hi there i currently play a fire spec mage, i spend most of my wow-time pve-ing, but did *used* to enjoy bgs (despite what anyone says; fire in pvp = pure crazy fun )
the problem i have on my server is as soon as you hit 80... no-one runs bgs anymore so i was looking at getting into arena, nothing serious, just me & afew guild friends messing around, but i would still like to not lose *every* match :]
so i've got afew questions, first off; which spec? i'm not *quite* nutty enough to think straight-fire would be a good choice (for 2v2 or 3v3), but is arcane still the king? and would it be worth going far enough into fire to get dragon's breath & blastwave? [oh, i will prolly be running with a warrior/ dk, and maybe a paladin/ druid)
secondly; what gear? so far i've got (sorry, not sure how to link :s) the deadly gladiator's silk handguards (lucky voa drop ;p ), savage gladiator's silk raiment, & about 30k honor. when pvping, i tend to use mage armour *alot* (seeing as i tend to pvp in the same gear i pve in - lots of intellect, not much stamina. so is it best to aim for a complete pvp set? or should you keep arount some pve stuff for the haste/ int? also, should you use pvp trinkets? i've heard conflicting things about wether it's worth having the break polymorph at the expese of sp?
and lastly; how should you gem/ enchant? should you gem straight resilience? or throw in some health there? or sp? so yeah, basically i have no idea on gemming/ enchants here :s
so uh, sorry about the massive post, but any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers :3
