There's a myriad of strategies that depend on the talents trees you specialize in. The basic approach is the same. It is not uncommon to have no trouble with a ranged class beating you (such as hunters, casters and so on). WoW cataclysm Gold Your primary concern is to create the distance between yourself and melee-friendly classes (warriors or paladins and Shamans). Use frost armor blink, frost nova and poly. It's an excellent option to get the edge away from someone who had the advantage.

A thing to keep in mind is that a lot of mage players on PVP servers will give up their pure specialization in one talent tree to gain an array of abilities in two trees, such as Arcane/Fire and Arcane/Frost. In Arcane the main PVP magic spells include Arcane Missiles, and Arcane Explosion. You'll generally need to have some Fire abilities to increase damage or Frost to slow enemies. You could also focus on Fire or Frost, while you can also acquire some Arcane abilities to make your life more flexible. The typical divide is 31, on one specialization tree, and 20 talents in the other. This is because it is the minimum requirement to gain the power at the seventh level in the tree of talents.

Group PVP

Similar to groups of PVE you'll be the one responsible for destroying certain targets using nuke spells, however you'll need to be more vigilant about surviving because you're not able to count on your warriors to keep the fight going. In contrast you can use AE spells without attracting the attention of all enemies who is on the other side, and so spells such as Flamestrike or Blizzard are fantastic to cast at a time that the majority of your melee class members are battling out. If you stick with spells like these, you will not draw much attention to yourself. However, should you choose to cast Improved Arcane Explosion close to melee combatants they'll make you an immediate target.

Alongside pure damage, you can also use your crowd control spells and rooting spells to wreak destruction to enemy troops. Polymorph is an excellent choice against enemies who appear to pose a particular threat to you, and especially ones that aren't in any major melee area and Counterspell as well as Frost Nova can also be quite annoying to your enemies.

Your role in the group pvp environment is similar to the one you do the role of PVE. Your primary goal is to dish out damage quickly and making it difficult for your opponent with the use of counterspell, polymorph and frost Nova.Cataclysm Classic Gold As you're bound of having multiple players employing AE spells like arcane explosion is definitely an excellent option, but using ae to spam is a guaranteed method to attract the attention of your opponent's force.
