Mage spec?

heyo so i dont mind learning a hard spec i just want to perform well so out of the 3 specs whats the best for both raids and m+?

Currently fire has the most versatility between raids and m+.

Both: arcane.
Raid and lower keys: frost.
Raid and higher keys: fire.

so safe to rule out frost. fire or arcane hmm!

Fire for M+
Arcane for raids

I find Arcane extremely satisfying to play in dungeons, Arcane Barrage spam when you get 4-5 procs in a row gives a big chunk of dopamine, but it’s only worth on forti weeks IMO, tyrannical as Arcane is boring af.

Fire is underwhelming and I find it the most annoying Mage spec.

So my vote goes for Frost since it’s the “safe pick” in most scenarios, good damage, good mobility and the tankiest of the 3 specs.

Decent, I’d say. Other specs do more.

Questionable. Frost is more on a “hard casting” side unlike fire or arcane.

Why?

All classes and specs are pretty balanced right now with a few exceptions. Some do more? yes, but Frost’s damage is competitive so that shouldn’t be a concern, is what I meant.

Your main rotation consists of Flurry, Ice Lance, Comet Storm, Frozen Orb, Cone of Cold, and buffed Blizzards which are all instant casts so I’d say that’s pretty mobile.

The only thing you really hard cast is Glacial Spike and you have Shimmer/Ice floes to move away if anything happens.

Double Ice block, barrier reset, and more slows/roots than any other spec in case you have to kite.
