Mage Talents Build

I've been spending more than 1,000 gold respecting talents on my Mage character. I have tried a lot of new talent builds and got disappointed. Finally, I got exactly what I'm looking for, the two talent builds: Frost Arcane, and Arcane Fire. I'm now really satisfied with these 2 builds. Thanks to the Dual Spec Ability, now I can switch between one and the other easily when I got bored. So here is how I build my Mage talents:
1) Arcane Fire: the first picture below
-This spec is just perfect. Good for anything: PvP, Farming, Leveling or Raiding.
-How to PvP with this spec? This spec helps your mage become more active in a battle. You don't have to stay at one place casting spell like frost mages do. You can run around while casting instant spells which also do tons of damage like: Arcane Barrage and Fire Blast... But that's not all you do. A combination of Presence of Mind and Pyroblast is a killing shot to bring down any player instantly. It does about 5k6 damage crit or more with a normal gear and 55% crit chance. (Arcane Potency 30% crit +6% crit from World in Flame, plus your base crit about 20%). Arcane Barrage greatly helps your mage become active in any battle. Its cooldown is only 3s. You can run around casting this plus fire blast ultil your opponent runs out of hp.
So this is how I solo in a battleground: slow, instant pyroblast, arcane power (if necessary, 20% spell damage increase) arcane barrage, fire blast, arcane barrage, arcane barrage, fire blast... hardly anything could stand after these bursting good damage. Don't forget to turn on your mana shield to increase your spell damage and always use your slow, it's extremely useful against all class.
Why this spec also good for farming and raiding? Thanks to Arcane Flows, you can use Evocation more often, every 2 minutes, instead of 4. Combine this skill and the mana gems, you rarely have to worry about the mana pool. You can also use Focus Magic to buff your raid member and got 3% crit when they do crit.
Why not Arcane Medication? Mage attributes should only be stressed on stamina and intellect. That's why we do not have a lot of spirit. For this reason, Arcane Medication could not maximize its potential.
2)Frost Arcane: the second picture below
This is also another interesting way of talent build. A lot of people build their mage like this. This build helps Mage become more endurable during battle thanks to Ice Barrier, Ice Block and Cold Snap. This build also does tons of damage, but limited and conditional.
I only switch to this build when I got tired with the other build.

Battleground Warsong Gulch Good Strategy

To those who have no clue what a Battleground: Warsong Gulch means, I'll explain it real quick. This is a creation of Blizzard for the game World of Warcraft. A maximum of 20 players, 10 vs 10, can join this battleground. There are 2 bases opposite each other where there is a flag in each base. The players need to go into the enemies' base, grab the flag and run home. Any side who successfully captures the flag 3 times wins. In order to successfully capture the flag, one side needs to make sure that their flag is home safe. For more information about the game, you can go to here and check it out.

I've been playing Wow for about 3 years and a half. My favorite in-game activity is playing battleground like: Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, Alterac Valley and etc... Among these, WSG is the most popular. In this post, I'm going to share some of the good strategies to win a WSG battleground.

Today, I just played a classic WSG battleground when the enemy players decide to stay on full defend. There are no way for us to break in and grab the flag. I wish I could be invisible and go into the flag room without being detected. My character is a Mage level 78, I actually have Invisibility skill but I have to be quick though. So I come up with an idea. I would wait for a speed bonus inside the tunnel, take it, use Invisibility skill and rush into the flag room. Grab the flag and get out of the room by the other door. I got exactly 8s before the speed bonus fades out. Even though the room is full of the enemy players, it would take them at least 2s to realize that the flag has been taken. By the time my speed bonus fades out, I barely got out of the room and reach the staircase. Now all I need to do is turn on Mana Shield, and keep blinking until I got to the home base safely. This works perfectly well if I have my teammates distract them while I grab the flag.

However, this will not work when the enemy players are going in big groups and control the middle field. I will have no chance to get by them and return the flag safely. The most important thing in WSG battleground is you need to know the playing style of the other team. Are they going in big group, small group, or solo? Do they tend to stay defend more or go offend more? And where are they on the map? If you pay enough attention and observe the movement of the enemy players, you will have a good guess where most of them are on the map and what they are doing. This helps you decide when is a good chance for you to grab the flag and how to do it.
