What Spec For 3x Boxing Mages for Leveling?

[lolmannz]

Hi guys, I recently started 3 boxing mages, using the new refer a friend bonus I'm leveling 3 times as fast

I know for soloing leveling arcane is the way to go, should I be still going arcane for all of my mages for leveling to 70?

[Trammel]

When was arcane ever the way to go for solo leveling?

[Naysayer]

All three are good.

What's your favorite color, white, red, or blue?

Well it gives you less down time due to mana efficiency, so faster overall I guess.

No it's garbage at lower levels, run the dpm and dps of arcane missles vs frost/fireball. Also it's terribly mana expensive, so if you have to cast an extra one your dpm is garbage.

Frost. Blue is pretty.

With three mages you'll only ever need two spells anyway - Ice Barrier and Arcane Explosion

You don't use arcane missles when you level as arcane...

This.

Im leveling 4 horde mages as frost... Ice Barrier up.. collect as many mobs as you can.. frost nova.. arcane explosion till they die. I tend to pull 10+ at a time no problem.

Try to get some more; I used to pull 10+ mobs before I even had ice barrier without too much problem (that was with Blizzard, though, so maybe a bit harder)



And AM is what you use to level as arcane. I did 1-70 as arcane on my current mage (still am, actually) Frostbolt, AM, Fireblast = dead, repeat until no more mobs are in the area. Maybe drink everyonce in a while or evocate.

And always AM if your clearcasting is up.

Well, I meant you shouldn't use it, not that you couldn't. I'm not going to go to your house and smash your AM key if you do. It's too inefficient and fireball and frostbolt do almost the same damage as they do whether you spec into them or not at these levels due to the fact that there's no decent spell damage gear until the 40's. Don't forget we're talking leveling. After 40 AM starts to become decent, not before it.

My main was my mage for almost 2 years and I saved a lost puppy yesterday, so I've got the street creds to back up my claim.
