Mage questions

[Skimme]

I know frost and arcane is The best specs. But when should you be arcane and when frost?

My second question is what the best weapon is if you dont count heirloom staff? (i'm ally so i can't get dawnblade)

 

[chíll]

for flag carrying and group assist, go frost. in this case, [ITEM]Night watch shortsword[/ITEM] & furbolg medicine pouch is probably what you're after.

for damage and sheer -killing-things-that-touch-you-ness, go arcane, and get.. idk in fact.. i'm always prancing around with my heirloom staff myself.. twisted chanter's, i guess? =)

 

[chíll]

heheh, this is correct, however limited, since only goblins have afforementioned rocket jump :S neither darkflight, EMFH or escape artist allows for this, since all it takes is a hammer of stun, a gouge, or slow, and you'll find yourself locked in the middle of a group of enemy players.. in this situation, i find that frost works alot better, with the 2x frost novas, + a frostball with a cast time of 1.25 seconds (with the 15 second talent thingy), + 2 seconds freeze in place, with cone of cold.. =)

[item]5201[/item] or [item]twisted chanter's staff[/item]

However, neither of them can match up to be even close to a BoA staff. I assure you.



Arcane mages are on the offensive, taking out healers with CS and heavy burst on EFC.

Frost mages are defensive, with plenty of CCs, and decent damage from crit bonuses.

I get by with Emberstone staff/ No BoAs



If you're trying to figure out shaulders Feline Mantle - Item - World of Warcraft is best for both specs.

If you want max stam Double-Stitched Woolen Shoulders - Item - World of Warcraft - but not really worth it

really no reason to not have boa weap its 3.5k honor so just save up and buy it.

 

[rivalwild]

Some people have reason's for not having mains

 

[lolItsMutank]

3.5k honor is nice to have on a pvp main >__<

3.5k honor is nice to have on a pvp main >__<

this, i cant justify buying boas for twinks when i have mains to gear ;_;

 

[chíll]

or, you COULD just buy the gear with your own honor, like i did? get a lock summon, badabing badabum.

 

[rivalwild]

Can you actually do that?
