THE ULTIMATE FROST MAGE CATA PVP GUIDE by AEGHIS (Rank 1 Mage Arena Guide)

[@frstflvr7327]

Damn - 1 and a half hour long guide? We have been blessed!

[@OSRSSco]

Thanks for this dude. New pvper here for cata and classic. Play frost mage and ive had nothing but ups n downs in arena. But im gonna keep pushing and being better! This guide is game changer.

[@codycroce2489]

Same brother 💪🏼 we got this

[@vethil233]

Made a fresh mage to try out Cata mage and of all the R1 mages ive looked for to get advice from, you are by far the best to follow. Thank for this video, it helps out a lot of people learning mage.

[@tjyeee]

regarding pet control, yes you did learn something! if your water ele is out you can control the Mirror Images with /petfollow /petattack like DKs control their gargoyles!

[@doryosef3267]

OMG YOU BEST

[@lostheboss7938]

Wait, really?

[@tjyeee]

@@lostheboss7938 yeah really, if you have the pet bar enabled (water ele out) you can control the Mirror Images through a macro with /petattack and /petfollow together

[@csquared4538]

One of the only guides I've seen that goes into detail on things you want to know. Wish someone would make one for sub rogue.

[@davidmolstad6292]

Been watching for a while now and you are hands down one of the best mages in the game right now! Like, subscribe, bell, comment, and share. The least we can do to return the favor for such an awesome guide.

[@didakhouly3725]

I’ve always been a PVE player and never tried PVP in wow before, then I decided to try it in Cata and this is very helpful! Thanks so much ❤

[@osten432]

You are really good at teaching!

[@daniellovisa21]

just what I was looking for! thanks man

[@skar4276]

This is perfect for me trying to pick up both mage and arena in general! Thank you so much

[@daniellovisa21]

would love for you to do some more of those vod reviews

[@baade6010]

41:11 you actually can stop mirror images with pet passive btw but its frost only since its tied to your water ele i guess, wont work for fire / arcane.

[@MsBluepride]

Very detailed and well put mate. Waiting for fire mage guide desperately 😊

[@CheryShow]

Amazing content as always! GOOD WORK AEGHIS big up from benediction !

[@giannislazaridis8420]

lol what a patient guide of everything.Wp dude :D

[@Paschus]

Great Guide! Just wanted to share: Frostfirebolt can trigger Fingers even with the glyph!

[@boganbattalion7088]

Can you do a video showing what to do for openers most importantly who to cc first and who to attack! I am never show who to cc and who to target, finally found a 2's partner after trying for ages and we are sort of doing ok but I could really do with some pointers playing 2's with a warlock and how to open and cc, we wing it and obviously have a lot of control but the start of the match is really make or break and quite often playing double dps it's hard to know what to cc and not. Especially a duo like dk and warrior or dk and paladin when they have multiple ways to avoid cc

[@Inshnale]

hey man nice vid, what addon do you use to add more bar in your interface? thanks!

[@boganbattalion7088]

Something no one ever talks about in these video's is how do use target players in arena? What keys do you guys use for arena 123 cs and sheep? One of the biggest struggles I am having is figuring out comfy binds that are easy to use

[@boganbattalion7088]

Don't worry I think I can see it on your bar there

[@mitchypoo286]

Its all personal preference man. I use ASD to target, shift asd to cs, crtl asd for deep and alt asd for spellsteal

[@julius7949]

i use mouse buttons for players and shift mouse buttons for pets. my mouse has like 6 buttons tho

[@mc23talbot1]

[@MJ-uw8ru]

Hey dude! Superguide ❤ U have a bartender profile? Cant find it on Discord for cata?

[@matiquiroga6189]

I need this for Fire now...u r so good mate...im learning honestly.

[@giannislazaridis8420]

@Aeghis just made my comeback,and the only thing i cannot found out is how i make the procs of FoF and FFB on my UI.

[@Fr0zenCSGOTV]

any ideas how to reforge it to crit chance cap at ~17.10% ? i've using reforgeLite Classic and didn't know how to solve that to not had over 18% critical chance

[@burlyboilou6702]

love the vid! however i cannot get the macro for the mouseover remove curse to work. I feel like i typed it exactly how you have it and whenever i try to use the macro it just puts the macro text into game chat and doesnt cast anything.

[@erikmalmberg1295]

About the deep freeze vs immune targets, does not a Bladestorming warrior count as immune, meaning it does alot vs them?

[@Aeghis]

Nah doesnt work

[@recks1313]

great guide, do you not recommend getting flame-ascended pantaloons instead of the vicious pants if you can

[@MrSenserus]

Hey Aeg, any idea if there's a way to get class colours on the minimap? Or some way to maybe get the ally you're targeting to show up with an out line on the minimap, something like that?

[@Gatar47858]

Yo man , need a fire mage guide 🔥🧙‍♂️

[@janpetira5130]

Hello I am starting on mage for Firelands season. Is it gonna be heavily reliant on PvE gear or not? Will I be fine with full PvP aiming for high rating?

[@SGGANG13]

Hey @Aeghis, can you tell me how you reach 4% hit cap with only the Hit PvP Ring + reforge Crit > Hit Belt and a few Purple gems that add only 20 Hit each ? xD For 4% Hit you need like 410HitScore. Ring is only 134 so I don't understand how you get the 276pts missing without any other Hit part hihi. Ty for the content anyway, Learning a lot !

[@PurpleDragonSpike]

@Aeghis 30:00 if you're playing RM 2s or with one in 3s do you count tricks of the trade in your Crit calculation? Or do you consider it just an extra bonus?

[@asilhanozaltn875]

Did u find it because I am actually still trying to find the answer..

[@julius7949]

im having a real hard time deciding if i should go full pvp gear with a pve trinket (soul casket) because the full pvp gear route takes away a lot of crit and mastery and the resil just doesnt seem worth the lost crit and big fof dmg

[@swoldicus]

what weakarua do you use for your brainfreeeze and fingers of frost procs

[@Icicleyo]

Do you know or remember if the quick frostbolt talent buff is intended to be consumed even though you dont cast it? Say you're fakecasting as an example.

[@fakezcsgo3396]

can u make a vid on statweights like when it comes to reforging? i know u touch on stats in the vid but yea would be cool to get the statweights for reforgelite addon :D

[@Aeghis]

Check my UI vid

[@sweaterzz5597]

I noticed in the burst rotation you didn’t mention deep freeze. Do you use that for damage? Or more for just a stun since them being in a nova would do the same amount of damage

[@klangkang6519]

Deep freeze doesn't damage players

[@alexosswald5167]

The only thing wrong i noticed is glyph of frost fire bolt . You said it doesn't proc fingers but it actually does, which is huge.

[@Aeghis]

Hmm are you sure?

[@Aether_Aurora]

@@Aeghis for some reason yes, it still does! Tested with both hard-casting frostfire bolt and with brain freeze procs, you will still get fingers of frost on both with the glyph active! What's strange to me is that permafrost isn't active at all with frostfire bolt whether you have the glyph or not; dunno if its a bug or not but yeah, confirmed to give fingers with glyph.

[@andreasburleigh6622]

where can i get your weakauras for fingers of frost and brainfreeze? :)

[@NotMyPL]

where u find ur transmog ?

[@doubleaa6316]

Anyone know where to find the feral proc weak aura? 1:01:31

[@ramsaker1]

Hi, should i wait for fire cata guide?)

[@julius7949]

i disagree on the piercing chill talent part. it's very good for peeling and set ups you should place at least one point in that taken away from Enduring. Enduring is nice because you waste less mana but there are ways to get around that with glyphs. i hardly go oom without Enduring.

[@naitsirhcvh]

Hey I am new Mage player, does this work for Retail ? THanks !

[@asilhanozaltn6775]

why there is no sixtyupgrades link man .. ?

[@Iuslez]

Why do you aim for 17% crit? Isn't our cap 33%? Maybe i missed the explanation. I'm maxing out crit since i play both frost and fire and it's the only stats with good value across both specs. I wonder if i should try higher mastery

[@whyso70]

If you go undead we use insignia crit?

[@tobiasrasmussen2486]

Do you know how frostfire orb words with CC? Because it wont his into CC sometimes, and sometimes it randomly breaks a blind or something.

[@Aeghis]

it’s pretty smart! it wont break cc but it will if they blind “mid-zap” but usually it doesnt

[@tobiasrasmussen2486]

Okay thanks a lot! I’ll be careful then.

[@Falruk]

why mage armor and not molten armor or frost armor? Nevermind you explain it

[@gmailgmail-n9c]

bro how do i model change? wowmodelviewer? may i have a link pls

[@Aeghis]

imorph

[@benjamind977]

i dont find yopu finger frost weakaura on discord can you link me profil? thanks for guide

[@veddyveng]

this IQ of play is unbelievable

[@sebastianbechpetersen858]

Any chance you can test how much more dmg Mirror is than volcano?

[@Aeghis]

Mirror is way better trust

[@sebastianbechpetersen858]

@@Aeghis Yeah I figured, thanks bro! I think I can only get 359 Mirror rn tho /sadge

[@alexpearson3604]

I got a question as a frost mage I cannot fight unholy dk or really any dk. Is this a skill issue or are dk hard counters and what else is a hard counter?

[@Aeghis]

I have a duel video VS the best dk in cata! check it out

[@alexpearson3604]

Hey man thanks for the reply I checked out your video on the dk and I loved it and definitely subscribed. I have another dumb question how do I set my ui up like yours where it tracks the opponents cd. Is it an addon or do you have a video going through how to set it up. Thank you.

[@emredeniz6441]

what about professions?

[@DJSummerDM1]

What are you addons.. those would help alot for me

[@Aeghis]

Check my UI vid

[@monkeyatschool99]

Why is every1 fire tho? Will frost be better later seasons?

[@harveyspecter2567]

what is the macro for pet move?

[@jacobsvensson3064]

What is the reason for 17% crit cut off? What does it mean?

[@Aeghis]

Shatter multiplies crit by 3 17x3 = 51 More of a chance to crit than not to. Then you pump the rest into mastery so your crits actually do damage

[@jacobsvensson3064]

@@Aeghis Would you recomend going 5% lower even like 12% if playing with a Rogue then? Since the 5% crit buff they give

[@stefanfriedli6641]

Do you recommend frost or fire for rbg?

[@kevinneparidze3973]

For any kind of bg fire rules ofc lol not even close 😂

[@kevinneparidze3973]

For 2s bracket which spec is stronger fire or frost?

[@Aeghis]

Fire is pretty much always better/easier. Frost has it’s place in Frost RM/P but it requires seriously clean gameplay

[@devin6272]

why are you reforging crit to mastery and mastery to crit when you could just leave both

[@baade6010]

11:00 technically not true since strand of ancients / wintergrasp is "pvp" Kekw

[@lolxd3347]

How can I get this transmog

[@Jdicevance]

FR

[@burnsilog3226]

Is this build okay for raiding as well?

[@lolleonlolable]

how is 20%more of 3%, 4% ?? ^^ it should be 3.6%

[@PurpleDragonSpike]

Pretty sure it rounds up

[@Aeghis]

it just rounds up most likely!

[@arivogle34]

I tried arcane but that is simply thrash compared to frost

[@Yokazz]

Learn from Xandyn back in the day, Lance lance lance, everything else is waste of time and dps :D
