Rocket boots.

[Shuemue]

Well shit, another reason to consider engineering

[Correction]

More specifically, it's rocket boots + slowfall. To do that as another class you'd need noggenfogger

I'm going to go ahead and show you guys how Frostbite is useful in AoE grinding. Taking frostbite now is amazing, and is advisable in any build.

I lol'd. Wrath changed alot buddy.

Well I guess at level 80 sure it might be better but at lower levels I doubt you have the abilities/gear to backup specing into Frostbite. If not, well then my information is outdated and I stand corrected (I just started playing WotLK and haven't touched my Mage) but what I see here is a level 80 mage soloing large pulls, not someone leveling with Frostbite as a Frost Mage.

Your info is outdated past pretty much level 40, when a mage can suvive properly with the correct glyphs. It was important pre-bc because blizzard didn't crit, now that it benefits, and mob HP scaled much higher than BC mobs, it makes it so you use less mana per pull, and put out the maximum damage possible because of multiple back to back crits.

Pretty much ensures what you're AoEing is going to die in one frost nova/blizzard, especially if you take 3/3 imp blizz and 3/3 permafrost.

However, its more efficient to quest till you can access icecrown for good AoE spots and most frost builds take frostbite/FoF for quicker kills on mobs for single target pulls regardless.

If you're not 80 by the time you reach Icecrown you've done something horribly, horribly, wrong, AoE grinding or no AoE grinding. Honestly I don't see questing losing out to killing gobs of mobs until you run out of rested exp, even in Icecrown and its density of 5-man trip-ups.

I hit 80 at the beginning of basin, and I barely had any rest along the way.

I purposefully skip and start in icecrown @ 78 for quest blues/greens so I'm not completely gimp when I go into dungeons.

I always do: Fjord/Tundra/Dragonblight/Grizzly, and then unlock Ebon Blade and Argent Crusade tabards. By the time one of the reputations is at friendly, I'm 80.
