I thought that Mages produce the highest DPS with the least gear

Another mage slightly better geared than me wasn't going far as well.

Mages are highly gear dependent, especially arcane mages. Try frostfire bolt
for more DPS at your gear level. On the flip side, mages do well when geared
well. I only do 25-man raiding anymore, but I'm consistently one of the
highest DPSers and almost always the highest caster-class DPS.



What spec would the frostfire be and what talent points would be
better to take. Its all in the talent points.

thanks
