WotLK mage Aoe Grinding spec

[v1perF]

So the interesting new talent here is "World in Flames", which gives +2-6% crit chance to flamestrike, Blast Wave, Dragon Breath, Living Bomb, Arcane Explosion and Blizzard.

So my suggestion for WotLK aoe grinding would be:

Fire Talents - 8 point(s)

# Improved Fire Blast - rank 2/2
# Incineration - rank 3/3
# World in Flames - rank 3/3

Frost Talents - 63 point(s)

# Frost Warding - rank 2/2
# Ice Floes - rank 3/3
# Ice Shards - rank 5/5
# Frostbite - rank 3/3
# Elemental Precision - rank 3/3
# Permafrost - rank 3/3
# Piercing Ice - rank 3/3
# Icy Veins - rank 1/1
# Improved Blizzard - rank 3/3
# Arctic Reach - rank 2/2
# Frost Channeling - rank 3/3
# Shatter - rank 5/5
# Cold Snap - rank 1/1
# Improved Cone of Cold - rank 3/3
# Cold as Ice - rank 2/2
# Winter's Chill - rank 3/3
# Shattered Barrier - rank 2/2
# Ice Barrier - rank 1/1
# Arctic Winds - rank 5/5
# Fingers of Frost - rank 2/2
# Summon Water Elemental - rank 1/1
# Improved Water Elemental - rank 2/3
# Chilled to the Bone - rank 5/5
(Post count not high enough to post links )


With this build you have:
Chill
15% chance for Chill to freeze
+20% chill movement reduction
65% chill effect on blizzard (1.5 sec)
+3 seconds chill duration
Damage
+11% frost damage
Winters Chill (+2-6% frost damage)
Crit
+50% crit chance on frozen targets (inc. Blizzard)
Fingers of Frost (Treats next frost spell as targets are frozen)
+100% crit damage for frost spells (inc. Blizzard)
CC
Frost Nova effect when Ice Barrier fades
Other
-20% frost nova cooldown
-13% frost spell costs
-20% Ice Barrier and Ice Block cooldowns

I do not know however if spells like Fingers of Frost only apply for one tick or full channeling progress, but I would guess it's the latter.

Thoughts?

do you think they will make blizzard be able to crit for once?

"i have 5/5 in improved blizzard but this company still sucks"

[v1perF]

Read the beta fire talents: One of 'em (World in Flames) says that it increases Blizzars crit chance by 2/4/6%

Is it acctually worth going AoE if there are going to be about 3 Mobs alive ? :P
I mean, thats some kind useless in the levels 70-72/74 , thats at least what i think.
Since there is going to be a HUGE run to Northered ?!

Are you serious? Glad I didn't roll my character to be as a mage, it was between palladin and a mage, chose to be a pally... And glad I did, couse pally aoe grind still exists

[Quickfix]

why aoe grind?

[gaship]

I'll also add - frostbite is quite possibly the most annoying talent to take when aoe grinding, not having all the mobs there at once gets tiring when you run oom and 2 mobs that are frozen miles away come running at you

Duh , Enhancement is the best raiding dps at 80. Ele is nerfed to fail
