    Timewalking Frost Mage. Which gems?

    Wondering what gems a frost mage should be sticking in red sockets for timewalking because nowhere seems to actually confirm what's best (believe me i've looked on this website and google).

    All i've really found is:
    http://blizzardwatch.com/2015/07/19/...walking-mages/
    http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...hant-Questions

    None really confirm the answer (maybe if I read through 5 million replies in the MMO thread)

    So...

    10 int ?
    5 int / 10 crit ?
    5 int / 10 haste ?

    At the moment i'm using 10 int gems.

    For timewalking it's always main stat/attunement secondary stat and that have to be epic gems (blue one gets scaled down), but man ...Frost and timewalking?!? Bad choice tbh. Arcane or Fire is the truth there.
    Fire is the most fun of of them in WotLK and TBC. Fire bomb, flame strike and meteor just destroy the trash adds. And with the funny level of crit that you can get, you will also make epic ignites for the combustion for sick boss damage.
    Arcane is pure anihilation on bosses too. Nether tempest also deals a lot of damage on trash combined with AE, and i use 4p of T13 with glyphed AP so yea i am also destroying the bosses too.
    Frost... i tried it. Its good for Cata TW, but for WotLK and TBC it's meh compared to the other two. Trust me you will have a lot more fun with them.

    A humble noam opinion

    Thanks guys. And ye for my hunter I just used pure agility (agi / crit in orange gems for socket bonuses etc). Wasn't sure if it was the same for frost mages. Glad it is though as my main mage is currently gemmed pure int in red sockets. And ye i've been using the epic gems.

    I actually have 2 mages though (both frost lols) but ye I should try fire for a bit of variety but i've always been a bit lazy trying out a new spec on a class after i've already got comfortable with something.

    arcane, with BiS timewalking gear makes the entire instance and bosses completely trivial
