Razgor, the same to you m8.
It has been loads of fun in this guild.
I still am sad that we folded.

But hey, Hubbis keeps his vent online.
Me, hubbis, isak, poltergeist, dirtch, zyroxe, lokï, hailine and others
Still are on that ventrilo.

If you guys look fun just come and check the ventrilo some day.

Guys, have Good Luck and loads of fun in World of Warcraft.
/w me whenever you need me .

we still decline you because we don't want to gear someone up witch might change to pvp.

this was a misunderstanding.
you won't be accepted.

/w me for futher information

zyroxe 4 classofficer.

the most important thing for me is the raid interface wich i don't see on this screenshot.
Plus i think i have way to less buttons on your UI .

i like your start with only 3 points in arcane focus. i changed it in the frost build as well now.
but you need to keep the rest like i did.
because you use 3 points to mutch in magic absorbsion wich you can better use in arcane meditation
plus on the frost side you chose arctic reach above iceblock??? wierd. put the point in iceblock plz.

Yes you can make builds for bosses.
I'm allways with a pvp spec but if we go gruul's lair i allways respec and respec back .

Counterspell you need it to go to the next talent tree. as well as arcane forus.
you don't use them @ a bossfight. and yes if you use it, it will be mana waisted.
Pyroblast ofcourse you use it in PVE. you have POM. every 2 or 3 (don't know cd by head) you have a
instant pyroblast. And pyromages easely survive at gruuls. They just need to make sure like everyone else has to
that they are 15yards away from everyone els. I wasn't full frost when i was @ gruul. i had the frost spec
i used in this orriginal post. My dps still sucked because i wasn't used to play NON pvp frost anymore .
And geared or not, i want people to use these 2 specs and we will see that the mages will have better dps
then they had last gruul run.

And please come on ventrilo if you want to keep discussing this. because you keep spamming NON-true taught comments.
Please first LOOK at the builds. start the talentbuilder and try to make this build as well. if you think you can improve it
tell me.

And please just try these builds!!!
You will notice (like papalaz allready did: "Pyro, how do you manage you threat? I keep critting like hell." that was his comment) at bosses
that you will have enormous ammount of crits (huge crits for fire from 5 to 8k pyroblasts) and you dps will go up.
For frost they will crit even more then they are used to plus the crit damage will be about 35% higher then they had before.


My specs are PURE raid builds. Etemmu's build is raid/heroics build.

onces again elektra, my builds are RAID-bosses only build.

next time i'll add a diferent version for you online .

Sorry onbeatable,
But we have to decline this application.
There were severall reasons why we choose not to accept you.
If you want more explanation you can allways /w me ingame.

Elektra,

Well were do i start ?
So mutch to say. well first off i don't give a fuck about warlocks.
I'm mage and officer of that so thats my focus, so stop the crap about the warlocks.
I don't know what your talking about dragonbreath but how are you goint to use that in a RAID.
so not trashmobs nor heroics. Like you are standing in front of gruul and use dreagonbreath :S.
yeah right so don't waist your points on that one.

About the mana efficiency mages have the easiest class to keep that in track.
Frost have loads of mana because of arcane interlect and fire have to slow there dps because of threat.
Mages also have evocation and mana embrals witch you have to use correctly. (use low rank mana embral when your 1.5k down your mana)
then use the one witch is needed when cd is off. then you allso can use pots so that shouldn't be a problem.

so now lets talk about your builds you linked.
First frost build: Magnetic nail

Frostbite?? 3 waisted points. why would you want to slow gruul down :S...
improved frost nova?? 2 waisted points. you can't frost gruul (nor other bosses)
Shatter?? 5 waisted points. first of all you can't freez a boss so the shatter bonus won't proc anyway.
improved cone of cold?? 3 waisted points. you ain't standing infront of gruul (nor other bosses)
                                 and cone of cold. first of all you'll probably die doing it. 2nd of all cone of cold ain't mana efficient @ all.
ice floes?? 2 waisted points. you won't use coldsnap nor the other spells twice anyway in the near futher.

Because of all there points witch are a waist for PvE RAIDING it isn't worth trying to go for the water elemental.
So i think i made my point clear that the build you linked is crap. At least for raiding it is.

Second the fire build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=kf0EZtgG0fcc0eRt.It
impact?? 1 waisted point. you can't stun a boss.
flame trowing  discusable i don't think you need the extra 6 yards sinds other classes don't either. again 2 points.
Improved fire blast?? 3 points waisted. you don't wanna use fire blast because it's not mana efficient so you don't
                             want to use it nor boost it.
molten fury?? 2 waisted points. they only are active when a boss is low hp. so 80% of the fight your a lvl 68
                   because you don't use the 2 points.

Dragon breath?? well i allready explained.

Again i think i have proven my point about your build.
Plz try to think of the builds like i just explained here above.
Going far in the fire tree is worth a try. i used it but it appears that 33/28 does allot more damage
because of the bigger crits more crits and more mana efficiency int he build.

O, Elektra don't take this all personal.
I'm talking global. i wasn't satisfied about all mages including myself.
We need to use one of these 2 builds to do damage.
About the gear. spellcloth you should ask for cooldowns.
Ettemu polter albaya all are spellcloth tailors. ask them for there cooldowns as well. (2 for 1 time mats)
Then if you want also the normal once, well ask the warlock's priests etc for there spellcloth cd as well.

have to eat . hf replyng this post.

Thnx ALLOT.

papalaz about the build.

manashield and counterspell are free to choose thats all up to you what you prefere the most.
but you need the 2 points in AP. so lose 1 points in arcane mind an put one back in AP.

for the rest i'm ok with it.

Ok kasuki,

Winter chill is good but your improvement is only 15% damage. (after 5 succesfull aplies on it)
If you want to get winter chill you will lose Mind mastery, spell power, arcane power.
Witch will do in total more damage then winter chill will do.
This build is like the fire one about mana management and doing as mutch damage on
a mana efficient way.

This build might be without the winterchill but it will do more crits, allot higher crits than winterchill crit also.
winterchill build you will get 4k crits.(800-1000 dmg+ gear)
this build you'll get 4.8k crits. (800-1000 dmg+ gear)

Like is said i didn't test the frost as mutch as i did on fire. but with the experience of the fire build.
i'm about 99% sure this build is better then a build with winterchill.
To make things sure i'll investigate on some topguild's frost mages and see what they've got.

Thnx for the suggestions/questions.

Hello mages,

After we raided yesterday 02-07 on gruul the dragonkiller, i was verry disappointed in myself but defenetly by my class damage.
I saw all mages failing at there dps. For myself i knew what was wrong. I was frost.
And since that was my first 40/0/21 build raid my dps was still quite low. ( had to adjust myself to it again)
I usually am fire because fire is just the best dps for raiding.

But i also saw the other mages failing at doing damage as they normally should be doing.
I looked at there spec and then i knew where the problem was.
The specs you guys are using ain't the most powerfull onces for PvE raidings.

So know i'm going to post 2 builds witch i actually suspect you guys to use it.
As i said before i prefere you guys to be fire because it's simply the best DPS in raids.
BUT you have to focus more on your mana management.

Ok here are the builds I think are the best to raid with. (fire defenetly, tested it allot myself.)

Fire:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ki0Vc0fzLGzbZxxMzfMf0h

Frost:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0ic0fzxIziZZVA0coc0o

Get your tailoring @ 375 and get yourself the following sets:

Wrath of Spellfire set:
http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=552

both:

Allso do heroics to get the following items:
Badge items:

Flametongue Seal (25 Badges of Justice)
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29270

Also Don't forget to Enchant your items you have.
It will give you allot of bonuses.
All these items you can do on your own order.

You can ALLWAYS ask me for suggestions.
Like i allways say: "There are not stupid questions, Whiping is stupid."

Well i hope you guys take this as a positief puls for you and our guild.
If you play with these builds you will see that your DPS will gain allot.
And if your not sure how to play one of these builds you can allways ask me.
You can allso discuse these builds with me offcourse i'm open to it.

After this all guys, i hope we can be proud at our class on a shiny good looking dps meter with all mages with good dps.

ps. You don't have to replace items if you have better ofcourse. but what i have posted are the basic (easy to get) items.
Don't think karazhan will gear you up ( that won't happen since there are only a few drops in kara for mages and are
verry wanted by ALL DPS CASTING classes). So it's hard to get.
So please gear yourself up (with help of the guild ofcourse) so the guild can go on with progressing.
And if we all do the good things we'll be in SSC before we know it.

GL with grinding and doing Heroics,

Klaas "Pyrosmancer" Vissering
Class officer of the mages.
