Yes, you certainly should be using Slow whenever you can. Trash, bosses, anything.

[QUOTE=ShadowFox77;17606738]Looking at the rotation that was first posted (ABx4 -> Arcane Missles w/ missle barrage) is what I would do if your mana [b]can support it[/b]. If it can't, like mine, just bump it down to ABx3, arcane missles if you proc missle barrage, if not, arcane barrage. repeat.[/QUOTE]
To be honest, if you're in a raid with replenishment and you're using Mage Armour (like you should be) then you'll have no problem with 4x AB's.

I honestly don't think you should have mana problems. My friend is JUST gearing up his mage and on boss fights he NEVER runs out of mana. He hardly even ever resorts to pots. bring pots if you're really having troubles I guess.
I always thought frost was PvE and fire PvP
whoa people are actually being civilized for once in this section
says efeX, lol.
you had to just ruin the streak didn't you?

A poor one.
no its efex so he tries his hardest at trolling
LOL or you could just go frost for everything I mean why not just duelspec to the exact same frost tree just to show you can XD

[b]There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.[/b]
Hit cap is 289 if you're Horde. Reduce that to 263 if you're Alliance and hanging with a Draenei. You can drop by 3 more percent and gear around Faerie Fire. I don't because we don't regularly have them in our tens.
The spec in this thread is completely wrong, you don't want slow in PVE. Tanks will keep a slowing effect on your target active required for Torment the Weak with their tanking rotations, so casting slow only lowers your DPS. Use my spec, I'll give you a link ([url]http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Destromath&n=Waterwings[/url]). Note that Icy Veins is one of your most useful talents, and Icy Veins + Bloodlust + Speed Potions + Arcane Power = massive damage. Some people will argue that Arcane Stability is worth 2 points over Incanter's Absorption. I disagree, but you decide for yourself. Magic Absorption is also a worthy recipient of two points, and I would sooner place talents there than in Arcane Stability.
Don't use Mage Armor, Molten is better. Grab the Glyph for it, even.
Have fun.
no actually i was serious, i've never played a mage, i never plan to, and i don't bother learning about classes that i am not playing
So... you didn't notice all those mages with the extra shield the pet and the stun while frozen in pvp?
I find that hard to believe.
I find it hard to believe that someone would spec for slow in PVE.
But hey, stupid happens.

Wow, you managed to come in here for the first time and be a bigger douche than most of the professionals in this section... congratulations!
Hey Thorny m'lad what would you say is the best spec/build for levelling? My level 64 Mage is currently using this:

You could try a Frost AoE spec. Lets you rape groups of mobs with ease.
Either that or Arcane, in my opinion.
As arcane pve, if running out of mana too soon, only do 3 blasts, less damage but conserves mana.

alright I'll spec 71 points into fire cause that's my play style and i'll totally out dps someone who specs properly and actually looks at statistic for their class.
There's a reason why almost every end game mage have very similar specs.
There is no "style". You are either doing it right or doing it wrong.

im not talking about people being retarded im talking about for example, speccing a bit further into a certain tree for survivability, shut your fucking mouth and learn to play your class, any dumbass can go on wowwiki and copy a spec, secondly read my psot properly
