3. Frost PvP Gearing & Gemming
Basic things to know
Spell Penetration cap 80 (Very Important)
Spell Hit cap 5% (Extremely Important) Hit rating>All Stats
Spell power/haste most important stats after Spell Penetration/Hit Rating.
Resil is important as a mage you should aim for around 300 a mages mana is basically his/her health bar.
your health should be around 13k-ish
Okay there are two best in slot gear setups for frost PvP.
4piece 4piece
4piece 4piece is a VERY strong set-up for frost mages in pvp due to having the 4piece bonus of Brutal gladiator's set and the 4piece bonus of the Tempest set
4piece Brutal (Helm, Shoulders, Chest and Gloves)
4piece Tier 6 (Boots, Belt, Bracers, Legs)

4. Frost in Arena (Comp Setups & How to play Specific Comps)
Frost mages are probably one of the best "Wizards" in WoW due to them having Insane Crowd Control (Frost nova, Improved Cone of Cold, Shatter Barrier, Deepfreeze, Pet Nova and Polymorph.)
Being able to endlessly kite any melee class with frostbolt is also very nice.
A frost mage in 2v2 is great partnered with a Disc Priest, Shadow Priest, Destuction Warlock, Sub Rogue, Mutilate Rogue and Resto Shaman
How to play these comps.
FrostMage/Disc Priest How to
At level 70 this comp is EXTREMELY strong due to being able to kill anyone in a deep freeze if you are playing with a priest that plays offensively.
Using Smite, Holy Fire, Devouring Plague, Shadow word: Pain, Shadow word: Death and Shadowfiend offensively is very important in this comp.
Chaining your crowd control
You want to chain your CC's as much as possible to set-up a kill.
Polymorph --> Polymorph --> Polymorph --> Fear --> Mind Control
FrostMage/ShadowPriest How to
This comp is much like Frostmage/Disc priest but with ALOT more damage but less healing.
At 70 you should be killing everyone cept maybe a full hotted resto druid in a deepfreeze.
Communincate on Skype/vent to setup a kill, get priest to Power word shield you Prayer of mending and renew you when you guys begin try force a trinket onto the healer by chain CCing it when he/she trinkets.
Polymorph the DPS and tell him to tell you on skype/vent when he has full dots rolling on the healer summon water elemental pet nova deep freeze icy veins Frostbolt frostbolt icelance with your priest mindflaying the target with full dots he is garunteed to die if you pulled this off properly.
FrostMage/Destruction Warlock How to
This comp is much like FrostMage/ShadowPriest setup a kill by chain CCIng the healer and casting into DPS (Dont blow all cds).
When healer trinkets use water elemental pet nova deepfreeze icy viens frostbolt frostbolt ice lance while your destro lock is Immotalate Chaosbolt Conflagging.
FrostMage/Sub/MutilateRogue How to
This is one of the most communication involved setups for 2v2 involving resetting/chaining CC using bandages and talking in skype/vent.
Pop invisability to allow your rogue to get get a sap on the DPS click the invisability buff off when he says he has sapped the DPS open on the healer with a Glyphed 5second garrote into a Frostnova deepfreeze he can die in that or trinket into a full kidneyshot.
Yeh its preety easy but requires communication.
Resto Shaman/FrostMage
Preety faceroll comp with all the haste you have from gear.
Shaman pops heroism/bloodlust.
Sheep Healer.
Pop Icy Veins.
Spam frostbolt.
.5second frostbolts for 4.5k

6. Fire PvP Gearing & Gemming
Fire requires more resil then frost due to not having frost barrier and as much control around 350-400 is how much you should aim for.
You wanna gem till you get 80 spell penetration 5% Spell hit then stack SP and Crit.
More crit = more Hot streak procs = more lol 7k pyroblasts.

7. Fire in Arena (Comp Setups & How to play Specific Comps
Only comp that is somewhat viable is Firemage/Destro Lock played exactly how Frostmage/Destro Lock is but without deep freeze so.
Sheep healer Nuke DPS keep ccing the healer try force a trinket if it doesnt trinket the dps will die.
If healer trinkets cc DPS and kill healer with some lolburst.

4. Frost in Arena (Comp Setups & How to play Specific Comps)
Frost mages are probably one of the best "Wizards" in WoW due to them having Insane Crowd Control (Frost nova, Improved Cone of Cold, Shatter Barrier, Deepfreeze, Pet Nova and Polymorph.)
Being able to endlessly kite any melee class with frostbolt is also very nice.
A frost mage in 2v2 is great partnered with a Disc Priest, Shadow Priest, Destuction Warlock, Sub Rogue, Mutilate Rogue and Resto Shaman
How to play these comps.
FrostMage/Disc Priest How to
At level 70 this comp is EXTREMELY strong due to being able to kill anyone in a deep freeze if you are playing with a priest that plays offensively.
Using Smite, Holy Fire, Devouring Plague, Shadow word: Pain, Shadow word: Death and Shadowfiend offensively is very important in this comp.
Chaining your crowd control
You want to chain your CC's as much as possible to set-up a kill.
Polymorph --> Polymorph --> Polymorph --> Fear --> Mind Control
FrostMage/ShadowPriest How to
This comp is much like Frostmage/Disc priest but with ALOT more damage but less healing.
At 70 you should be killing everyone cept maybe a full hotted resto druid in a deepfreeze.
Communincate on Skype/vent to setup a kill, get priest to Power word shield you Prayer of mending and renew you when you guys begin try force a trinket onto the healer by chain CCing it when he/she trinkets.
Polymorph the DPS and tell him to tell you on skype/vent when he has full dots rolling on the healer summon water elemental pet nova deep freeze icy veins Frostbolt frostbolt icelance with your priest mindflaying the target with full dots he is garunteed to die if you pulled this off properly.
FrostMage/Destruction Warlock How to
This comp is much like FrostMage/ShadowPriest setup a kill by chain CCIng the healer and casting into DPS (Dont blow all cds).
When healer trinkets use water elemental pet nova deepfreeze icy viens frostbolt frostbolt ice lance while your destro lock is Immotalate Chaosbolt Conflagging.
FrostMage/Sub/MutilateRogue How to
This is one of the most communication involved setups for 2v2 involving resetting/chaining CC using bandages and talking in skype/vent.
Pop invisability to allow your rogue to get get a sap on the DPS click the invisability buff off when he says he has sapped the DPS open on the healer with a Glyphed 5second garrote into a Frostnova deepfreeze he can die in that or trinket into a full kidneyshot.
Yeh its preety easy but requires communication.
Resto Shaman/FrostMage
Preety faceroll comp with all the haste you have from gear.
Shaman pops heroism/bloodlust.
Sheep Healer.
Pop Icy Veins.
Spam frostbolt.
.5second frostbolts for 4.5k

6. Fire PvP Gearing & Gemming
Fire requires more resil then frost due to not having frost barrier and as much control around 350-400 is how much you should aim for.
You wanna gem till you get 80 spell penetration 5% Spell hit then stack SP and Crit.
More crit = more Hot streak procs = more lol 7k pyroblasts.
