Preparing for 70Follow

Talk to your guild. If they're willing to let you raid as frost, you'll be fine as a frost mage in both PvE and PvP. I'd recommend something like this for both.

If you weren't planning to PvP, I'd personally say go with something more like this for a more raid focused build.

Some guilds, however, require you to raid as a 10/48/3 fire mage. So again, talk to them.

if your gonna PvP more then a frost spec is great. You can still do some good damage in raids with frost and will pwn in PvP. If your like me and wanna raid alot but still hit up arena when you feel the need the PoM/fire build is great. Your survivability will be much lower and you'll need to get a raid set and pvp set of gear but with a good team you can still pwn.

I'm sorry, but your whining about Warlocks is getting extremely old. Please, just stop. Just stop.

They are a balanced class*. Your on a dumb mission anyways, since none of us here can make them a balanced class. Ugh. Go whine on the O-Boards, we don't need you here.

In response to Damoleces.

I wouldn't worry too much about warlocks, or any other class. Blizzard admitted that mages in the same quality of gear do less damage than other classes, (includes warlocks but is not limited to them.) And that is exactly why blizzard intends on buffing mages damage output in raids next patch. So instead of nerfing warlocks they are buffing us, which should make us balance.

Except blizzard can't truely no whats balance until they actually put it in the game. So mages are going to be just fine.

Roll a rogue and just see how much fun it is to get revenge on warlocks, thats what I did considering they own me.

In response to Enigmen, if the guild requires you to spec fire for raids, go spell cloth tailoring. If they require you to go frost go shadoweave tailoring. If they dont require you to go anything, spec what ever you find the most fun. And choose spell cloth tailoring if you spec fire and shadoweave tailoring if you spec frost.

And make sure you know which spec you want to/required to go because it will be hard as hell and annoying as hell to change spell cloth tailoring to shadoweave tailoring or vise versa. And I think thats what it is call shadoweave tailoring.

Seriously? That proves me ignorant? Intriguing.

I'm very aware of facts. I just tend to not look at them so negatively. How is that ignorance?

No, not really.

Ignorance (Source: Dictionary.com): The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

Ignorant: (Source: Dictionary.com): Lacking education or knowledge.

Since I clearly know the facts, and choose to look upon them in a different way, I've proven myself to not be ignorant. However you calling me ignorant shows that you don't know--or understand--the definition of ignorant. Thusly it looks like you're ignorant.

Thanks, and good bye :).

This is a weird post... are all of Damoloces' posts removed? (Rated down?).

I believe that warlocks are the anti-mage class, so be it. I rolled a rogue and kill them. ;-) Rogues are the anti-cloth class. ;-) When I get tired of getting killed by warriors, I hop back on my mage and start killing them.

Yes, he got rated down.

Yes, I contributed to said rate downs.

He has a huge chip on his shoulder about locks, and not a post goes by from him that isn't a whine about locks in some way shape or form.

Actually, you've been rated down enough, and not just by me because I don't think I've rated you quite that much, that you're now at an instant Sub-Default start to your rating.

I think at 70 I may as well go Fire. It seems to be what's more accepted in Raiding and it seems still viable in PvP. I think perhaps I'll try something like PoM/Pyroblast or something.

Who knows, but, with 70 right around the corner I'm starting to farm rep. When I hit 70 I can be geared fairly quickly :). I'm pretty excited.
