bah dont listen to them.. really the only reason i went with frost/arcane was for solo pve, and the fact that im attuned and im always asked to come to MC runs for some reason. the fact that im spec'd to handle a crowd and the fact that i know how helps heh.
take felwood
i go up to the deadwood furblogs camps . i see 6-8 milling around and give a quick shudder and im off
flamestrike opener, blink, imp arcane explosion x2, cone of cold, ice barrier, frost nova, Imp blizzard so that its hitting them the whole time i.e. my outter edge of the circle is touching both them and me.
by then my mana is kaput so i slap my mana ruby and a superior mana pot, and hit cold snap. ends all my frost cool downs, frost nova. ice barrier again, evocation then imp arcene explosion ftw.
i have cleared even in west plague lands up to 12 toons this way. granted due to lag or resists ive died before but 90% of the time i win.
also im half way passed honored with timbermaw.
with fire i would have to say the same.. but you lack the cool ice barrier shield. id open with a flamestrike then a cone of cold, frost nova, combustion flamestrike followed by a blast wave from hell. then imp arcane exp blah blah.. it works just have to find yoru stance
also note.. find a player that has a priest, become friends.. priest shield is a mages friend.
or do like i do. have two account and have a wirless keyboard sitting by ya from your 2nd computer with your priest ..all hot keys. hehe its evil but doable.
at first i was like. my god im usless look at the other classes takeing down stuff left and right but i use too much of my mana doing it.. then i was like
wait a tic.. ive got all these aoe spells for a reason. so instead of 2-3 at a time lets take a bit of dmg and a 10 min cool down and just nuke a ton of them at once.
also if your just farming for gold and such go do with with camps of lvl 40ish things or even 30ish youll be suppriesed how fast you get some gold going.
i go into the court yard of SM all the time with the undead and spend two hours aoe'n them i tele to IF sell or ah stuff and end up with at least 20g for my time. also note this area has both elite and non elite undead, palys rock here too.
and they have a high respawn rate. locked chests abound and herbs.. an the rare grave moss herb can be gotten here. hehe
ungoro crater is another.. just use your wand to tab through the tar elementals then do what i listed above. most arent ranged casters just cast root most the time. heh pfft root i plan to stand still anyways.
basically my mage tenere has gone from 2-3 a bar of mana to 8-15 a 2 bars of mana.. like i said evocation ftw.
but then some say you do all that fance spell work and your down time is 10 min you still have a lose there.. i say nay.. while my 10 min cool downs are going i can still hit 1-3 toons a mana bar until the cooldowns are gone. pfft and i though a rogue was cool.
