K, so I've come across some numerous mage twink items, and alongside the WC staff and the RFK wand I've decided to mage a 19 mage. I have all the gear laid out, but I'm wondering what to spec. I figure i should go 5 into impact (10 percent stun is great considering it will proc about every other fight I'm in), and I'm wondering whether to have uninterruptible arcane missiles (probably not) versus improved fire blast. The improved fire blast reduces the cooldown by 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.5, for each rank, and flame throwing increases range of al my fire spells for 3 yards per rank (up to 6 yards possible, 2ranks). I think i might go for one less second of fire blast, with 6 yards from flamethrowing, and 5 in impact, consuming all of my talent points.

I wasn't thinking any into permafrost or the like, just because i dont think a longer snare time can compete with stuns. ( i have frost nova for snares) The tier 2 arcane spells are horrible (wand stuff and the like), so they're out of the question. I can't get improved cold damage at this level, so I'm pretty much decided, but I'm wondering what you people might consider. THanks for input, if any.

10-19 is FILLED with warriors..

Charge + No Blink = Dead Mage

Your best bet is going frost in hopes of slowing the chars down that are inevitably going to one shot you.

WEll, this realm that i'm playing on atm is currently 3-4 weeks old, with absolutely no twinks. Plus, nova + sheep could get me away from charge. I wont be one shotted by warrs using all greens. Also, i'm doubting permafrost would be worth it, as I have nova to snare, and can kite with minor speed.

id go for the CC all the way for somereason..
i think the perma frost is nice for slowing certain opponents in group situations (wsg 10 on 10)

5/5 perma frost
2/2 imp frsot nova
3/3 winters chill

u should be getting enough chants + decent gear to hit 800 life
also from what i know the ZG chants are becomming cheaper.. (i hope)

i dont have any experience in mages beyond basics however. if u could elaborate on your ideas more id appreciate it..

i realize u dont have access to the gear you could have.. new server..

i do know that even with twink gear a noob is still invincible if they are getting heals.. i dont know.. i like classes that can heal.

Well, the ideal fire mage had a little over 1k life, with about 1,400 mana. Hm, i just like the idea of getting a 2 second stun from 41 yards every other fight. Also, the gear isnt that hard to get, its merely stuff like buccanneers xxx of fiery wrath, with a mad cool fishing hat. I have the magefist gloves, chest is something im working on. Kellers girdle will eventually go on the AH. Eventually...

I'd delete char and go back to D2.

10 proc rate. I'll use about 5 fire spells a fight. 3 fireballs, 2 fire blasts. 50 percent?
