A bit of 29 mage help

[Skeroh]

So I'm trying to make a 29 alliance mage. I've looked at the guide (thank's Nicke, it's helpful), but I don't know how to use chardev, so I can't make a viable gear list with that to see what my thoughts would look like statwise. I'm most likely going to spec frost, because I prefer annoying people to killing them fast. I've got a couple of questions though.



1. Would [ITEM]7728[/ITEM] be a viable option instead of [ITEM]6324[/ITEM]?



2. What weapon/weapon and offhand should I use until I get [ITEM]19573[/ITEM]?



3. Are boa's a must, and can they be transferred with a character?



4. I'm still a bit confused on the enchants, and which ones are best suited, would they mimick the 19 frost mage enchants?



And basically, any maging tips you could give would be very nice. Thank you in advance!

1. Robes of Arugal is way more better.

2. Lorekeeper's Staff sucks

3. BoA's are a must and them can be transferred with a character

OK, thank you, I'm guessing I'd need the boa shoulders and staff?

Yap and trinket is great also

What sort of mage are you going for? Straight cc, or a flag carrier? Mages were great at FCing before the leg armor change, and I havnt seen any since.

^Wowhead links arent displaying for some reason, so I tinyurl'ed it. Thats the mage I'm going to be working on on Dragonmaw. I dont think its perfect, but stacking stam is always fun

I'm going for a cc mage, since that's the type I play on my 19 and enjoy it.

Is horde a better option for a mage at this bracket? Thank you for the profiler, that helps me too.
