Mage Raid/dungeon dps???

[Dark Aiden]

Hey I'm looking for a extremely solid high dps mage build for doing Raids such as HK and just dungeons in general I have seen quite a few dps builds but someone always has something bad to say about them so if anyone could help me out that would be amazing

I know my english is far from perfect so i apologise for any mistake :P

I assume you dont have already the HK crystal and you dont have at least 4x HK pieces.

36 pyro/30 warlock is the only viable raid spec if you lack the cry/4x hk pieces

As soon you take 4x HK + warlock HK crystal (not the one in sanctum, the one near HK vendors) you probably want to try out the 38 warlock / 28 pyromancer (aka Defilemancer).
A lot of ppl prefers to stick on the 36 pyro / 30 warlock because the Defilmancer is a bit tricky to master and the gain in dps is not so huge to force ppl use it.

So basically:

36py/30wl until 4 pieces hk

when you have 4 hk pieces, you have to choose if you want to stick on 36py/30wl (and take the hk pyro crystal) or move to the 38wl/28py defilemancer (by taking the warlock crystal)

Both are very viable specs.

for 5mans and trash in raids you might aswell run sc/pyro as it gives sweet aoe numbers.

for singletarget bosses 36/30 pyrolock or 38/28 defile spec is the best possible choice.
