Ok, Before they nerf and totally screw the mage class, what are peoples thoughts on whether to go fire or to go ice? At the moment Sareel is ice and Drastablon is fire.

After experiencing both I tend to like ice as the frost bolt causes less agro and will slow down the enemy. And pyro blast hardly gets used for some reason! Although fire is supposing best for PVP!

Frost does give more options, such as ice block (which shields the caster for 10secs) cold snap (clears down count on frost spells) which means you can repeat frost nova, handy in PVP and PVE to fix the enemy. Also if you get frostbite all chill effects to freeze the target (kind of like a free frost nova!) it also seems to work with frost wands!!

For fire the most useful spell would be blast wave as its an instance cast, very useful in PVP. I think I am right in saying that fire tends to DOT the enemy with burning effects causing more damage.

Two things the mage definitely needs is clear cast and evocation (this will be given to us in the next update!), so a little needs to be spent in arcane.

This is my plan for Sareel with the ice set up
Ice Mage

Fire mage would be:
Fire Mage

As for arcane I havent tried it so its up to someone else to clarify its uses.

As Soulranger has now joined us, I'm interested to talk about talent points for the mighty warlock class! At the moment Corvus is set up to work hand in hand with an imp demon. I was thinking of changing and going to affliction (mainly Destruction at the moment) the only thing I can see of benifiting me would be the Siphon life talent.

Any thoughts?

Corvus Talents

Yea this is the problem no one wants to play healers, as they dont have any incentive. This is why at level 60 we carnt get anything going. Although Shasto was on last night.
