Mage Discussion

Ok.

This is my build I use now. I made it for arena/pvp. Its a mostly a 3min mage build but modified for chance. With Molten armor, I think my crit is 26.9x

For normal, PvE I used deep fire. Like this:

Ive used both deep frost and deep fire, and I prefer the deep fire. IMO they are about the same mana usage, while crit more often. I have heard that a deep arcane build can result in making a framing machine. Hope this helps our current and future mages.

Got a build you like or some strategies for PvP, Arena, PvE, Raid, Dungeon? Lets see 'em!

Okies... i gotta post something.
Yeah I'm still new to the whole mage scene and I'm still learning the basics.
Tips and tricks that i use, tho they may be "wrong" (I've read in a few guides that i go about soloing in a completely wrong way)
Heres how i solo:
Combustion first and foremost, pyroblast, fireball, fireball then fire blast.
It works really well for me and my playing style, but i hear pyroblast should not be used at all unless PoM is obtained.
When in a group, i try to always target and fireball the lead tanks target, cause I'm sQuishiE! lol But i tend to stay away from pyroblast here just because of the high aggro rate.
My crit percent is only about 5.78% (something like that) and my bonus fire changes day to day but mainly stays near 121 (tend to switch belts while soloing for +stam instead of +fire)
I do have issues with my stamina but never with my mana so I do have to play a little more with my balancing act there.
I defiantly want to see more playing style, tips, tricks what have you
So more posts please???
lol

You do what I do. Pyro fireball fireball fire blast =) Works for me.

This is my build now

I think of PoM a PvP thing. Im not sure though.
