I'm approaching 70 now, and starting to worry about my specialization.
I was leaning toward Spellfire, as my 1st idea was to go Arcane-fire
- pause at this point, if you guys know of better specs which would make my whole question pointless, please to lemme know.
- and by that, I mean the combo specs + tailoring specialization, coupling with raiding gear, etc...
Anyway.. recently however I read about the arcane-frost 40/21. I found that very interesting, specially because I've been leveling and doing instances quests as frost mage, so I'm pretty familiar to the best uses of cold snap.
Now, what I'm not quite familiar with is the spec mix strategy, how do we use it in a fight. In a recent experiment from 64-65, I went arcane-fire and had very awesome results with the 2xAB, 3xScorch, repeat, AM when in clearcast. But if the arcane-frost follows that method, that would mean I'd be casting a hell lot of ice spells, and with a critical boost from both arcane and ice for them.
So at that point I got lost. I'm looking here for personal opinions, either based on theories, facts, experiences, w/e. Questions are:
1) Did I make any sense?
2) If no, what's the best arcane-ice strategy?
3) Given that right now I'm not in conditions to build both sets, enchant and gem them, what would be best for someone who has just recently gotten to 70?
4) Is arcane even a decent option pre-tier 5?
Oh yeah, I'm talking strictly of PvE.
Thanx in advanced
