New multiboxer!! Need tips on mages

[forkey]

So far, I have level 29 frost mages and I'm boxing 3 of them.

It's been getting very difficult to control them so does anybody have any tips they could give?

I was thinking on going pom pyro at 70. Anybody have any macros that I could use? Any addons?

Basically anything that would help a newbie out!!



Thanks!

Fixed link from above

Also:
Useful Mage Macros

#showtooltip Pyroblast
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Arcane Power
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Pyroblast

Or if you decide to go Arcane / Frost (40/0/21 or something similar)

#showtooltip Frostbolt
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Icy Veins
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Frostbolt

"/use 13" and 14 are your trinkets, it will either use the top one, or if that is on CD it will use the bottom one. Or if they are stackable (Can't think of any off the top of my head that are) it will use both.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry for not looking at the Wiki, I'm still pretty new to this site

Also, is there any advice on frost mages? Talent builds?

Right now I am level 36 with all 3 in frost



Thanks!

**Personal preferance**

I went Main as frost, for CC, and all my alts as fire. I find that I was able to CC just fine using only 1 mage and fire spec has better DPS. That said to do this you have to be realy good at dropping "follow" at the right time to position your alts.

I ran two mages under RAF, and never needed to go anything but fire due to the massive dps output. 2 sheeps and 2 Frost Nova for control, 2 Pyroblast - Fireball - Fire Blast and things generally dropped before they could reach me. For the nasty fireproof area in Dustwallow Marsh, used Frostbolt + Arcane Missiles and again they dropped just as they reached me. I'm thinking of respeccing PoM Pyro for outlands, but not sure if I need it over the increased overall dps of fire for questing purposes (will probably want it when I am doing more PVP).

Yea I was thinking all 3 for fire would work...
until I saw some frost mage AoE grinding videos..
Thought maybe that would work well...
But so far... Havn't exactly found a spot to do that because I outlevel every spot so fast...
For fire, what exact talents should I put in? Apparently I have really stupid ones for frost...

Thanks guys!!

The problem i see with frost is trying to get blizzard to go off on 3 mages ... im new so im sure it can be done i just dont know how

[forkey]

It's very possible with Octopus using the mouse broadcasting thing.
Works well for me, I just set a macro so they all face the angle so I can do 3 blizzards, flamestrikes at the exact same spot.
It's been working really well for me with improved blizzard, permafrost and shatter.

Don't want to be picky, but that link is bad.

Ive been to three links posted from people telling the noobs to go read up that are invalid. PLease try and give some slack. After the forum consolidation alot of those helpul posts that I used to get started are no longer valid.
