New Builds under 1.11

[zheads]

I'm not expirienced in fire-builds, always used frost-arcane.
So, i can only suggest in some frost-oriented builds, i like frost for:
1. better crowd control - so u can handle more targets alone in same time
2. cheap in mana - no comments

And also can suggest about gear - go for +damage items always. Priority for me always (if we talk about leveling up mage ofc):
1. +damage, +crit, +hit
2. intellect
3. stamina
4. spirit

and on low levels (as 40-50) there are many items which oriented to build, for example try get at AH +frost damage items if u go to frost build, or +fire damage if u will choose fire.

P.S. Hope i've helped little and sorry for not improved english (i have to respec from russian build

Just curious. Are any of you going for Fire spec? I know at least RG1 mages should be able to, since MC isn't our "main goal" any more.

Aye, and fire mages do some pretty insane damage

IVe been 1 shotted many a time by them

"Dentist has critted you for 4.8 k pyroblast"
"Voretex has dropped the flag"

Thanks alot Zheads, your help is much appreciated
When it comes to frost vs. fire, I've been told by some that fire can be good in solo cause you can DPS down your targets very fast, but ofc there's also the benefit from frost with improved CC... maybe I just have to try around with different builds and see what fits me

Those gear priority suggestions also sounded very nice, I'll try to keep those in mind!

Sweet link, ill also look at it once i get home, and also, at some profiles of mages in rg1/2 how they went about specing up.

Hmm.. Interresting..  I might start playing on my mage again.. too bad max rested is 1½ lvl.. He has been standing in Feathemoon Stronghold for nearly 6 months now.. still lvl 42  

Just got to damn tired of playing him.. But lately I discovered the joy of playing my UD lock again (hadn't played him since Nef was lvl 43) so I might give him a try..

I've been considering it but from what I've heard Frost is actually still better for PvE damage. I guess I'll have to check a few sites and ask some people.

If I'd go Fire I would probably use this pure PvE Raiding Fire spec:

PvE Fire Build.
