Can you split the BIS gear into Fire and Frost? Seems all your gear is still Frost related, yet ZG+ we can start to spec fire, and I'd like to know a Pre-Raid BIS Fire list. TY

Can't seem to locate any rejuv buffs in AB/WSG or AV. Perhaps you have overlooked this issue for 9 months? Having to drink after every single fight with no hope of scoring a quick rejuv buff, is demoralising, boring, and a part of BGs that was in place in retail for so long frankly I forgot they were introduced. How about you at least put rejuv buffs back in like there were most of for vanilla, all of TBC, all of Wrath etc etc.... Yes I'm angry because I already know what the answer will be. I can't wait to hear a reply about "Keeping Elysium pure 1.12.1 vanilla" with no improvements whatsoever. Excited! Regards

Hi, everytime I go to do something while mounted it comes up with "You must dismount first". This isn't 2005. How about you fix it to auto dismount like you would expect. EZ-dismount doesn't solve the problem. It makes PvP semi-retarded trying to get off your mount for every fight, stuck on the global, and it's frankly just a nuisance that I would have expected to have been fixed in the first week of release. I'd like to hear in your infinite wisdom why we can't dismount automatically like in late Vanilla. Thankyou Regards

I have a 60 Mage with close to BIS keen to join. From Perth, WA -> Megalag

You can't go below 0 spell resists in pvp or pve. It doesn't exist.

Superomegaop That was a brilliant post. I don't even play a rogue or a warlock, but props where props is due this post was a wave of information. Nice work !

Unless this is a mixture of PVE/PVP this is mostly bad advice for the OP If you are considering PVP only read below. Not get hit? Do you win your fights on 100% hp - you must teach me. Stack Sta - what the? Did you arena in TBC? What is this nonsense? Burning Soul redundant? I had over 110,000 hks and I can tell you 70% pushback is essential in BGs - esp if you are giving up Ice Barrier for this. You cannot avoid getting hit while casting. Ignore melee/pets/aoe for a minute and consider a caster casting on you while you are casting on them - someone's going to finish earlier and pushback the other one. There are many many situations pushback resistance is essential, far too many to list. This is one of the major advantages Scorch has over Frostbolt - pushback resistance coupled with almost half the cast time and no travel time. The reason my build has 3/5 shatter is because you don't need it. You have 10% crit on scorch/fb already - the extra shatter crit% is just a bonus. Frost on the other hand needs shatter maxed as you won't get crit chance any other way outside of Winters Chill. There is no passive +crit% talent in frost like there is in fire. An extra 30% crit chance on fire spells if target is frozen is excellent, but there's no need to pull damage talents out of fire to max it. I've never seen a competent player let an opponent cast a full fireball at them. Outside of opening on a sheeped player - that's 3.5 seconds for someone to not react..

For a spec you played since 2005, I'm surprised you didn't notice this: I just gave your scorch/fireblast +30% crit chance when the target is frozen (from your Frost Nova/Ice Armor proc/CoC proc). http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#oZVgGzf0uhq0Ghobu This is assuming Vanilla gear gives you 3% hit chance. If not 1 or 2 points in Elem Precision is needed - but not 3! It's a great concept your spec tho - Full Fire, with enough in Frost to get Iceblock while skipping Frostbolt/CoC improvements, as you won't be using them except as rank1 snares. I like it ! 3 Questions: 1. Does not having Ice Barrier become a problem? I would think it would be a big deal. 2. Imp CoC (1000 dam instant) vs 6% more fire damage. Dunno, sounds like giving up a lot.. It DOES use a lot of mana tho... 3. Do you really have enough damage with scorch/fireblast etc with all the damage talents? Is taking down a healer harder then full Frost? I also think you are giving up : max rank frostbolt nukes -> Frostbite -> Large Crits !! for: Longer cast time Fireball nukes -> Impact stuns -> ?? Scorch cast ?? Which overall equals longer cast time for less damage overall. Which I think would be a problem. No matter how much you buff Scorch, it won't compete with Frostbolt. Plus the crit dots aren't instant, and can be dispelled, shielded, hotted etc. My 2 cents
