i'm leveling my 1st alt, a mage (duh) and am planing on going frost for lvling with some AoE grinding for money making/clothdrop/grinding. I was looking at this build:

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=oi0VcMczZZVAMIscxsbo (to lazy to make it look good)

Ideas? do I need PoM for this build? can I group/PvP well enough with this so I don't have to respecc a million and a half times? Also I've heard that fire makes for faster lvling is that true?

Right now I'm at lvl 12 so this is a bit far sighted but I like to plan my toons before hand so I know what I'm doing and I don't get told to "L2 play n00b". Any way thank you for your input.

Edit: Fixed link, my bad.

I know that you are trying to think ahead but you're only level 11 right now so don't worry about this build for now just level how you want I leveled frost but I heard fire is better.
Frost will give you lot's of survivability and fire will do beautiful damage. tell me actually what your looking for the best in leveling because I went shatter crits for my whole leveling experience and it was amazing.

but yeah don't worry about your 70 build for now you have a long way to go.

I'm sorry lol
If you want me to post you a good build that allows you to have raiding potencial and pvp options so you can tackle small raids like kara and 5 mans and still do good pvp, then tell me and I will post one up for you.
Sadly it has no frost in it whatsoever but it is a good build
so reply and I'll post it.

MY GRAMMAR IS HORRIBLE

meh... it's ok This is just my 1st dive into the world of true casters so I'm kinda bumbling around a bit, and if you would please post your build I'll take a looky at it so I can get a feel for mages a bit better.

anyway I think that this build would be better with fire any way :) I think that I'll repecc a few times for AoE grinding with a full ice build.

33 Arcane - Deeper PvE or "Big crits to pull aggro off the tank."

Arcane Subtlety - 2/2
Arcane Focus - 3/5
Magic Absorbtion - 3/5
Arcane Concentration - 5/5
Arcane Impact - 3/3
Improved Counterspell - 2/2
Arcane Meditation - 3/3
Presence of Mind - 1/1
Arcane Mind - 5/5
Arcane Instability - 3/3
Arcane Power - 1/1
Spell Power - 2/2

Again, Concentration is key here, Arcane Mind to beef up that mana pool and my all time favorite talent, Instability adding crit and damage. A solid PvE spec with big numbers. Another option with this spec is to drop Meditation and get Potency.

use both these builds together.

28 Fire - Use with 33 Arcane or "Dial 1-900-Crit-Alot"

Improved Fireball - 5/5
Ignite - 5/5
Flame Throwing - 2/2
Incineration - 2/2
Pyroblast - 1/1
Burning Soul - 2/2
Master of Elements - 3/3
Playing with Fire - 2/3
Critical Mass - 3/3
Fire Power - 3/5

Continuation of the 21 build, nice when used with 33 Arcane, centers around lots of crits from both trees. Very strong burst as well, I like this one in 5 man dungeons and smaller raids, like Karazhan.

This is a build that you can tackle small dungeons and still have great pvp options.
I'm not 70 yet but when I am, I am going with this build and going to start an all mage arena team.
have fun leveling and don't follow this build to level just follow a frost or fire lvling uild.
