Love this.! There really isn't enough content on Mages. Very well put together Video.

When I got my mage to 70, I went searching for different specs. Deep frost has been great, but needed a bit of a change. This has been perfect on how I'm going to spec and gear up now. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the content, please keep it up!

i'm completely new to WoW. I picked a mage and have got lvl 40 today (no more walking baby!) I know a lot of this doesn't apply to me, but thank you!

I keep getting the itch to come back and play wow after years of not playing and your vids always remind me that i def dont have the time or desire for that kind of farming anymore lol

btw you dont wanna keep the spellfire set until T6. Go deep fire (with spellfire) or frost until you got two pieces of T5, then switch to arcane. If you have to replace some of your crafted items, try to replace the spellfire set, since it only has arcane/fire spelldamage (for mana leeching phases when you are spamming frostbolts).

is it possible to buy the crafted gear from AH or do i need to have 350 score in crafting to put the gear on

If you get 15k mana pool or higher as arcane you can drop frost bolt from rotation in most fights and swap one talent to get improved bliz.

F's in the chat for lazy mages.

i went Firespecc in TBC with 2/3 imp. Blizz and it works fine. Frost sucks - only when i farm primal fire i miss the frost specc a lil bit. but the dmg with fire is broken

Thank you! I was on the fence about what class to roll and this pushed me away from mage :)

I think it will be surprisingly cheap to get all the crafting mats after 2 weeks. The really sweaty people obviously pay a lot but especially with boosts the amount of tailoring/alch alts is going to be insane.

gonna try and sell the fire set mats to rich people then buy or re farm it a month later when hopefully its calmed down and doesn't cost a arm and a leg

Fable sound track would probably go really well with wow. or so it seems...

Did you check what you put on there? In the video you seem to be on a WotLK private server or a server with tbc, where all magic schools have already been converted to spelldamage ... would say the guide needs a revision. Head and pants are right as far as there are no magic schools on it, but on the robe hands and belt that you make you only have the spell damage on it which was / came to wotlk or a very late tbc patch. So the Spellfire set would be for fire / arcane magicians / fire warlock / boom-kins and the Frozenshadoweave set for frost / shadow magicians / warlocks / shadow priests. @MetaGoblin

I wouldn't be that worried about getting the mats for spellfire set. Think the bigger issue will be getting the patterns for spellstrike set.

I'm still gonna do what I always do. Fire spec with blast wave, dragon's breath and improved flamestrike. Why let warlocks go wild with seed when I can go wild with flamestrike!

Hunter please

I don't even play wow and I love metagoblin's content. Wish he'd make longer youtube videos to get me through work!

fire. fire and more fire. scorch fire

As a spellstrike merchant, I agree with this.

Good advice.

I'm not sure if you're trolling at this point with ARHGRO

Can u make a tutorial from te 1:14 UI interface please, i need an interface like that one

Excellent!

Awesome

Please do one for shadow priest please!

I’m arcane with improved blizzard. It really is the best of both worlds

Nice to know I should start tailoring. Such a helpful tip for saving some money.

can someone tell me what the background music is at the beginning, where he is in Karazhan?

Go arcane for the two piece and top meters for the memes

Mage still strong for farming and making gold in BC? I'm debating whether to level my mage up to 60 then 70 when BC comes out just as an alt and money maker.

You guys clearly haven’t seen what a good Arcane PvE Mage can do, you’d be surprised 😮

thx m8

Yeah forget buying cloth CDs, I’m going into TBC with 3 Tailors.

Been playing Arcane Mage since 2005 on and off and yet, every shitty warrior tank with their anal bead dps meters addon, trying to give me shit for not having Improved Blizzard. Where the hell does it say that every mage MUST be Frost ? Especially one that couldn't care less about raiding. It's happened 3 times since e got Classic and it gets annoying, NOTHING gives a player the right to criticize how the other person is playing, we play as we like, since we all pay subscription. Oh and i LOVE using wands since i've added talent points in it. Maybe Frosties have better blizzard and Fire mages have better Flamestrike but Arcane mages have better Arcane Explosion, one AoE for every spec, i don't understand why everyone is so stuck with Frost. The game offers diversified spells and talents for variety.

werent people raiding kara in t3? are u sure it gets replaced by dungeons

why no 30/31 arcane fire mage with spellstrike gear..seems like it would absolutely melt

I'm not crafting that gear. Can't afford it. I'll settler for just heroic or raid gear.

this inflated economy is so demotivating when we will not getting fresh tbc server with no boost and transfers

I read the title, and wondered why anyone would give their dishonest advice on mages...

6:10 honestly if blizzard won't do an economy reset, the game will be shite

i am mage going into tbc classic and just i didnt bother doing wbs and consumables, i wont be bothering myself with getting spellstrike set (depends on prices), cleared whole content in classic with exception of naxx, where i stopped raiding completely

Good thing I'm going to focus on pvp in tbc, so I wont need to bother leveling tailoring as a lvl 58 boost

More alts u have in tbc easy it will be

"you are going to replace T3 with dungeon gear" WHAT

Trade cloths

he sounds wise, but he is seriously playing without keybindings???

Yeah no way in hell I'm going to pay 8 to 10k for that shit. I'll wait til the initial demand dies down

Great guide! 7 items from naxx for my mags before I hit a dry spell and quit raiding, thank god I found this video. If anything sounds like I stopped wasting my time raiding just in time. FYI my guild clears naxx 1hr 30m so this video was again right on seems straight forward what i need to do next!

lol i am 65 and have frost fire spec :D

Is Meta Goblin your real name?

Spellstrike is boe so just buy it

Lol, farming gold, for gear... As a friend of mine said; you have to have some sort diagnose to play WOW at this lvl...

i understand that you make a lot of videos, but for the background stuff u are showing, cau you please not make it 5FPS? It feels horrible watching, it feels like my pc/phone is lagging

i wanted to main mage cuz its easy buti dont want to spend my whole life farming lol

There is no way the 3 set tailoring gear will be 10k or more. N if it is, its not even worth buying. Phase 1 content is too easy to justify that much gold for a little increase over other epics

Yo

still sleeping on Elemental shaman, which will be better than mage and comparable to locks and hunters. SMH

“Going in to tbc classic with 20k gold is a good starting point” As a MT who’s popped flasks most weeks since AQ dropped, get fucked

dont show up to dungeons without blizzard slow, lol. frost really isn't neccessary if your group does dmg and the mage does high dmg, also considering fire gives plenty of slows that are effective by the time they're dead. only thing you need improved blizzard for is very large packs, which isn't what you were showing.

voice audio is always so low

Good video, but i gotta say i disagree with imp blizz. Played a mage throughout tbc in both retail and on private. Most pulls are easily done with a sheep and a proper tank. Overall mages are useless in 25m, you really want 1, max 2

But you are assuming it will jump from classic to tbc, i would imagine whole new servers

this dude don’t even have auto loot on, normy

Guess I'm playing an arms warrior until gearing a mage isnt expensive anymore

Imagine claiming it will take 2 months to craft the spell cloth needed for your set and not even considering the fact that many of us mages have 3-5 tailor alts already prepared at lv 300 skill lol. The only hard thing will be farming up all the primals as the areas will be super contested.

Reroll warlock

Inb4 blizzard caps gold you can take to tbc

waiting for dishonest advice

yeah, nah ... not playing fucking frost.... waited for Dragons breath too long to not level with it xD

Why are you showing footage of WotLK when talking about TBC?

"raiding in arcane specc". hello OOM mage 50% in to the fight with crap dps.

The age of mages is over.

sorry but i can't stand the "if you don't do it this way, you are doing it wrong" mentality of people like you!

My honest advice to mages in TBCC: roll warlock

I sincerely hope gold transfering is capped somewhere under 1k.

Why bring a mage when you can bring another lock? Orc lock ideally...

Reroll Warlock.

awe..youre annoyed when mages aren't frost? Frost is the lowest dps spec..but we should all play that so youre not annoyed lol

reroll to warlock lol

Mages are traaash in TBC no help for them.

Honest Advice to Mages -> be a BM hunter or warlock

Honest mage advice you say? here's the only advice you will ever need for tbc mages; Don't play it, warlocks are just straight up better in every way.

Gold should be RESETED!

worst mage footage ever xd

They're weak compared to the other classes later in TBC. They are good AoE farmers, but they wont be allowed in sunwell. So if you want to raid to sunwell, don't pick mage.

Reported for using private servers 🤘🤙👏🙌👐
