Mage - AoE Grinding Locations

[TheFreak]

This could be a bit costly but you should level pretty quick.

This will give you Magic Attunement, the key factor in elemental grinding. This will also allow for some mana regeneration thanks to Magic Absorption - with 30 elementals attacking you, you are bound to resist several hits per second. For each resisted hit, you gain 5% of your mana back. Arcane Concentration was also used in order to cut down on mana loss and pervents you from going out of mana (OOM).

Grind the water elementals in Stranglethorn Vale.
They are level 37/38, and can be grinded effectively until level 45.

Grind the water elementals in Arathi Highlands.
They are level 38/39 and can be grinded effectively until level 46.

Grind the air elementals in northwestern Silithus.
They drop Essence of Air which sells for anywhere between 10-20g each. This will take you to level 60.

Respec to whatever you want.

*Remember: "of the Eagle" gear is best for this leveling strategy.

ok so i should start the Arithi/ STV guys at what lvl? and what lvl is the guy that u showed us spec of because the total points is 25 (+10) so lvl 35?

[TheFreak]

You can start at level 36 but aimed towards 37

[Alickz]

would you not get Improved blizzard so you could hit them a couple of times before they get to you?

Elementals now do physical damage also...not as effective as before 1.12

Well I Grinded the water elementals in Stranglethorn Vale at lv 39 to 40 for about 4 hours and walked out of there with 3 greens and 1 blue plus over 30 elemental waters and 200 shards they drop. And i was averaging around 15000 exp /hour. I was only killing about 3-4 at a time.

Not a bad spot to grind, thx for the heads up..

[Poopzoor]

cuz of the physical dmg use ur manashield :P

[Marlo]

never ever use manashield when AoE grinding. its the worse feeling in the world when you have all the mobs at about 12% and your completely oom.
