Hi and welcome to my WoW leveling article about Mages and their talent Trees. If you want to find out if the Fire spec is better than Frost or the other way round, this mage leveling guide has the answer.
First of all let’s take a look at the frost build. Which are the strengths and weaknesses?
The talent spec is weak if you fight against single opponents. You will waste a lot of time if you intend to use the frost spec to kill off single targets. That’s why I urge you to use Fire instead of Frost if you plan on doing it this way.
But the talent tree is perfect if you plan to pull dozens of targets and nuke them down with insane AoE power. Frost Nova is a great way to bind targets to the ground and cast spells from afar. There are also many useful defensive abilities in the frost tree which can easily save your life.
And what about the Fire spec? You will only fight against a few or only single enemies, that’s why it requires less concentration. The DPS against single targets rocks! You can deal huge burst damage and knock your target down in a matter of seconds. The fire tree is for every who just wants to level without acting too much.
On the other hand it leaves you more vulnerable than the Frost spec. If you want to take one more than one mob you have to slow them somehow. That’s what the Fire tree is weak at. You are forced to only engage in combat against one enemy at a time.
And which spec is better for leveling? The Frost build as any serious mage leveling guide will tell you! The ability to kill off up to 10 mobs at the same time grants you much more exp that killing single mobs.
You just need a short training to be able to pull off this leveling tactic. Pull a few mobs while riding on your mount. Now Frost Nova them on one spot. Blink away and then wrack havoc on them using Blizzard and Cone of Cold. Should any mob survive cast another Frost Nova and repeat the process!
