Hallo,

I recently heard that Fire spec is more efficient right now for a mage and a lot of ppl changed from Arcane to Fire.
So,what's your opinion on this issue cause it really put me in a lot of thoughts.

Stay true to the dreams of your youth!!!

As far as I understand it Fire only starts to pull away from Arcane in terms of damage when you get into full 264 gear or higher.

Using arcane spec in heroic dungeons is better than fire. In raid, where you must keep up dps long I think fire is better because of better mana management through mana-free Scorch and Master of Elements -talent (used also in arcane spec). This is just my opinion. And after all, I think that fire is more fun to play! :)

Yes, arcane isnt as sustainable over long encounters (especially not when AoE is involved).

Atm I prefer fire for AoE encounters and frost for pure single target.
