There are several topics on this forum that explains the usage of warcraftlogs.com: https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/4392-warcraftlogs-a-comprehensive-guide/ A FAQ for mages (I gave a link to your question): https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/5231-faq-for-mages-snapshotting-macros-all-specs/#forum-anchor-1 And also a guideline about how you should ask for help in these forums: https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/201-how-to-ask-for-help-with-your-mage/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oltier 471 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 i dont see hwy i would need logs cause i can only provide logs as arcane so but i shall try I see your point. I'm sorry I wasn't too clear as I just woke up when I replied. Generally, what I can suggest then, is just to try them out... As you can read in the FAQ, they are really performing on the same level (except fire under certain ammount of crit) and I can't and won't tell you that you HAVE TO BE Arcane/Frost/Fire.

Berlinia 168 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I am happy you linked noxxic so i can point out that.... NOXXIC IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. They had in november still under the frost mage guide the Frostbolt damage amp debuff and they recommended intellect gems. What they show for best dps is most probably somr outdated result of. Simcraft. So basically (even if simcraft os correct which it is not) Frost is better for him for a single target fight with no movement for 450 seconds. IF any should take SimC as gospell...... which you shouldnt. Fast answer to you though any spec would perform well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLTeo 29 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 ok no more arcane i do not like its play style i like fire or frost. If you can get up to 44% crit as you say, then fire might be viable, so really it's up to you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sikkz 27 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but you are asking a question that doesn't have an answer. There is no "best". I don't blame you for asking this question, though, because cookie-cutter specs/builds were the norm for so long. Those times have past, and you have to decide for yourself now. The spec that you have the most experience with is the one that will do the most DPS. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
