I'm just thankful Blizzard only appears to take on serious suggestions. Everyone cries about any class they can't kill even if its directly related to how you play lol. And no thats not a shot at youOriginally Posted by 'Haruko',index.php?page=Thread&postID=138507#post1 38507
My girlfriends main is a Mage, believe me, she wipes the floor against most classes, but rogues & restro druids. Even then, POM + trinket + AP + Arcane blast ~ Arcane barrage & there goes a good half of someones life. I didn't even mention fire blast lol...

Using some severely skewed logic. If mage can beat most classes and rogues and resto druids can beat mages wouldn't resto druids and rogues be needing nerfs first? :PMy girlfriends main is a Mage, believe me, she wipes the floor against most classes, but rogues & restro druids.

I see my wording got mistaken for something else. She will just have a bit harder time killing rogues & Resto druids. Both classes have actually gotten the nerf bat already hence rogues defeat by snaresUsing some severely skewed logic.

edit: Not to get to much off topic, but my point was that, Arcane mages will be getting some nerfs soon, any good mage that is arcane would know that. Then again, paladins are still ripping through people. Hell, my next team is a paladin & 4 mages on blackrock, so I'm all for arcane.

I've finally got around to sorting out my mixed team an all their macros etc. I'm really pleasantly surprised about how good the mage DPS is so far, especially given how crap her gear is. Current spec is:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0V0zZZiIccocu0f0gbsx
I whack Focus Magic on my moonkin and it's a nice boost to dps, for just 1 talent point this is such a great spell for a mage that'll always be grouped with other casters.
I can also keep my frost elemental up for about 60% of the time, so this is a great boost to DPS and mana regen. Loving it so far. Interested to see everyone else going Arcane though, might have to try to compare it.
As for macros, I messed around for ages on mine, but I've settled on this messy number:
/castrandom frostbolt, summon water elemental, icy veins, Vengeance of the Illidari, Glowing Crystal Insignia
/cast frostbolt
/cast frostbolt
/cast frostbolt
/cast frostbolt
/cast frostbolt
/cast frostbolt
Once the 1st elemental dies I tap this a couple of times (moonkin innervates themself, and priest casts Inner focus on same button):
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast cold snap
/stopcasting
/cast mana emerald
Muraman/Muramar, Murmanela, Murmlena, Murmarula, Murmarina - Silvermoon EU
Gnarlight, Gnarlon, Gnarlin, Gnarly, Gnarley - Silvermoon EU
Fileta, Celestara, Floriana, Paleforth, Kyudo - Kilrogg EU
Just put this in any macro you want to use trinkets with. It will use it whenever its up. No need to type out each name.
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use 13
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
The Sound turns off the warning sound so you never hear it when the trinket is on cooldown.

So uh why were you suggesting Ice Lance in your rotation? Its only good for frozen targets, otherwise the 300-400 damage(noncrit) makes me laugh. That tickles!
400 x 4 non crits = 1600 non crits. Keep laughing while we Ice Lance spam you to death :P or you could just rotate frost nova in with some 4k damage worth of ice lances
Fireblast is 6 sec cooldown, Arcane Barrage is 3 second. Add in the globals and ice lance is filler. And like the guy below me said.. Ice lance x3 x4 or x5 hurts.
