terror is a fucking inspiration. Terror is a rode model to any young, aspiring shitter to raid with #1 guild (grizzly >>> bizno>praise? idk lol). With Terror, it is undeniable proof that any person with IQ of 40 can pick 'mage' class and end up in top premade, top guild. In fact, you become immune to lava as well. :^)

Yeah same

True ! I want to have higher level games vs horde, but I don't want to go horde because I get impatient easily. There are only like 15-20 people on alliance I actually enjoy playing with, the rest (even if 'good enough') make noob fucking mistakes or shit calls, and Its frustrating and draining to play with them due to the skill/passion difference. People that love this game tend to be better. I imagine on horde its even worse. I am getting too old to put in the energy to try to make people better, rather just be myself and allow myself to be drawn to play with people of similar caliber. Someone save the horde please ! Horde has some good players but there is ZERO leadership. Horde were hopeful temporarily after the uhd-made in WSG almost a month ago. People have to stop 'trying to join' good players, but instead BE the good players.

Best I know is to get ahead of pack at launch and AOE grind. If leveling 'with the pack', just quest normally. Find quiet spots and kill as much stuff as fast as you can, and don't worry about min/maxing quests especially in areas like stranglethorn. IF you are giving your mage alt 100g to level faster, invest all of it into health and mana pots and use them like you would in diablo 2.

because BiS gear you get around 170~SP. and your crit chance is so small (like 11%, maybe 15% if you stack it with current gear). Fire blast scales badly but has great baseline damage. I havent sat down to do the math but trust me, having %more fireblasts (instants = god in pvp, so u can focus on positioning, also meele leeway bug is broken so u can kite way too easily w/ instants). im just saying IN THIS CURRENT GEAR AND SERVER THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE, IVE NEVER LOST A BG and only died in wpvp to SL warlock once and 2 times when i was afk in crater. After full t2+ZG gear and hopefulyl they fix meele leeway mechanic similar to corecraft, yeah probably gonna be 5/5 ignite no question. idea is you just gotta be smart and adapt like if u think about, ignite at best is 40% of 15% dmg increase. (6.5% overall increase ish) fire blast (used on cd in pvp almost) the 1.5sec cd reduce is down from 8s to 6.5s, which is basically a 5s cooldown since u deal with GCD. insane difference lol boss fights shouldnt last more than 30s-1min. you never want to wand (except for onyxia p1 if your guild wants to go into phase 2 with full mana) only time u wanna maybe use improved wand is if you're leveling a twink and you get BiS wand and you are memeing you have trouble differentiating intent and impact. I dont wanna say 'oh i wanna help xd' then be a total noob that doesnt know what im talking about. i need to prove credibility before i fucking try to give advice. Last troll comment im responding to (Assuming the 1h+ boss fight questions are just newer players)

Assuming you are going for the YOLO-montage type build... try this: changed some points around: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#of0AbRboZxTGzr0ub0h . Definitely 3/3 imp FB. 3 minute spec sucks right now since caster gear is disproportionately worse than its ever going to be. You have no crit, you deal with the pvp resists (only 1% hit available from scholo belt, deal with 5.6%~ or whatever pvp resist). the 3 minute mage is sick after full t2/ZG gear. If u were a good player youd understand the goal is to show the game time and the opponents in a game. people in game that know me are aware i screenshot almost everything lol If you are new to the game, honestly just avoid improved wands as mage for now and just take the 3/3 elemental precision, the rest you can experiment on your own and learn that way, or just follow guides online but i prefer to experiment Overall, depends on your goals. http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#oZZchG should be your build so far.... then if you want to try aoe grinding, youtube 'frostadamus' he makes good guides, and respec at lvl 35 with something like this http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#oZZMhMIsfzh, then build whatever after that in into ice barrier, but NEVER get frostbite for aoe-grinding. If you want to pvp, avoid imp blizzard and use frostbite instead Doing mafia stuff and pvp prem's with a 0/11/40 build, and so far its my favorite in non-raid by far: improved fireblast + fireblast range +impact is underrated. Even though imp CS and clearcasting is so good, its in my opinion overrated http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#obZVMhzZVAGdkftho However, I had this build: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#of0VZzZVAMIsftho (10/1/40) from lvl 30, and didn't respec until the 3rd MC raid I did one month into the server. It is my favorite 'general' spec, if you want to pick one thing and never respec for a while :^) There's a lot I can improve

how do you think people build skillsets in life? How do great musicians, surgeons etc master their craft? Time+dedication. Talent is overrated :^) Except for me I came out of the womb destined to be #1 mage in vanilla WoW private servers, and the #2 mage doesnt even fucking come close not even 1% as good as me. -drchristie

+ lmao zethkur

I'm not the best mage to ask this. Only 'boss' I tried was soloing princess in Mara, which was possible with a basic pvp spec + health pot. But one time I died to Herod when I tried out farming SM. There are youtube vids etc of others doing this much better than me and I was never really was interested in doing this kind of stuff.

Hi, Looking to give back to community and answer random mage questions but first to build some credibility. No, I don't consider "been playing since 2004, etc" credible or relevant. Results are the bottom line. I am #1 mage in pve + pvp PvE: http://imgur.com/a/MinsZ ("pressing 1 button is really hard !! xd") reference: http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/Ranking.aspx?Bosses=00010203040506070809&realm=Ely&andplayer=Rubis&ClassLimit=Ma PvP: http://imgur.com/a/imTXz (vs: 'toughest' horde premade currently in a pre vs pre) Never lost a game in a BG on this character since elysium launch. 60h+ probably in pvp, but under 10 solo que games played total. Bonus: (Since I was #2 here): Leveling: http://imgur.com/a/oKTTc ("did you quest or aoe grind? xd") If your question can be solved in 10 seconds via google I probably won't answer
