            <description><![CDATA[ Looks like Incanter's Absorption getting nerfed big time.  Only will work off Mana Shield, Frost Ward and Fire Ward.  Most of the consensus is drop it altogether in your post-3.3.3 spec-:?  Still will have situational use though-]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ i was doing some reading and research and i have just today 1/4/2010 decided to change my spec around a little bit. A lot of the top mages are beginning to drop student of the mind and pick up incanter's absorption. that used to be part of my spec anyways but now i have decided to incorporate it in my talent build as well as i dont really think that the magic attunement talent is worth a whole lot considering if u max it u only get an extra six yards to cast.... to me taking magic absorption to up the amount of SP gained from incanter's absorption and boost my pew pew was a lil better... let me know about your thoughts on this and please pst your specs as well.. i think that if we collect our knowledge we can still top the meters ;) <br />
<br />
[<a href="http://www.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=8&tal=23002503010033015032012250532103000000000000000000000000002032030010000000000000000000" rel="nofollow" >www.wowarmory.com</a>] <br />
<br />
now on to my rotations...  i have a strong tendency to use abx5 then am if i have a proc if not cast a 6th to see if i can get that proc then use am any ways to reset the counter... now if u were to do this rotation the whole fight your going to go oom within the first 30 secs of the fight so plz dont do that.. instead judge how much mana you have left and be mindful how much your consuming while your casting and keep an eye on your evocation cd.  throughout the fight you might find that you have to slow down on the dps and start using abx4 then am  as well as, usually should never happen but with deaths and breses, u may end up needing to use your am proc as soon as its up to conserve mana. It is always wise to pop your mana gem at between 90-93% mana left so as to go back up to 100% and you know you should be able to use it again b4 your at 0% mana. <br />
<br />
a couple of other quick tips i always try to use evocate when my arcane power is finished and on cd and my icy veins is still running to get a hasted evocate, providing that u always pop AP IV and mirror at the same time like i do.<br />
<br />
there was also some conversations going on about haste and the soft cap. from what i have read you want to sit around 30% haste which means about 1k-1.2k haste and then start gemming for crit/sp never pure crit and if u really want skip the crit and go for pure sp tho imo crit/sp would be more bennificial because i do love to see them 25-30k crits on abx4 ;)<br />
<br />
on to cool downs. from what i have also read if you meet your haste soft cap 800-1200 you want to stop using your cd's during hero because the gcd is one second and if ur ab is faster than that ur wasting haste<br />
so try to time it so that you use ur cd's either right b4 and/or right after and also once you meet your 800-1200 haste ratings you want to start using pot of wild magic during her/cds. <br />
<br />
pls pst your opinions rotations or any extra info you have and feel free to comment on what i have posted im always willing to learn more]]></description>

Love the change that with the right talent, that Pyro-blast becomes a 1.5 sec cast (too bad the mages helath has to be below 35%)  but i see the advantage]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Mages are seriously fun characters! Niles is currently a full ice mage at level 70. Ice mages are used primarily for controlling mobs. All the frost effects and freezing. Also all mages have sheep abilities. Higher levels can get a pig or turtle spell instead of the sheep. <br />
<br />
Fire mages are used for their High Crits! The damage they can do is insane sometimes. <br />
<br />
I havent really used Arcane Talents that much and do not know much about the tree other than reading posts on Allkazam.<br />
<br />
Other than that just ask and you shall receive.]]></description>
