Which spec?

Been away for awhile and decided to come back onto my mage… I mainly m+. Which spec should I play?

I think it’s fire that performs better in mythic

All 3 perform really well and Fire has the reputation of being the best due to its usage in high keys. But that mainly comes from their cheat death (cauterize) that the other specs don’t have. And that’s a super valuable tool to have.

But if you’re not in high-end keys then they’re all equal. Even then, performance wise they’re similar. Unless you like having the cheat death (who doesn’t).

So I’d pick the one that’s the most fun to you/you understand the best. A great spec played poorly = bad dps.

Frost is probably the easiest.

Frost and arcane are going to be the better specs for pugging since fire really only shines in a perfect group combo and in high keys

Arcane is the most fun

Go frost if you pug and want an easy spec

Go arcane if you pug and want a challenge

Go fire if you have a dedicated group to run with
