Hi, I'll get to the point. I have a mage, Draenei LvL 27 spec'd frost. I'm wanting to lvl her really because the spell casting thing is fun for me from time to time. But I have run into a few problems.
1.) Major
Mana Dump. I've played a Shaman before and even went elemental in early lvls using nothing but spells. I still had plenty of mana to spare, but this mage just looses it all within like one fight. 1 on 1.
2.) Spell Rotation. Not
sure what to use for the spell rotations.
3.) Spec. I don't know if I've done her spec right so if you can take a look, I'll provide a link
4.) Gear. There has got to be something I can do about gear. She is
a Tailor so any suggestions.
Caliin1.) Major Mana Dump.
At lower levels until around level 30 ish, a wand will probably do as much consistent damage as your spells. Don't underestimate the use of a wand, especially as they're usually fast and use no mana. If you're still worried about mana, wait until you get a few more talent points, and get the arcane talent which allows 30%% of mana regeneration to continue while casting, then stack some spirit.
Blizzard are giving mages a 2 minute cooldown
on evocation in the next big patch so this will help a mage's mana efficiency a lot.
2.) Spell Rotation.
Unless you're into AoE grinding it's usually just spamming 1 spell at a lower level. You're frost, so typically you'll use frostbolt. Throw in a frost nova and a sheep now and again and you're set.
3.) Spec.
I see no link.
4.) Gear.
Make some gear using tailoring? Seems easy enough.
while levelling you'll always get the best available gear from instances. If you're still 27, go to places like Gnomeregan, Blackfathom Deeps (or depths, can't remember), and when you can Scarlet Monastary.Thanks for the advice. The link is the Caliin at the bottom there. But I had some advice from my guildies a bit ago and a friend of mine. Fixed my issue.
Pretty much said all the same stuff as you.
Also I noticed they dropped Evocation to a 5 min cool down. I do believe it was a 10min CDI just want to ask one question. When your below lvl 15, where r
some good places to train or do quests?
for alliance if your below 15 but over 10 then westfall or bloodmyst isle. for horde if your below 15 but over 10 then the barrens or the ghostlands.Mulgore or Durotar at 10-15, not Barrens =P
