Hello i just wanted to try out AOE grinding and see how it works, atm i am lvl 26 with COC. I have many problems with AOE grinding in Hillsbrad, these are the steps in what i do:
1: Mana shield and gather all mobs i can
2: Bring out of fence and frost nova
3: Get range Blizzard once, when close blizzard again
4: COC then Frost nova
5: Strafe a bit Blizzard again (if i am not OOM which i ususally am) and then wand the rest.
I dont know what the problem is i think mana shield takes out all my mana, but if i dont use it i basically die when gathering the mobs. My gear is mostly out of SFK for the +int bounuses, i have the belt and robes of arugal and the feline mantle. And my staff is the cresent staff u get from WC quest(Cresent Staff)
maybe my gear might be a problem also.
Thanks for your help

Problem with AOE grinding?Should you use mana shield?Follow
i didnt bother with AOE grinding till like lvl 30, thats when it became alot easier, and i wouldnt die if i took the damage, shouldnt be much anyway. IF you can finish the mobs then why does it matter that you go OOM? if you were going OOM and not finishing them off with w/e, then that would be a problem.
I don't think I have ever used manashield.
Here's what I think:
(1) You don't have all the core talents required for smooth AoE grinding. I suggest trying again after you hit level 30+
(2) AoE grinding is mana intensive. If you must use Mana Shield, you need to stack up your Intellect gear. Spell crit, and Spell damage have very little benefit in Frost AoE grinding. Stack Intellect and Stamina.
Personally, I recommend not going the AoE route until at least level 33 because this is the point at which I feel you'll have all the necessary tools for Frost AoE grinding.
If interested, you can read more about my suggestions in the Frost AoE section of my Talent Progression Guide. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend reading Leatherpatches' guide.

possible as soon as you get 3/3 blizzard (level 22), AoEing at lower levels is just harder and not for anyone who's not very comfortable with the technique.
mana shield is unecessary and, if you go oom because it, will ruin your pull. its only real use is to prevent you from losing channel time on blizzard because of hits. NOT from the amount of health it provides you. if it's purely a question of efficiency, it's far more efficient to just frost nova and gain distance before beginning a new blizzard -- rather than hold your ground to continue a blizzard in melee range...
for this reason, ice barrier is usually the multiplier for number of mobs per pull. you can wait until you get that talent, or you can just sacrifice a little and get more stamina for now. either way, mana shield is absolutely not worth the cost and has earned it a spot in my book and not my bar. right alongside frost ward...
