic instances. Bosses are hit and miss, some are completely impossible for mages, others I can pull off if I prep for them. An example of an instance I can’t solo would be heroic halls of reflection, I can do the first 2 or 3 waves. I might be able to do more if I was able to get full CDs between each wave =/ Frost is best for arenas. Arcane is arguably better in BGs. Fire is meh, but tons of fun.

    @zilent213
    Well, you could skip it if you want, however, the mana regen component is very helpful for leveling. Also idk if I would use the WE glyph for leveling, you want to be able to cast those freezes to get shatters.

  6. Ka1igon says:

    @nobubbles4u
    Technically the “best” spec will generally be whatever spec you last learned a new rank of fireball or frostbolt in was. Up to level 50, almost any spec is alright, once you hit 50 though WE is such a huge help that everything else is substantially worse from that point on. (plus ignite damage takes too long, you have to wait for it to tick to kill mobs or waste extra mana casting scorches, frost is all up front whic his nice).

    @tmdpc
    Ya, the intro was a little long, it was supposed to be the first in a series that, as of yet, I haven’t expanded.
    Music… hmm… well, just hope none of the Zelda fans out there find you, they’ll prolly throw duku nuts in your general direction.
    The jumping is important; once you jump you’re moving in a set direction and can rotate for LOS while still moving directly away from the mob (if you don’t jump you will end up on a crooked-ish kite path which is ok if you have the space).

    woa! greates mage video ever!! *subscribe* hope u do more videos! gz

  9. tmdpc says:

    @TheComboKid – No… FaxMonkey’s vids are much better. I recommend them highly.

  10. tmdpc says:

    Meh – Good vid I guess but seriously dude – 75 seconds of intro and credits? C’mon man…

    Plus, you seriously need to rethink your music choice. Thats not techno, that crap is like Muzak on meth…

    Also – (I am being totally serious here) What is the point of jumping before strafing? Does it cancel the current cast or something?

  11. zilent213 says:

    Do I really need improved water elemental because I got the glyph.

  12. TheComboKid says:

  16. nobubbles4u says:

  17. joekes2 says:

  22. OoOMidnaOoO says:

    @SuperFamousstars best for pvp spec is frost!

  23. ballerness86 says:

    If i am correct this is for PvP in BG’s and Arena. Please correct me if im wrong. Also for PvP i want to cast fast but powerful frostbolts…how much haste rating and hit rating aswell as spell pen would i need to achieve that ( i know hit rating doesnt have much to do with timing and power and naming spellpower would be to obvious considering it comes with mage gear at 80. Thanks for all your help! peace out!

  24. ballerness86 says:

    heyy lol wuddup man! love ur video, it helped me with my mage quite a bit lol but ay tell me if the following is correct:
    (PVP)
    Glyphs – Glyph of Water Elemental (30 sec cd reduction)//Glyph of Evocation (regens 60% of health aswell as mana)// Glyph of Ice Barrier (30% more absorption)
