You're judging it when all you know is:
1. I have improved CS
2. I have water elemental
3. I don't have frostbite?
Enlighten me, if you'd be so kind.

While I happen to enjoy (and am used to playing with) my current spec, please, advise me how my spec should be changed to meet with your approval, no matter how etherial and transient it would undoubtedly prove to be.
Not only are you a loser, you're boring at it.
Arcane impact is ok, but not really worth the points. Max out absorbtion.
Why do you have one point in Imp. CoC? Put three or don't bother. Why don't you have frost bite when you have shatter?

Yeah, my frost tree is a bit of a mess. That one point in CoC was put in back in pc BC when I had a spare point and wanted a bit more damage from it in PvP.
As for attunement, I may switch that out, but Amplify magic actually came in handy in AQ20... I'd cast it on everyone in the raid, and they'd get bonus healing from Andorov, making his aura heal for 425.
I went a little John Madden on it. It should be easy enough to decipher, but I'll make it a little clearer;
You need Frostbite.
You do not need so much Permafrost.
You need 5/5 Shatter.
You need either 0/3 or 3/3 Imp CoC.
Given your mana pool, you may not need Frost Channeling.
I forgot to note it, but you do not need Elemental Precision.
Several of your gear choices are misguided. Being a monstrous gold farmer in Enchanting, Herbalism, and raiding with SoK, you should have ample opportunity to replace or enhance those pieces of shit.
Mana/5 is worthless. Especially without Arcane Meditation. If you want to regenerate mana in combat, you go big or you go home. As a Frost spec you barely need to worry about it in the first place.
For the love of god, replace the enchant on your Summoner's. It may look omgevilcool to you, but it makes you look retarded.
That ring sucks. Get rid of it. There were plenty quest rewards and instance drops on the way to 70 to replace it with awesome blues.
The leggings blow. If you want an easy recommendation, go get the Warlock dungeon set legs. Mad stamina and +damage.
Robe sucks too. Put some effort into a replacement.

Yeah, a lot of what you say about my trees makes sense. You're right, it does look.... misguided. Will respec tonight, prolly.
As for mana/5, first few times we tried BM, I kept running out of mana. Of course, we were killing too slowly, so I thought more mana/5 couldn't hurt. (We did, subsequently succeed in BM, fyi, though not with the same group)
Heh... the enchant on the sword was kind a joke. I do have the recipe for Major Spellpower (+40 spell damage to weapon) in the bank (I got lucky farming it), just waiting for me to get 12 more enchanting points.
Only other robes I have in the bank are the Kirin Tor appentice robes, and the level 60 purple PvP robe. Gonna be instance time soon.

Black Morass? Congratulations.
You can drink between portals. You can evocate, you can use a conjured gem, you can potion.. You can drop your beacon on Medivh, invis to drop out of combat, and fucking drink; mana is not a problem for a mage. You did know that Invis drops you out of combat, right.

Spell penetration can't create a vulnerability that doesn't already exist and you generally need a fuckton of it for it to be worth anything against mobs that do have resistance.

I hope it doesn't hit my mana pool too hard - I kinda liked being able to kill 3-4 mobs (when soloing) without having to drink. We'll see.

Because I used Winter's Chill for a few months and honestly didn't see it's benefit - I didn't notice a difference in crit rate whether it was stacked on a mob five times or zero.
Winter's Chill is worthless solo PVE and PVP. If you're raiding and no other frost mage has it, then it might be beneficial to pick it up, but that's the only time.
i can not put my characters in.

There was a frost nova nerf in the last patch. I'm not sure if I'll go arcane/fire yet.
quote:
Naimah had this to say about Tron:
Deep fire is only really good for the Dragons Breath "oh shit" button. In general you can get more out of the middle to deep arcane talents.
Deep Fire is also really good for DPS. Your Fireballs hit significantly harder than a 33/28 setup and only crit for slightly less. Dragon's Breath is a great AoE tool in addition to being total hax in PvP. In certain (crit heavy) gear setups you can get more damage out of a more arcane oriented spec, but unless you're stacking crit you'll get more out of deep fire.
And I keep PoM because that instant fuck-you Pyroblast makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside. 
I've gone the deep arcane/shallow fire quite a few times - hell, I respec almost weekly to try new things - and I just keep coming back to the consistency of deeper fire. Maybe when - and if - Ignite ever gets fixed I'll go back to a more crit-oriented build, but right now it just isn't worth it. Greenlit fucked around with this message on 03-08-2007 at 03:40 AM.

Yea, but with 33/28 you're going to be pushing 30% crit assuming you're geared correctly and the stacking of Spell Power and Ignite is just massive and will start to out pace the last two points of Firepower and Imp. Fireball rather quickly.
Granted having that much crit makes not ripping agro a royal pain in the ass, but so goes absolutely massive damage potential.

If you've got that high of a crit rate before talents/buffs, then yeah you'll get more out of 33/28. If you're stacking more +damage, though, Deep Fire has the advantage.
Of course, adding a Lightning Capacitor into the mix can change things around fairly quickly.

And then your Ignite fails to stack and your damage begins to disappear, leaving you pissing against the wind that is Shadow Priests and every other class that can DPS now. But at least we've got Polymorph.
