F2P F2P Mage Guide

Hey you might want to add something to tips and tricks for blink. If you turn the opposite way of where you're blinking (or which way you want to go) while panning the camera and then right clicking, you quickly turn to that direction, thus you can juke people with blinking after turning really quickly, due to latency they can't see you turning so you can easily escape or juke. This works with displacer beast aswell for druids. But yeah, I've had like 5 people keep running the same direction when i blink behind them, it's pretty useful. Great guide! I'm keen to make another mage now :p

Yeah sorry dude my bad, I thought the whole thing was just on blinking to avoid spells. Anyway, can I ask why you have the crit loom shoulders for frost and arcane instead of the haste ones? And the haste loom staff for fire? Just curious, seems unusual

Posted a haste set as "CC set" i figured that having a set that lets you get shatters aswell works good on the offense where its needed. Also arcane could work withe the haste heirlooms aswell but with full int stack you can crit for like 1300 and thats alot of stopping power ^^

As for the fire i added a set with haste and crit to quickly gwt casts out and with the extra crit it should be easier to get more pyroblast procs over the course of a game, also have pure crit sets in there :p
Edit: noticed the grand staff of jordan on the fire set, must have missed that when i changed the guide in 6,0 so thanks ^^

Aha ok sweet, overall pretty great guide and i'm now almost geared for the fire set :p

Also noble's robe has less stam intellect and crit scaling than heirloom robe. its 8/8/11 whereas loom is 13/9/12

Hey there I think you should change the Fire spec alliance mages gloves to some thing with crit. Any one have any suggestions?

Also a reminder that you MUST keep engineering if you are going to be wearing the engineers goggles
 
If you cry every time someone calls you something as little as dumb for example, you're gonna have a bad time :)

New here didn't see how the forum was but looked at some posts and theres name calling in every thread to the extreme .. Not my cup of tea

Yea the forums lately have been getting pretty out of hand, my advice to you would be to maybe just observe the forums until you understand how they flow, If you want to give your input, go right ahead, but dont be offended every time someone calls you a fgt, loser or dumb ect.
 
Note the Tattered Dreadmist mantle is not able to be purchased on a pure F2P account nor are the Swift Hands of Justice or Discerning Eyes of the Beast. These all cost gold

Does any one have any suggestions for Fire mage to replace them I know you can do Rune of Perfection but there would still be one left remaining I am thinking the Gurubashi Arena Master.

Gloves of Anguished Cries - Item - World of Warcraft

Merry Christmas. I think there might be a pair of gloves from Loch Modan quests that give crit as well, but it's been several years since I've quested in that zone.

Incorrect. Those can be purchased via the Darkmoon Faire.
 
Hi guys I used to F2P Frost mage FC before leaving about 2 years ago. I found a video of me FC'ing and my mage is actually still wearing the FC set from back then dunno how up to date it is. Here is the video. PuG, keep checking mid and know if ou control or not. I attempt to hide to right when arriving at tunnel end. I blazing speed + nova then blink of BS jump then pop a speed pot. I got lucky with rogue at mid lol, and I CS'ed the priests MC. Do we still have CS??? Anyways here it is.

No more CS at 20. Currently have access to ice barrier for a bit more survivability, but that may get removed in the next patch. Frost also has ice lance and a new talent: http://www.wowhead.com/spell=205021/ray-of-frost that is extremely strong. Luckily priests don't have MC in this bracket anymore though.
