Not to long ago I got myself playing as a Frost mage in Retail, In which I really love playing and I’m kicking myself in the rear for not playing the mage class so many years ago, and I was thinking of making one in Classic along side my Warrior. But I wanted to ask a question that is kind of pestering me a bit, could one be a frost/fire mage hybrid? I’ve seen on the forums about which is better, Fire or Frost as a mage and I’ve even tried to look around Icy Veins if there was a talent tree example for it.
So I am curious if mages could be that type, having both of two worlds cause I could get myself too into Arcane due to how little abilities and how quickly one drains mana so quickly. And also, what be the pro’s and cons of being a frost/fire hybrid mage.
Its called an elemental build and it is a lot of fun. My favorite and only mage spec.
You get the best of both worlds with blast wave, ignite and iceblock / cold snap. I prefer this over dumping a ton of points into arcane just for the CS silence.
Takes a little getting used to life with no ice barrier, but with gear and a bit of stam you will still have a bunch of survivability.
