http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Bronze+Dragonflight&n=Meltice So there's my mage. My problem is that in an instance my party members bellow at me for low DPS. Now it seems to me that I have to get my crit chance up (am I right here?) - do I have to change a few gems or not? And what you think of staff + wand vs one-hand weapon + off hander + wand?
(BTW, I've got my eye on some gloves that are badge rewards)
Thanks for your help guys.
Edited, Sep 25th 2008 7:18am by Deadlight A couple things.
1)Your staff and wand are more than adequate for instances. In fact, your gear is more than enough for 5 mans, both heroic and non. Hell, you'd be ok to do Kara/Gruul/Mag and even beyond to SSC/TK. A 1h + offhand would give you more damage, though you'll likely be in ZA or SSC before you see one that's clearly a better choice. Or you can get one via PvP.
2)I need more information. Walk me through your average instance run. How do you DPS? Do you run a threat meter? How about your latency - what is it and do you run Quartz so you can compensate for it? Are you pulling aggro often? Are you afraid of dying and thus holding back? Do your tanks mark a kill order? What type of tanks do you usually run with? How often do you use both your trinkets and your Icy Veins? How often do you find yourself dead?
3)Your spec needs work. At the least, you really want to have the elemental. On bosses, that + cold snap(so you can do another) will get you quite a bit of DPS. I'd suggest you use a build like
this, personally. The shatter will help you on trash DPS(Burst out some AoE Shatter crits if you don't believe me). The elemental will help you immensely on bosses and will also allow you to burst out even more shatter crits on trash.
Answer my questions in #2, and I'll help you more from there based on those answers.
