A friend of mine plans to join me on Tich, and he's very keen on the whole mage AOE thing, so he wants me to make a character to play with him. Thing is, which class would be good? Priest is out since I already made one (don't want to replay it), same goes for Warrior and Rogue. I'm looking at either another Mage or a Warlock (the latter mainly for the "cool" factor ^_^)
If I were to play a Mage, what would the most effective combination be for AOE damage, assuming we solo together? Dual Ice? Dual Fire? One of each? Arcane? Dual Ice seems to be the best bet since we'll have excellent CC to make up for the lack of a priest, but I'm not certain if ice effects from one mage help the other.
Warlock would be nice to make but I'm not sure how it would really help Mage AOE since Helllfire hurts the caster, RoF isn't so good and the rest of the spells are single target aggro...
