FG/Ember is NOT a PvP spec, its no wonder you can't beat him.

really? How can you beat a mage that knows when to silence you, your fears and dots have 1/2 duration (lolcoil 1.5 sec) and he can instant shot you forever? I can beat 90% of mages but if a mage knows how to play its a lost fight.

- My anti ANYTHING.
For mages, first thing you need is PvP gear. Next thing you need is above build. After that, you need ~80 Spell Penetration. Got all that? Great!
Strategy: As frost spec, his first move will be to nova+stun you. Trinket his first stun. If he polymorphs you, you can always use Devour Magic to get out of it. Use Shadowfury to interrupt casts and prevent him from running; it is also great as an "O SHI" button if he counterspells your fire school. Remember to fear as often as possible.
Burst down his shield with Immo+Conflag, they tend to waste Blink in order to get out of Conflag's snare. Remember, if he Counterspells YOU,
Counterspell him back
!
Chaos Bolt is your best friend, it will pierce through all his armors. Even when PvP Spec, mages tend to have lower amounts of stamina then most classes; use this to your advantage.
Use LOLCOIL and Fear at your own discretion, but remember to keep fear up as much as possible. A CC'ed mage is a dead mage.
Don't forget that you can banish/fear
his elemental
, if you don't want to bother remember to put up Curse of Tongues on the little sucker to slow him down.
Those are the tips I can provide, the rest just relies on you to practice.

to add, i think that the other thing is that people won't generally make a post to say they largely agree with what's been said. what most often moves people to post is disagreement.
if i'm honest i suppose i'm something of a pedant and so i will often make quick posts just to correct a couple of (possibly minor) details. this may appear to be point scoring but i think it's good for corrections of the few things we can call
facts
to be done. misconceptions spread far easier than the truth so good info bears repeating.
as yizelin says though, the to and fro of intelligent debate is a wonderful thing. the discussion here doesn't always reach those heights but i strongly agree that a well made point can improve us all. just don't let it get you down when you feel mired in the minutiae.

Dude Im pretty sure that a lock of my skill skill as affliction cant beat a mage equally skilled. If you know the way spit it out. Dont play smart by keeping the secret recipe to yourshelf.
I find the destro vs mage too easy to give any tips. The spec wins by itshelf. My question stills stands. If you feel like it give tips...
The op was asking how to beat a pvp mage with a pve spec. I always asume equaly pvp and at least bg gear and equal skill. I dont think and fg ember spec can beat a pvp speced mage. It would be unfair.

You use anything, seriously, mages can barely kill their level creatures.
