New multiboxer!! Need tips on mages

[forkey]

They're all 39 now!
One level off that sexy shield!
But, I still have a big problem.
Should I stick to frost mage? Or, should I respec to fire? Maybe 1 frost 2 fire?

Thanks.

This is what my mage uses.

/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use 13
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast [target=focustarget] Pyroblast

That setcvar stuff turns off the sound you hear when trying to activate trinkets and they are not up. So I never hear that crap when I am spamming my buttons.

I am not sure if this is against the ToS or not. I have asked a few times on the official boards but no one can tell me.

Basically you add a blank wav. It is very borderline and might get you in trouble but perhaps a few more folks asking about its will spark them to answer. This to me is similar to what fishing buddy did when it added a louder sound to the fishing bobber.

Again I do not know if this is allowable.

So you're saing I should spec to PoM pyro?
Also, is that the main macro you use for PvE?

They're all 41 now! Yay ice barrier!!!

I'm running 5 mages, and currently I'm heading for something like:

You are talking about AoEgrind as frost, and that calls for imp. blizz and Perma Frost. If you can't target all blizzards, then just screw it.
Questing gives alot better XP than grinding unless you find elites and killing is fast.
I like frost for extra survibilty, Ice Barrier ftw! Also, slow and chance of root is awesome.
With all 5 frost bite and shatter, I have a nice high chance of critting etc. and stuff should die in max 2 rounds of frostbolts = 5seconds.

My mages run with my shaman so the pom pyro goes nice with em ns cl. Blast wave is nice for those melee who want to run circles on me. I would suggest trying a few specs to see what you like. If you want to do pom pyro thats a easy macro that will cast your trinkets and nuke in 1 button.

Thanks guys for the support!
They're still level 41 and I'm still toying around with a few things.
As of now, I took out frostbite+shatter+ice shards since frostbite just kinda screws things up, blizzard doesn't crit so shatter+ice shards are uselss.
I've tried going to ulda and getting my main guy to run around collect maybe like 8 mobs max and just getting all 3 to blizzard
It hasn't been working out too badly!
In fact, I think this would be a good way to XP just keep instance grinding.

And yes, I can get all 3 blizzards off at the same time.
If you have a problem with that, I suggest downloading Octopus even if you have Keyclone.
I just disable everything on Octopus except the mouse broadcaster and use Keyclone for the rest! =)

[Griznah]

Mousebroadcast only works with seperate machines, right? I'm running 5 instances on 1 computer.

[forkey]

Nope, I'm running 3 WoW clients on my laptop and I can get all my mages to cast blizzard.

They're all 45 now
