Mage Spec

[Rithonuwy]

What would be the best spec for a f2p mage? im currently arcane but dmg seems kind of gimped

 

[Mrcer]

dmg is gimped all around

arcane for dmg
fire for luls
frost to annoy ppl

uggg, this is my best geared ft2 dont wanna gear another, is frost decent for dmg?

Frost will be good in the coming patch.
Fire will suck in the coming patch
Arcane will be good for pve and pvp, but not so good imo.

My personal choice is a frost mage, the idea of Frost mages and any other for that matter is to survive ie. Doing a stam-stack. The is very good for a Frost mage because you have a lot of Cc and ways of escaping. The only thing that has to be excellent is your blinks for the rest your fine.

Do you have a 'loom staff? That and weapon enchant/wizard oil makes a big difference (52SP).

 

[hucklberry]

arcane for the 2 shots
fire will be awful next patch
frost if u dont wanna die 2billion times per bg

frost imo, it also helps with tot on that target. You need a hat of some sort, whether it be grinding for LFH or going engy and mining for 7 stam and 4 hit. This would also let you use different bracers and staff while still being hitcapped, or keep bracers and staff and just be more likely to hit 24's. Missing a poly or a counterspell on a 24 sucks. In any case you won't need that much hit in 5.2.
