... but i have yet another "i have bad deeps" thread "/
i realize pre-80 dps is kind of a moot point cuz 5 mans are pretty much a joke, but lets be real-- im a mage. chart topping is what i do lol
my dps has literally decreased since ive hit northrend and i dont know why.
i could pull up to a thousand dps on aoe pulls in outland, and now for whatever reason i cant even push 800ish "/
im not gona ask about ratations or w/e, i just wana know if anyone else had that prob in northrend lol
ive rationalized it as "i havent gotten a nice big dps boosting talent or ability in about 10 levels, and now i imagine everyone else is just catching up and getting their big abilities" but i duno "/

Fire AoE spec? Laughable at the least, and fire and AoE should not even be uttered together to say the least.
Yeah, every mage who isn't slinging great hit rating and doing so without sacrificing their SP and crit to do so, will do more DPS than deep fire.
Arcane is good, don't get me wrong, but it's like DPSing with training wheels. 18/53 or 20/51 sling far more DPS once you're into high end raiding.

ya, but im a nub "/
raiding is in the forseeable future, but ive still got 8 lvls and a decent number of heroics to go before then.
i didnt realize that fire aoe was a no go though. there are a handful of talents that seem to go pretty well together.
do you think with the standard LB scorch, fb til hotstreak single target would out-dps aoeing?
what a sad day it is when im doing poorly on a mage (aoe kings lol) by aoeing "/

We are the AoE kings still. With certain specs.
Frost > Arcane>Fire/frost>Fire
You should only do single target dps on two or one mob. On anything else you should just Blizzard. (AP-IV-Blizzard with Arcane.)
Though, I swear I'm seeing better dps on big trash pulls by spamming Flamestrike as deep fire. XD

thats cool lol just from the old days in ZF when every pull was like... 10~ mobs i used to LOVE that flurry of constant crits from the shatter combo blizzard i was spamming.
i suppose ill just have to relinquish my love of the aoe and go single target from now on QQ
one... kindo f semi-and yet not quit-related question...
i hear mages top the deeps charts like... almost as a rule, but does that mean that we're the overall damage kings, as in damage done, or do we just top it as in we have the highest dps?
