“I've been doing some research and theory crafting but everything seems so unclear. At what point should I start stacking Haste over intellect? Or is that just bad information overall? Please take a look at my gear and tell me if I'm doing s…”

“Honestly, I'm just getting tired of playing frost. its becoming monotonous performing the same shatter set-up over and over....and personally i think fire is too reliant on frostjaw (although dragonsbreath is strait boss)... if arcane could…”

“I've been trying to kill this boss for hours, spamming scorch to get a proc simply isn't working, and the only reason I'm dying is because his melee hits like a truck, like really, 40k a hit? You can't kite him or else you are screwed becau…”

“I've heard I should go either Enchanting/Tailoring or BS/Engineering. Which has the most pay off in the end and will not be too difficult to level”

“Seriously, why did Blizzard have to make Glyph of Crittermorph? I lose twenty minutes a day turning critters into turtles. Can we just make it last a year? Then it'll only reset on server restarts. We can even have a server-wide achievement…”

“Trying to track when it comes off cd but the spell id I thought it was (12472) doesn't work. I should have it all set right as I have it set the same way for combustion (other than spell id lol) and it works. Just wondering if since I use t…”

“i tip my mug to you all”

“I want a strong pvper... DK or mage?”

“Mage used to be my 2nd favorite class in the game, being the MOST reactive and the most skill oriented imo. But lately I've been leveling my 3rd mage @75 and its horrible... What the hell happend to this class? Litterally can not kill anyth…”

“I am fire atm with 32% crit Idk is that enuff I am only pulling about 100k-120k on fights now that my guild is starting heroic TOT we need all the dps we can so should I be fire untill I get about 40% crit self buffed or what should I be to…”

“I'll start with how I love my name.... You know, I wumbo, you wumbo. He, she, me wumbo. I'm not a fire spec mage. I'm Wumbo Spec”

“I noticed that some of the random illusions you can get are really awesome looking with full sets of armor... are these something that can be obtained for transmog or are they completely random?”

“Hey guys, So, Fire mage. I love it. I rolled mage back in Wrath and instantly went to fire. Frost is not my style and I find it insanely boring for pvp. Arcane? Lets not even go there. Anyways, I seem to do really good in pvp, burst is craz…”

“Now that I've got my 4T15 I wonder if it is worth giving arcane spec another look. However, before I do so, I'd like to get some other opinions. I've been purposely avoiding mastery gear and have very little of it. I can regem and reforge, …”

“Ask mr robot is telling me to use a gem with expertise on it.Is that right, I thought Expertise was a melee stat?”

“For those mages that have beaten Battletron in the brawlers guild. Got any tips? Spec, talents? I have tried everything I can think of. All three specs, switched through talents like crazy. Now after spending close to 200 gold in repairs to…”

“I just watched an instructional video where a top mage would frost nova/pet freeze a target, then immediately RoF the target stuck in the nova, then frostbomb/shatter combo. Why RoF right after nova, before burst? They both freeze the targe…”

“So I am fully aware of the heaping pile of Internetz that I have just invited upon myself. So Good Frost mage may be an overstatement. But I want to do better for myself and for my guild. I have logged out in my DPS gear. I think that I am …”

“So i know that a tonne of mages are stuck on the boss Ixx, just wondering how you guys actually defeated this guy, cause i can dodge his main ability just fine, but his auto attacks just destroy me. Any tips with talents and glyph choices o…”

“What dungeons/raids can a 90 mage solo (curious)?”

“Average run of the mill fire mage here. While I thought I was doing a good job of maintaining my IE, it turns out that on most fights I seem to be in the 70-80% range of uptime. Lately I feel like I'm underperforming/underplaying my class t…”

“I am thinking a kind of Ice Cream or maybe Pie.”

“I've tried several times to RoF someone in an arena (hardcasts so no arm time) and they player doesn't even get frozen or anything, just completely ignores it. Why...”

“I've been reading a lot about the debate between frost bomb and nether tempest, with respect to end game raiding. I wanted to try to clarify some discrepancies (in my opinion) that I keep seeing, as well as suggest something that should res…”

“I've begun playing without the water elemental glyph to make room for cone of cold. It works all right for the most part, and I even have a targeting macro. However, I am seriously very annoyed that my pet has suddenly become so STUPID. Wit…”

“I ran Arcane for fun tonight but when we got onto Primordius I had a lot of problems with ROP not working on the center circle. Has anyone else experienced this? I basically went to almost zero mana when I realized and had a very hard time …”

“Evocation is far too weak, I'm finding myself casting it about 6-7 times from 20-30% health just to get back at full, it needs a buff.. BADLY. I'm not saying Evocation should heal you back to full in one shot like it did pre-5.2, but it sho…”

“So this talent doesn't really see too much love, but could be something amazing. Here's my suggestion (which may have been mentioned before): Make ice floes a buff that auto stacks up to 2, with a new stack being gained every 20-30 seconds …”

“Yesterday I was clearing LFR and I noticed that there was a fire mage in the raid in just about full 522 gear head to toe (even 1 heroic piece), except he was still using the same weapon as me, the Sha touched staff. I'd say that he might b…”

“The recent patch broke the previous fix as it removed the ability to use custom wav files AND it will default back to the MPQ if it cannot play the file. The fix has been updated as layed out below: If you are like me then you are being dri…”

“So reading through forums lately I noticed that a lot of people are complaining about survivability. Most, however are actually OK with our damage output. I agree completely. (TL;DR change lvl 30 talents to affect armor spells instead of cu…”

“Ok so I haven't gotten any of the t15 stuff yet in any difficulty, I was wondering if it would be worth it to scrap all the 522's pieces i have and use all 502 tier pieces. Askmrrobot and simcraft both put it as a slight increase in dps, li…”

“His name is Reth. He plays Arcane. Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/wyrmrest-accord/Reth%C3%A9lle/simple Here is a log from him: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/nz56sv7otg82znys/sum/damageDone/ As you can see, his damage is …”

“I really do. Even with the glyph that lets him cast on the move, he still moves like a slug. If I want to mount real quick after combat he decides he would rather vanish and have to be resummoned every time. And if for some chance he actual…”

“Hello all, I have 3 level 85's.. A mage, a Druid, and a Paladin. I am currently leveling a monk. I loved my mage in Cataclysm. They were so much fun in pvp. Are they still as good? When it comes to Druid, Paladin, and Monk. Which is the mos…”

“I'm not too experienced using anything of the sort. Am I gemmed, reforged, and enchanted correctly? It only has me at 99% optimized and it's hard for me to tell where I could improve. Any help deciphering this tool would be much appreciated…”

“Sorry if this has been posted before I honestly thought of this while I was boxing the other day and it came to me as I got punched in the head. Sometimes good ideas come to us in weird situations eh? Hello Mage Forum. I notice a lot of tim…”

“I would like to begin by saying that recently I decided to level a warlock. One thing I noticed is that all specs have interesting secondary resources. Another thing I noticed is that as a mage i feel slightly weaker than i used too (i play…”

“Where is my 1.5 sec cast first frostbolt? Where is my Ice barrier freeze? Where is my CoC freeze? Where is my CoC that actually deals damage? Where is my instant summon WE which doesn't die in a single fight from aoe damage? Where is my bas…”

“This question is posed in the context of raiding only: I've always defaulted to glyphing for Water Elemental for 2 reasons; first, other than Ice Lance and IV glyphs, I didn't really covet the other Major glyphs as beneficial and secondly, …”

“So I just got the Wand off of Horridon (LFR) and I have absolutely no idea what a good wand to transmute to would be. Any suggestions? I like simple yet elegant styles. And as you can see I am, mostly, transmogged into T5 right now so somet…”

“This seriously is. Challenge me if you dare!”

“hit so freakin hard. I couldn't even run away fast enough.”

“Guild downed Durumu last night and I was not happy with the way I performed and looking for some info and what I did wrong. Was another Frost mage in group and we both are close to same Item lvl other than I have a few more 522's to get my …”

“Can't seem to figure out which is better. Could someone please explain. Right now I'm going with a mastery build (copying Venruki).”

“I'm looking for the pros and cons of playing fire in pvp at the current state of wow. Debating on playing a fire mage or destro lock. I'm mainly just looking for which one is more fun to play. I do realize I'm specced wrong for arena and I'…”

“Just finished a BG. There was a mage (Cinis) who hit me with a frost bomb for 240k and 100k ice lances to finish me off. I have a mage with my Tyrancial wep and a few other Tyr pieces (though I mostly play fire...). I popped into my Frost s…”

“I'm trying to get stopcasting macros to work for Ice Lance and FFB, but when I use it, for example while casting a frostbolt, the frostbolt cast is indeed interrupted, but the Ice Lance doesn't go off. It says "that spell isn't ready yet". …”

“I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. Im getting pretty nice burst numbers (70k+) but I feel that with my 490 ilvl, I could be doing much more burst. My opener is as follows, currently: Apply Nether Tempest, cast Frozen Orb, cast frostbolt …”

“http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...erlloyd/simple Fully min/maxed and I have 1.76% too much hit. I don't have enough haste to do efficient frost dps, enough crit to do fire dps or enough mastery to do arcane dps...I am trying to get a r…”
