how is 5 [s]mages[/s] fireballs a waste, when, if after the first fireball round the mob is dead? same thing happens when you do five frostbolts. you run to the next mob and bam, your mana is restored. its not like you're using one mage and mana consumption is an issue. you're using five. yes, theoretically what you're doing is overkill. but in practice, it amounts to just the same. so with that said, i'd go... frost. why? frostbolts cast faster.
