Wow...I wish I could play like this. I am the biggest WoW failure on the face of the earth. I've tried all the classes and I just can't get it. Idk why, but it's just difficult for me. GJ on this whatever it is.
@ToMbR3aP3rUnLeAsHeD I think we all are failures when we first start. I know I was, then I came back and had a great time and having a little understanding from before is what pushed me through it. It's great! I know you can do it.
FFB is nice but a fireball based spec with torment the weak talent from arc puts out more dps raidwise+ you'll see the same (and higher) crits.. FFB is nice to start with if you have crappy gear
Frostfire is nice with crappy gear? I found that it ran off and left fireball as the gear improved. Been about 3 or 4 months since I played, but unless they did something drastic to make players wanna use fireballs instead of frostfire, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I have been playing mage for two years now and rly mate when i was green-blue geared FFb gave me more dps then fireball specc :) i checked forums saw vids and took advice from other players and i am pretty oke at playing mage :).
I have a 40 mage alt and I can't stop watching videos of 80 mage pve/pvp, so much more entertaining to watch and hopefully play when i level than my feral kitty =]
If your gear sucks and you pug naxx arcane would probably top totw/Fb, but totw/Fb scales way better with sp and is more mana conserving for longer fights. So when you get decent gear and start on the longer ulduar fights you'll find out that the totw/Fb speced mages with the same gear outdps you with ~750 - 1k+ on most fights.
little child ^^... my opinion is that everyone should play the skill he likes the most, and you can do much damage with every mage skilltree, im sure.
sorry for my bad english, im from austria, greetings @ all ;D
Obviously I'm not a newbie since I know the class, and that doesn't make me a retard either 'cause my brain is fully effective, and yes arcane does more DPS than damage done, but I think fireball is a nice balance between both.
Xtraxzania, youre not gonna be caring about your spellpower, youre gonna care about your dps on solo dummies. If you throw around 2-3k atleast, you'll be just fine.
Julies - Human mage from Darksorrow EU, 7/14 Ulduar 25
yeah ffb can do some wacky dmg, but for dps you should pick arcane, simply is better dps wise.. but not as beneficial for the rest of the raid, so if ya the only mage in the guild/raid FFb is the way to go =)
what is the specc for arcane dps pve .... i think it is a loss of mana! plz link that build from wowhead............ and how to use spells............thank you!
Go to WoWwiki and search mage builds, it should show with other spec, atm im doing the Fire Pov spec, doing around 5k on various bosses, ofc this depends on raid setup.
Thanks. Sometimes you'll see me not use hotstreak right away, thats simply because when he knocks us all up in the air, its nice having an insta pyro available to keep up the dps. I will admit theres probably at least one time I missed hotstreak, lmao.
In my opinion you should always use your hotstreak pyro as soon as you can, simply because in a 25-man you are so buffed that it can many times proc more often than once in an 8 second period (admittedly sometimes less.....ah, the unpredictableness of crit). If you wait, you will lose that second one since you still have the first one in waiting.
i don't know why people are so caught up on clickers, it's actually more of a technique to be a clicker, you have to plan ahead which means you have to think multiple steps ahead of time, like a chess player does, some people have quick fingers, others have smart ones :)
@rspikowski personally im a clicker... and i think im prety good at it, i could use some practice but i agree at what your saying sooo much haha, though idk what kind of fingers i have haha :P
all main moves are keybound. shift+1, shift+2, shift+3, shift+4, shift+5, shift+q, shift+e, shift+r, shift+f, and mouse button 3 are what I use. the only time anyone should click is for a pot or something of that sort. I click for moves off of my mainbar that I don't use all the time.
Yea keybindings make the player, you know its not the skill or gear he has its all about how he presses buttons on his computer.....Ive seen alot of great clicking players who are labeled noobs because they click which is pathetic.....why should u even care how someone else plays the game if it dosnt effect you in the least
so its true, every shaman does have a macro for trinket/elemental mastery/bloodlust/yell something badass. i know im not alone (i yell: KAIO-KEN TIMES TWENTY!!)
by the time you hit fireblast and the global cooldown is up, thats just about 2 seconds total. With that 2 seconds you might get maybe a 5k fireblast crit (if it crits) whereas if you wait 1 more measly second you might get a nice 10k+ frostfire bolt crit (even if it doesnt crit, non crits are pretty high). Its just better to skip the fire blast.
yeah but the reason they "need a life" as you put it. is because their numbers are correct and know what they're talking about.
also. a fireblast crit after a FFB crit would cancel out the "ignite" of the FFB and lower your dps considerably because of the ignite munching bug that's been in the game forever.
i have the same spec. when i raid i have around 30% to crit with fire, and around 1650 spell dmg. i use FFB glyph, Molten armor glyph, and imp scorch glyph. i get around 11000 crits with FFB and 13000 when the mob is under 35%. i love this spec. it allows me to keep up with and do better on the dps and dmg output meter than the other mages who have way better gear than me. the other night in naxx, i was doing 3k dps on boss fights. love this spec, nice vid. Milinthrak-Perenolde-Alliance
Whats your Spell Rotation? I just speced into what you have and I love it, just the problem being is I only crit maybe 7.9k? I would appreciate it if ya tell me! Thanks mate!
I start with living bomb and then stack scorchs (the scorch glyph helps a ton) which usually only takes 1 scorch since there are other mages doing it, then you literally just spam Frostfire bolt. Whenever you get hot streak send off an insta pyro, repeat and keep livingbomb/scorchs up. You don't have to be too strict with living bomb, but scorchs are a must.
