What’s for you the most fun mage spec?
Not just damage, but also rotation/gameplay wise?
And why?
Which do you enjoy most in
Open world soloing?
Dungeons?
Raids?
Arena’s?
Battlegrounds?
Another question for my new mage alt, what level would you suggest to start with queueing for random bg’s while leveling?
Fire feels the most powerful but frost has the most control so it depends what you like. Arcane looks cool but isn’t fun to play atm.
Low level bgs used to be ruled by Arcane but I think they have been nerfed at low levels. They were really op in low levelling dungeons but played some the other day and I actually had to stop and eat mana buns once or twice! They can get instant dmg out with missles though… I’d probably go frost with ice nova and pet freeze, freeze things and ice lance.
All of them are fun I would say, since Warrior is in a bad spot/not very enjoyable, im rolling Mage.
Im going Arcane on PvP, their kit looks to be one of the best in terms of tools for every situation.
I don’t like playing broken specs for PvP, but I would probably play it for PvE.
Gonna give Arcane a try since the colors look amazing, but Frost if said spec doesn’t work out.
Undead Mage for that “Pre” human connectivity to magic.
From someone who plays every class, rogue & mage just doesnt do it for me tbh
I swap between arcane & fire, but i’d reccomend fire
Enlighten me…
I allways enjoy playing my outlaw rogue…
PvE but espescially PvP, not as much for the stealth, but for the controll it offers…
Rogue, energy trash class with only dps specs, bleh
Also cheap af in pvp to the point of not even being funny anymore
Mage squishy deeps with boring rotation
Wouldn’t recommend Fire until you have the right traits and gear really.
Arcane is straight forward, quite powerful at lower lvls but really boring later on.
Frost is for me a nice all rounder (and I consider it fun), just need totally diff gear sets for PvE and PvP atm - which kind of annoys me.
Hmmm… look closer. Fire and Frost have more cc. Big drawback of arcane is also when you get kicked you lose interupt and poly.
Yeah I did notice the interrupt is suicide on Arcane, but…
The perma slow on enemies + increased speed by me makes it so appealing.
And the colors look quite nice.
If it turns out bad i’ll go Frost.
By the way, people say Mage is kinda overtuned at the moment.
What’s your opinion?
I hate using overtuned specs because it’s obviously kinda unfair.
Espescially in lower level bgs arcane mages are gods currently, so much damage
Its only overtuned on a perfectly geared fire mage and then it’s not by much.
It’s popular in high m+ keys because it can do incredible aoe burst but the tank has to do big pulls around its 2min cds. It’s in a similar place to unholy only it can use it’s burst on any size pack or ST so it can melt awkward adds. For the 1m 50s outside of combustion it’s dmg is below average. In pug land where I live it’s very hard to do good damage overall in the dungeon as fire where the tank will have no respect for personal cds (usually).
Its been good in raid lately (top 3) but given that one of it’s bis trinkets for this tier is from last tier its likely to fall down the ladder soon.
I tried every spec and they all suck. Back to Classic where Mages feel like Mages, since level 20 upwards.
Your level 48.
