when i was a BG-man i was fire/arcane and i did a lot of damages in a few istants, now with frost/arcane the music is changed but it doen't seem to be bad!
Now my playing time is for istances and quests so now frost has his power; with frost a mage can kill a 60elite and a 59 elite together ( using all talents and knowing them strong) thing that a fire mage can't do(I did it and i was so proud of frost)!
This power become from:
1)ice barrier, now with 30 sec cooldown mage can do it many times and he must only escape or doing frost nova and wait the cooldown end to be immortal
2)ice block every1 know his power
3)whinter'chill, i have 5 points there and i saw that for short battle is not so important but when you had to fight for 30 sec or more this is a very strong point of mage
those are in my opinion the talents that make frost the best for istance mage.
Have you ever tryed to go to Hive'zora or regal or similar alone??? frost mage can do it alone too, the only dangerous are the sprittlefield that do nature damage, but frost mage can kill those doing ice barrier, waiting for 25 seconds and attack so when the barrier gone( about 10 sec of damages) mage can do it again and never die.:clap:
Do you feel frost power?
what do you think?

Don't forget the 'Shatter' talent - 50%+ crit if target is frozen in place.

I'm thinking about moving to frost because we are currently doing MC and soon again BWL.... But I have a problem, should I go full frost or arc/frost ?
I'm looking only for raid spec, do not need any solo talents or pvp, so share your opinions :g:

Try this one. It's a 17/0/34 build and suitable for what you are looking to do.
Frost/Arcane Build (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/mage/talents.html?2050050300020000000000000000000005350203102351301).
Low threat, lowered resist levels and decent mana regen - and all this comes with the emergency 'I got aggro'(TM) Iceblock.

That looks nice, but what about that winterchill ? why not use it ?
- (almost off to respec)
Simple, I'd not want to give up improved arcane explosion or cone of cold to get it and I'd rather have bit better mana regen through Arcane Mediation to make my mana go further if I was just starting out raiding. Also, remember that others will have it and it only stacks 5 times, so in a raid you'll get the benefit anyway if others have it but you won't have had to use points on it!
Later as your stats build and your mana pool increases then I'd be happy to swap out some other talents to put into Winterchill. It's personal choice really, I know Kreuz would have gone for the damage, I would have gone for what I posted - it's a bit more conservative, less aggro, more mana and I will last longer as I pull less aggro - hence the legendary macro employed back then by all RG1 MC rezzers:
/y Rezzing Kreuz!!

hehe :roflmao:
I will try to use that build and lets see what happens :)
Edit: Forgot the most important: Thanks!
QuoteLow threat, lowered resist levels and decent mana regen - and all this comes with the emergency 'I got aggro'(TM) Iceblock.
Get your facts right its "SHITE I PULLED A KREUZ!(TM)
TL tells the truth!
Right this moment I'm stuck putting my Frost build together for the Speed Run and I can't decide between Ice Block and Arcane Power! :sad:
Hi all :)
If i stop spending so much money in respec probably i would be rich :) The best multiple purpose configuration i found is 10/0/41 full frostbite/shatter/ice armor, for soloing, pvp survivability and also istances.

Not so special but this is imo the best way to have control of the situation; even a blue weared like me can solo any elite and sometimes even a couple. In istances the +10% crit, done stacking winter's chill, cover the missing +%damage or AP.
The config i'll use doing only istances would be 31/0/20

when i use it i feel fragile, without mass control, without any defense :)
But in a large group it's a nice way to inflict good damage.
Atm i'm using again the 1st config, easy mode on :)
