[Guide] Dalaran Tome of Knowledge - How to Mage

[Caitlin]

Really nice guide.

Just to add to the BIS list, assuming it's available in 1.4 the BIS OH is Drakestone of Frozen Wraith from ST

Give's you a nice 28 Frost damage. It's equally BIS for Locks and Spriests with the Shadow Wraith mod.

The part about monster resistance was copy-pasted from a guide on another private server, where those numbers are used ingame even though they are not blizzlike. Probably not accurate for nostalrius

Looks good, but an ele build is missing under the PvP category.

Fire Ward / Frost Ward Macro

Code: Select all

/run local x = IsShiftKeyDown(); if x == nil then cast("Fire Ward") else cast("Frost Ward") end

is there any way to use shift,alt and ctrl in one macro?

Yes, you can use IsCtrlKeyDown() or IsAltKeyDown()

I understand that, but how can I use 2-3 modifiers in one macro? can you post an example?
Like this macro I use in wotlk:

/cast [nomod] Cold Snap
/cast [mod:shift] Scorch
/cast [mod:ctrl] Flamestrike

I think there should be "elseif" statement or something like this.

is the arcane crystal pendant in the game yet?

I tried doing the quest chain and it stopped after the sirens enchanted coral with no available quest afterwards.

Bugged or not available yet? There was not even a silver exclamation mark. I am lvl 50 which i believe is the req level.

No it's on yet.

A really nice good guide. A couple of questions that have been nagging me and I couldn't find an answer on my owm:

I'm using grid atm, and it's not bad nor great. I can't complain as how ignorant I'm at doing complex UI things but I'm really interested in a guide/tips for a clear UI for us mages. With the decursive addon I can see the cursed ppl on the grid frames, which is really great. But, what I want to see also is the Arcane Intellect/Brilliance buff: who has it and who doesn't. I'd love if someone could share me an addon that let you see that.

Thanks in advance,
