AoE Grinding Guide with Priest and Mage:
Priest: Shield up mage.
Mage: Runs in till he has 3 on him.
Mage: Cast 1x iAE.
Priest: Cast Psychic Scream right after the iAE.
*Now those 3 will go collecting mobs for you too and they will all go after the
mage since he build up more aggro with the feared ones.*
Mage: Collects some more mobs till the feared ones come back..
If the spot is right you got about 12-20 mobs on you now.
Now the easiest part just iAE them till they are death (or if they flee cast a
frost nova when the first one starts running), while the priest spams flash
heals on the mage..
If you got some uncommon armor around your level you should end up with about
1/8 bar of mana left and the priest with around 1/2 bar of mana left..
Once in a while you got some additional aggro just after the fight.. If you have
Evocation.. Let the priest fear them.. Mage uses Evocation.. Wait till the
feared ones brings some friends and finish them off the normal way..
We noth got to 40 today easily this way (4days 8houres played in which we both
leveled up 2 crafting trades to 225 too).

used to if first and you will proberbly die a few times in start)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AoE Grinding Guide with Frost Mage:
Frost Talents (13 points)
Permafrost - 5/5 points
Increases the duration of your chill effects by 3 seconds.
Winter's Chill - 3/3 points
Increases the power of your chill effects by slowing the target's movement by an
additional 10%.
Improved Frost Nova - 2/2 points
Reduces the cooldown of your Frost Nova spell by 4 seconds.
Improved Blizzard - 3/3 points
Adds a chill effect to your Blizzard spell. This effect lowers the target's
movement speed to 35% of normal. Lasts 1.50 seconds.
So as soon as you get CoC
Collect 8 or so mobs - FN run back 2 blizz lenghts - blizz blizz - coc - fn -
blizz collect loot.
Do it right and you can kill as many mobs as you can collect.
tried IAE AoEing and you cannot seem to kill as many same lvl mobs as you can
with frost.
Frost does require a bit more room to move in and planning for route.
respecced at lvl 30 and since never got IAE and havnt missed it either (apart
from WSG PvP).

AoE Grinding Guide with Fire Mage:
Lowbie fire mage
This is a bit harder with fire mage i would say since you only have Flamestrike
as AoE spell.
Shield yourself, go get the mobs you want then:
FN - CoC (if you got it) - run to safe spot as far away as you can cast
flamestrike - flamestrike - if you are luckey, flamestrike again - FN - CoC -
run - flamestrike.

Grinding with Combustion + Blastwave:
1. Combustion + Flamestrike
2. FS at your own feet.
3. Blastwave + Cone of Cold (before NOVAing)
4. Frost Nova, walk backwards.
5. FS again over the frozen mobs.
6. (If there is any mob still alive) If you're a troll, don't forget to berserk
at this point (increases cast speed by 10%). Then use Arcane Explosion.
7. just to make sure, push "tab" to change your target and cast a fire blast. If
there is one mob alive, it will go down for sure. By now your CoC should also be
recharged so there's nothing to fear.

Grinding with PoM + Blastwave:
Collect mobs on mount,
dismount
frost nova, run back a bit to make room
flamestrike
Pom + then a 2nd flamestrike
blastwave,
whilst walking backwards - cone of cold
arcane explosion to finish.

FN - CoC - run around the mobs as close as you can get without getting hit while
useing IAE at all time - FN - CoC - run around them with IAE.
