Do you guys have certain Mage specs you want with every raid? For example, I know 51 Archon is a necessity, but is a SC/Elem with Staic Flux? What other specs do you try to have in every raid?
What Mage specs are relatively "must have" for raids?

I am a lawyer in real life, but I try to roleplay an honorable character ;)
You should have:
Pyro/Ele or Necro/Lock (whatever you can do the best ST DPS with)
SC/Ele
Chloro (of course, depends on your guild)
And obviously if you play Archon you should have Archon.
But it mostly depends on your guild. Our Chloro player basically only plays Chloro, so she might bring 3 different Chloro specs to raid. But if you have those 3 you can pretty much do what you need to in raids.
All the builds can be found throughout this forum, they get posted probably 10 times per page.

Depends on your role in your raid,
I am a DPS role so I carry.
Chloromancer (Everyone should have this spec.)
Stormcaller/Elementalist (Every DPS should know this spec.)
Pyromancer/Elementalist (Every DPS should know this spec but not rely on it.)
Pyro/Dom (Trash and Estrode)
Chloro/Dom (PvP)
I'll just list my specs.Originally Posted by Brad1959
SC/Ele: My only PVE DPS spec.
Domlock (33/33): HK (AE interrupt for trash, squirrel duty for construct-spam boss) PVP(Solo/group support)
Chlorolock (32/34/0 Archon): HK (Magetank), PVP "healspec" (yes, 51/10/5AM is better), solo chronicles.
Pyrodomichon(38/28/0): HK (for Estrode).
PVP Lock (51/15AM/0 archon)...
Deepstrike <Black Flag>
Vice Chairman of the Defiant Repopulation Committee
Ereldys - Mage
Heth - Cooldownblade
We also run Archon (Bluedot spec) for buff/debuff on some fights. And SC/Ele is great for the bubble phase on the final boss of DH.
PvE raid:
Archon (51)
Chloro (51)
Storm/ele (building storm)
PyroDomiArchon (instant squirrel / matron / estrode)
PvP:
ChloroLock
Onde, mage dps / healing / support (Note: old signature)
<Archetype>, Icewatch
EE 2/5 | FT 4/4 | TotDQ 4/4 | 8/8 ID | 11/11 HK | 5/5 GSB | 5/5 RoS | 4/4 GP | 4/4 DH | RotP 4/4 | PF 4/4 | PA 628
The only mage spec a raid really needs is an Archon. Everything else can be done by other callings.
I'm so BORED
I don't know any other calling that can put down 3.7k dps on matron (AE heavy fight). We had a sabdancer do 2.4k, in second place.

I was the resident Archon in our raids so I had 2 Archon specs:
Archon/Pyro/Dom (For more damage)
Archon/Lock/Ele (For damage mitigation) This spec helped a lot for Hylas and some other encounters when we were progressing but not as much after we were farming it
Pyro/Ele DPS
NecroLock DPS
SC/Ele AOE DPS
Cabalist can match our AoE. I've seen our Cab parse 4k's.
GSB: 5/5, RoS: 4/4, HK: 10/11
GP: 4/4, DH: 4/4
On what?
Are you talking about the 14-target trash pulls in GSB where the SC doen't have time to hit LF #1?

Um, basically every AoE fight in HK. The one I was thinking of is Akylios during Phase 1.
