The Greatest Mage Post Ever.Follow

Are you going to reflect the fact that Arcane is a really good end-game spec and not the piece of crap you make it out to be in the final revision?

You know, it's still missing sections III and IV.

i'm a new mage lv-54.still stuck on arcane. but your defenseive to offense spell intrique me. how do you do that with Ice block. or is it JUST Ice Block.if you have the time . could you explain to me how it's done

I must say I admire your panache in the intro, Baron. Well played indeed.

I said I was going to put it in there somewhere in this thread, and basically ****** off and forgot.

I'll wrap it up by the end of this coming weekend I promise.

Indeed it does.

the build isn't bad, but you are missing a few things.

1) You didn't say what you want to use it for

2) Get rid of frost warding, useless points.

3) You picked some good talents in both trees, but failed to pick talents that sometimes compliment them (picked permafrost as a fire mage, along with other +critical stuff for frost spells when you are heavily fire).

4) Ignored important talents in the fire tree like molten fury + incinerate + pyromaniac.

Hope that helps

you said in the main thread theres actually a best race to be for mage. what exaclty is ur opinion of best race for a mage?(i think u skipped it. i mightve missed it. a lot of info)

im an undead mage and love it. my friend who got me into the game is a troll.

i picked undead for the coolness but the racial trait "Will of the Forsaken: Activated ability that makes the Undead immune to fear, charm and sleep effects temporarily" is what ppl say is good about this race.

if i didnt pick undead it would of been troll cause they be second in coolness. the trait "Berserking: Activated ability that increases attack and casting speed; increased effect when badly injured" and "Regeneration: Increase health regen bonus" would be another awesome mage.

thats ma two cents.

So I was wondering what Build would be the most useful in the EndGame Raids/Quests and stuff

I'd recommend sticking with frost talents while leveling up/questing/instancing until 70. Survivability is a must.

I have been Fire since creation of my Mage and I love every bit of it. I switched to Frost to work my way through some of the Fire Resistant mobs in Searing Gorge faster...but after that I'm right back to Fire. In my opinion a properly played Mage should have just as much success with Fire as with Frost, and survivability should not be an issue. I know that Frost has many toys to play with that enhance survivability...I just never had a problem surviving without them so it's never been an issue.

Frost is just so boring..it's like watching a horrible movie in slow motion. You know it will end eventually but it takes soooo long to get the the end credits. I'd rather hit the >>FF>> button and two shot them with a couple Fireballs.
