Mazimizing my Mage's power- Help PleaseFollow

#1 Mar 29 2007 at 7:13 PM Rating: Decent
Hey all; I'm a 62 mage; frost mage to be exact. I have a load of spell damage; decent gear; but I'm sweating a bit to stay ontop of the damage meters.(Usually beat rogues and other mages by .5 percent)

After leafing through these forums I'm reading that my frostbolts should be doing about 1k apiece; critting for the 2k range. Mine only do about 800 and crit for 1600. Anyways; I could keep rambling on about the specifics; but here's the armory profile...

http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Demon+Soul&n=Baculus (If the totals show up a bit low; it's because of a bout of rez sickness)

So my question is simple; how can I maximize my mages power?

Get better gear man, I was doing 1,200 Frostbolts at level 60 long before the xpac released, you need upgrades is all.

I think part of your problem is your choice of talents. You are missing Frostbite. Can be very effective. And your empowered frostbolt should be maxed out. It will give you another 3% crit chance and another 6% bonus damage above what you have now, which works out to 17.5 damage per bolt without crits.
Also, level your tailoring. Seriously. You can increase your bonus spell dmg alot, just check it out on this site. And some of the BoP epics for Lv 70 are the best that I can find.
I, personally, would go for +dam over +crit. For the most part it will do you more good. With all of the best crafted gear and enchants, not including any trinkets, you can get +1048 +dam from your gear. And then you will be hitting the 3k crits all of the time.

You should max out Piercing Ice & Empowered Frostbolt.

if you want all out dmg switch to a fire or arc/fire build you will notice an increase

im not frost so i cant help you there but if you spec fire dont bother scorching on trash they just die to fast to be worth it

i see you have tailoring so definatly pick up the bop gear of your choice asap and then work on the mats for spellstrike set
