Into the Great Unknown

I had spent ages as frost and was tired of all those pesky warlocks beating me on the charts in AV and WSG! A week ago I went 40/21 for MM/BW, slapped on my spellfire/strike, and am having a blast rocking my 100 resilience/8k health/1220 spelldamage in PVP. :D

Not really arena viable, though my 2v2 (me as this spec, although in my PVP gear this time + a frost mage) got to 1650 with a better than 80% win ratio last week. :) I died nearly every game but it's great for taking out druids... basically any healer. AP + AM when they're running out of LOS (especially if MSD procs) is win.

I found that starting out in invis allowed my teammate to start taking the brunt of the other team's focus fire, which he could withstand significantly better due to his spec. Then I could uninvis 30 yards away from him and unload on someone, who always died between shatter combos, a cc'd teammate, and ap pom pyro-fireblast-blastwave-am and imp cs if necessary

Hey man really like your vids they helped me awesome at pvp even if i dont have the gear i cant wait for i suck at pvp 2. But hey im sure your happy bout the new ice block changes and "Icy Veins". did asheni transfer over with you aswell. Is he/she going to be ret for your arenas? i run with a ret pally and its well fun we both put out instant damage like theres no tomorow. I specced slow for a raid jus to see what it was like and i couldnt stand it i really wanted to try it in duels but i was down b4 i could do anything or learn more about the spec sadly. But yea man hope to see your next vid soon =D

Oh, already respecct?
One question about this then: are there going to be any fights with that spec in your next vid? I'd like to see how it's played (I'mm full-fire minus 3 right now, 0/58/3, and has I hit lvl 70 the day before yesterday I don't want to respec right away)

Considering arena: I don't know if you did any arena being fire-specct. I tried some 2on2 yesterday, having a wl as my partner (first arena time for me). it was, let's say, a little disappointing. I was expecting to die fast as I have equip that is not even worth being mentioaned (6,2k hp with 460spelldamage and 24,xx%crit)... but not THAT fast. All I did was putting out a little damage with my instants and buy my wl-partner the time to set up his dots. After that, it was a 2on1, which of course he had trouble to deal with.

So, is this gonna improve a lot either with better equip? Or do fire-mages simply don't belong into arena?

Well, on the other hand I'm top-dd in every instance I was since lvl 45 if the others were my level, and this hasn't changed on 70 now (espeacially out-damaging an ice-mage that is better equipped than me and who kicked my ass in the duels after)

After the questions a personal opinion: Thinking about how it might be:
It seems that a frost-mage is, due to his ice-barrier mainly, fun to play in arena even with low equip, whereas as a fire-mage needs a lot of hp and resilience, as he dies to fast otherwise.

I got offtopic by now... sorry.

Hope that you don't take as long again to post something new. hrhr
