Why do you narks never tell people what you actually put your points into? Did you start off with arcane, did you put it into frostbite and skip some spells then get so and so? -_-

Just play what you enjoy playing or what you think might be cool.

So, i never played mage in Vanilla and i'm a bit confused. I read all the threads in this forum and still I'm not sure if I should rly put points into imp blizzard (and permafrost) if i don't plan to do aoe leveling. Is it really worth it? =/
Maybe you could explain that to me a little bit more in detail.

Sorry but I'm just a damn vanilla scrub

No such thing as a vanilla scrub. Just play to enjoy. If you're having fun and being social, that's what made Vanilla great.

permafrost is great. imp blizzard you don't need. aoe leveling on a pvp server just isn't worth it until level 50+, but i'm not sure if this server is using the patched version of resetting instances. Personally, i wouldn't worry about it. You won't have the time to sit there and round up all the mobs to aoe level. Either you're going to get ganked, or other people will be there killing mobs. i.e. Hillsbrad Fields or the murlocs in dustwallow. If you aren't killing more than 4 mobs per aoe pull, it's just not worth it.

If all you're worrying about is leveling, do whatever you want. Just remember that you'll need to take survivability into account (pvp server) and that the rate of leveling = rate of how fast you kill mobs. This means mana efficiency and not dying.
