Dual boxing mages: Lvling fire or frost?

[Teracia]

title says it all starting on my third pair in 2 weeks. ( THX RAF) and im doing 2 mages. Fire or Frost for lvling? figured fire would be quick kill but also thought frost would be nice for slowing and shatter combos...they are going arcane at 70...thx for the help!

I am currently leveling 5 mages and I am specced arcane/fire (blastwave and arcane explosion 4tw), if you are interested I can link the spec tree when I get home from work

[Teracia]

well thats cool thx for going to link...thats more of an aoe build..im gonna aoe a little but does that work for everything? i dont have 5 only 2

[Quix]

Neither

ARCANE!!!!!

Seriously,,, Ever See what Arc Fire does with 4 mages?
70s melt to 60s

Nevermind, your last post clarifies 2 mages,,,, Frost IMO.

Levelling 2 mages = frost ftw.
Key talents: Ice Shards, Frostbite and Shatter.
At 43+ with my mageteam (prolly gonna do full 5) I'm looking at http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=oV0VcZVgGz0b0o for AoE, (in WotLK, blastwave gets knockback and some awesome +crittalents in fire that works with AE).

Im doing 3 mages atm been frost since the word go, less mana cost, less threat, frosite is retarded, winters chill is retarded, combined with shatter= i can kill any elite 2-3lvls above me before it gets to me. Im doing the RAF thing with 2 buddys 1 pally tank and 1 pally healer. Wisdom and salv and the mage armor that lets you regen 30% of mana regen while casting means less time drinking. Its been crazy fun. With frost your looking at almost a 70% crit chance on every mob. Fire is tempting but frost has done me so right from the start.

Not a new question (http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=12032[/url).

It's really up to you, they will all work just fine.

I did 2 frost.
Then 1 frost 1 fire.
Now I do 2 fire.
Mobs die so fast, they almost never touch me. I never need cc beyond the occasional sheep(s).
It's also pretty mana efficient, so I don't have have to sit and drink very often. Just kill a mob, run to the next one and repeat.

I like deep arc/fire because you get the most awesome burst DPS ever. POM-AP-Pyro is insane even with one mage. Also, arcane missiles will keep hitting opponents who run out of LOS as long as they were in LOS on the initial cast.

If you have 2 3-minute mages, then you technically have a 1.5 minute mage.
If you 3-box, then you have a minute mage.
4-box would be a 40 second mage.
