Reserved: What to spec as you level and best race for mage.

While I'm thrilled that you are taking it upon yourself to put this together, might I suggest that instead of writing everything from scratch again, to make use of the work that has already been done?

For example, I've recently written a "Talent Review" that covers all three talent trees. Unless it is incredibly bad (I think I did at least a decent job, if not a good one) I don't see why another one needs to be written up from scratch.

I've also written a Talent Progression Guide that has various different specs and the order in which to get the talents as you level. This one only goes from 1 to 60 and needs to be updated to level 70, but to be honest, most people have already figured out what to do talent-wise by the time they hit 60.

Just thought it would save you some time, but if you really want to do all the work yourself; that's ok with me too heh :)

I wasn't angry at all, just sticking with the humor that so many people have come to like in my guides.

As for reviews, I have to do one, been doing them since the mage talent rework.

Talent progression will use a lot of your stuff though, was gonna bug you about it when I got to that point.

Nice writeup, only put in a "PvE POV only" disclaimer in there before you get washed away by those posts/people.
Especially the imp Blink and imp Arc missle comments show that you havent PvP'ed in a looooong time.

(i blink almost everytime up, that skill saves 300 mana which is nice in PvP where i blink a dozen times before i die or drink, imp arc missle is THE interupt spell vs healers and other casters))

Lies.

This thread was not about me in any way, shape, or form, and is therefore not the greatest mage post ever.

cant wait for the fire guide and frost guide i never have tried arcane seems to boring but mana efficient but after reading this i realized that hey this sounds pretty good i might try it sometime thanks filterspawn.

I think he meant race.

Kinda contradicting yourself here. While instabability does ofer 3% spelldamage, a chance to gain more overall crit for the minimal investment in the tree is VERY good in long drawn out fights for raiding. Over the long run, you will see the 3% factor in. Also, it can be handy in PVP, should clearcasting proc, you have a 30% chance to crit, ON TOP of what you already have. For me as a fire mage, when clearcasting procs I have over a 65% chance to crit. Very handy indeed. Time for a POM, Power, Pyro to the face with a 65% chance to crit. Daddy like.

Don't forget to add in that Improved Fireball/Frostbolt reduce the damage the spells do.

Most mages around here know about it, but any newbs that wander by need to be informed(has Blizz even changed the tooltip to reflect this?).

I noticed.......after I looked at the spell description online and saw I was hitting for less than the lowest amount.

I still think its worth it though.
