In particular I'm looking to find out where to best spend my talent points so I can go with the 127 hit rating and have it be "maxed out" properly. I have no intention of changing from Frost, and right now I'm actually noticing that on WWS and Recount I'm doing better damage than the Fire or Arcane mages, so I want to squeeze out as much from my spec as possible. Your thoughts? :) Bluehairmage <a href="http://wowgrrl.com" rel="nofollow">WoWGrrl player blog</a> Hey there, I found your site while looking for some spec information for my Frost Mage who raids at times.

I feel I should be reaching a certain level and I make sure I am at least putting out the DPS I expect. I currently have +1063 damage to all schools (I think, I can't access Armory at work), 143 Spell hit rating, 202 Spell Crit rating. I recently dropped my Spellfire set for the Robe off the Lynx boss in ZA, the [/item]Studious Wraps[item] and the Voodoo-Woven Belt from heroic badges. I also switched to Arcane/Frost before we attempted A'lar (it was strongly suggested to ALL the mages to resepc to Frost, but that's another story). We went into Gruul, then attempted A'lar. There was lots of movement in Gruul and I did a whopping 480 DPS which was a complete disappointment and I had my doubts about being effective in A'lar. Well, I went to an Arcane Blast / Frostbolt rotation at the beginning on A'lar then all Frostbolts after we started moving around a bit. I ended up moving around less than in Gruul and ended up pushing 800 DPS in Phase I before getting owned in Phase II (the first time we had ever fought A'lar). What did everyone else do? No idea really. I watch my DPS, maybe look at the other mages, but I keep the numbers to myself. I know some people are obssessed with being at the top of the damage meters, even moreso than taking down a boss it seems, sort of like wanting to get the killing blow on a boss. The meters are only a tool I use for myself, but I may look into WWS just to see what the raid is doing as a whole. I use Recap only to monitor my own DPS.
