Mage which spec

Check your spellbook for when you unlock certain passives, as those will change your playstyle. Good luck to you. For Fire I feel like it really depends a lot on you getting Hot Streak going.

Though some of it might be attributed to me memeing with Pyromaniac which is probably the worst talent on that tier. As for Arcane I think you should still shot most mobs at this level once you have 4 Arcane Charges.

Thanks everyone I have taken everyones feedback and tried it with my Mage. I no longer struggle while attacking mobs In fact… It feels pretty awesome to feel the impact of your gameplay when in combat as a Mage. With Mage you actually gotta use skill to fight even basic mobs, and each mob feels awesome to fight if you play properly. I alternated through all of them while leveling before posting this thread , but noticed that I struggle A LOT as Fire spec. Arcane and Frost I noticed are best for leveling, which is what everyone has told me.

Frost deals slower dmg but with much more CC, and Arcane just outright kills anything before it hits me. I will probably go Arcane while leveling, and then Frost when getting more talents further down the road. As a returning player from TBC, I decided to level a new mage, rather than reuse my old character, and found myself in a similar bind.

I ended up levelling as arcane until lv 48, then switching to fire. I can corroborate fire being a poor choice at lower levels, but Fire Blast Rank 3 makes a big difference.

If you feel like giving fire a second chance during part of your levelling, I can recommend it after then. Always frost while leveling, mobs will hardly reach you if you learn how to kite and they got so many cooldowns for you to rotate that makes the fights faster.

Frost does more dmg than fire on targets, maybe 3, over cd cycles. Fire parses better because most it dmg is done in a 20sec window so any 2m30s fights or 4m30s fights it looks incredible. WTF dude, you bash me for stating that arcane does the best ST dmg and here you are saying just that. I think perhaps you and me are eating the same mushrooms. But when someone asks what is objectively the best spec currently, you cannot give frost any real thought.

Every mythic raid leader wants fire mages because they can combust on add spawns and basically remove the mechanic. Most of the best mages in the world are maining fire for these reasons and it shows on logs and rio. Below these levels the power fire mage brings is not utilized.

In a single target or 2 target raid boss frost will do more dmg than fire unless the fight is between and 3 mins long or about long.

Frost is the best option for consistant dmg. Maybe if I had a mythic font istead of a or my badge was a higher ilvl it would be closer but that just illistrates another problem Fire has, the insane gearing requirements. Pve mage spec 9. I guess the correct answer to best mage spec is boomkin, warlock, or spriest.

Fire still has mobile execute going for it. The kindling nerf just changes the whole overall flow of the spec and needs to be reverted. You can use this spec in PVP with some success however the long cooldowns make it difficult to recommend.
