Hello guys,
What do you think about ?
in pve i find frost way easier to play than arcane.
I dont know pvp.
I find arcane more exciting to play, however u need to understand things first. Than , as the fight goes on u need to realize wich is the best solution in each situation, than execute it.
As a beginner, i find it challanging to put things together as arcane.

Frost = super easy mindless button spamming of ice lance and aoe blizzard / orb
Arcane = better have a degree in meta physics and willing to diagnose 3 seperate cooldowns / waiting for the stars to align to pull off your top damage. All whilst running around like a lunatic trying to avoid mechanics.

Same question, but about pvp.
My friend plays arcane and has a big difficulty killing opponents. He’s PVP geared. No idea what is the problem. Feels to me he should go frost, but we need advice about how these two specs are in PVP specifically.
None of those specs and mage in general is easy vs the current Melee meta.
If we talk 1v1 and frost : you"ll only manage to kill warriors and that Only if you are experienced with cooldown usage and deff cds vs their toolkit, everything else will kill you with eas. (Talkin vs Good players and not newbs)
With arcane on same scenario 1v1 : you will def have more options to kite easier and more burst to pressure , kite melee’s easier since most of the times you cast missiles on the run , or Arcane barrage to slow them instantly.
Vs casters , especially lock/sp , no chance as a mage whatever spec/exp you have.
Now the fun part , arena: Dont touch mage if you dont go with strict setups, as RMP, RmD , Rm for 2s etc.
On the meta we currently have , mage requires even better synergy with its partners cause 2 much zug happening.
Arcane is the high skill cap spec for 3s , frost is mostly kekw viable except if you have partners like whazz , or minjpoke to assist you.
Theres a reason you see 2 mages on 100th teams on ladder at highest ranks. (And one of those is raiku… who rolled his sp instead)
Play what you love is my opinion, ill have to inform you though, its gonna be hella rough in arena, 1v1 and especially in solo shuffle where ev1 plays with its brain plugged off and mage requires setup to apply pressure. Gl.

here i am checking this also, but i really dont trust the comments as i see little pvp done by most of you here 
if someone is really pvp’ing around here please do offer your insight, thanks <3
Frost is way easier. Everyone telling you something else has no clue
frost is easier to play, especially in constructed 3v3 where you can play to its strengths in comps like mage/lock. with that said, it is easier to climb as arcane because arcane is currently better tuned, more self-sufficient and also synergizes with many more specs.

Only true if you can actually pull Arcane off. As it stands, to a certain ranking if you don’t have Arcane and setups down to a T you’ll get rolled over by pretty much anything.
Frost is easier, but Arcane is stronger in PvP.
Arcane isn’t super complex on a base level, but it has arguably the highest skill ceiling of all classes/specs in the game. Also Arcane just has a sh*t ton of buttons.

For pve frost is more simple to learn than the current arcane spec.
The best spec from those two? IF you master it is Arcane.
But first watch a guide about arcane rotations and playstyle(punishing rotation+big setup) as well as frost the you can go ahead and choose.
