Mage HELP!? Follow

First of all, which talent spec you want depends a lot on your play-style. Skill also counts for a good bit - a skilled mage can make a bad talent spec work, but the best talent spec won't save someone who should've rolled a warrior instead.

So .. tell us what you want (beyond domination). Fire is all about damage; frost still has good damage and more survivability; arcane is weird, but later compliments both fire and frost well. Each one has upsides and downsides depending even on what kind of pve you're doing - I love frost for soloing, but with a good instance group, it feels like the extra damage from fire would help too. Later, you can do aoe farming, and frost is generally preferred to fire there (fire/arc can supposedly work too, but either way your aoe build is going to be gimped for instancing or pvp).

Basically, I'm trying to say that you should read the sticky on mage talents on top of the mage forum, play around with a different build or two to decide how you like to play, then decide. You can always change it later, or post again with a build to ask for advice.

Thanks for your posts :D

So to answer the questions. i think that for me the best build would be a frost since i would prefer to survive than to die all the time, lol. But im gonna be pvping aswell as raiding. pvping with 2 mates of mine who absolutely LOVE pvp, and me who loves both pvp and pve.

I think that a frost/arc build? or maybe pure frost?

what u guys think?
