Project 'Nuke'em'
Ok, so I went on a ganking spree today, and I found my fire/shatter abit lacking, it was also very pve oriented.
So, I wanted something completely different, something that people hates, something that you can say: "Ok, hopefully this is enough to shut him up".
Its not the same PvE dps, but.. he-he

This is a "NUKE hard, hope to survive build", anti-caster slow also included.

Very nice... I haven't tried arc/fire yet, but I bet those crits will hurt even more than before.
Personally I would have gone for something like this if I had a 70 mage:

Iceblock and coldsnap for both PvP and PvE survivability, other than that, as much dmg to frost and AM as possible.

Dena, no doubt PoM AP Pyro is the thing people hate the most. Especiallny when You gank, because the corpse run can take up to 3 minutes, so when a noob is back, You have it ready And good that You haven't chosen Dragon's Breath, because it rocked on level 60, but now i find it a little risky to use in PvP - you have to come close and it's still "resist and you're in deep shit" kind of a game.
Chimp: Arcane Potency looks good, true. It gives 3% to crit overall, if I were Dena, I'd dump improved blink and prismatic cloak and take it, because it gives you some crit-control that is similiar to shatter. In PvP you use short casts: fireblast, scorch, ice lance, so clearcasting happens very often. See clearcast? Stop using short casts, pop AP+Trinkets+PoM, launch pyroblast followed by fire blast. Or, if PoM is on CD, try to land a fireball.
BTW, I'll gladly join every guild-organised BG soon Maybe we shall make an Eye of the Storm evening and rock like we did around christmas?

Re: Project 'Nuke'em'
Arcane Potency is very pve oriented talent, made for AM spam. You gain some crit while chain casting but in pvp you need survival more than the extra 30% crit every 1/10 cast. Denatuz's build is made for one shotting, not for chain casting imo. 4% off on all damage is kinda alot and what is the most used defensive spell in pvp? blink ofc. Btw, there is absolutely no possibilty in pvp to check if you have clear casting or not when you're casting. If you stop casting and start doing something else, you're possibly dead.

Hm, good points. But if it's a total PvP build, then impact > improved fireball, especially with the latest nerf
