Leveling as arcane mage?

[Timonius]

Hello everyone!

I'm leveling a mage at the moment. Is leveling as arcane a good alternative now?
Would love to hear some experiences.

Thank you very much.

I lvl'd 1-60 as arcane and I gotta say its really a breeze, esp in dungeon runs you'll do good dps
Downside ofc is comparing it to frost, the lvling speed isnt anywhere near as fast cause AoE lvling will be more risky
Other than that its definitely worth it! Even still Im 60 and staying arcane

Thank you! I don't really care too much about AOE leveling, so I will give arcane a try. :D

What talents are you running for it? I'm thinking of switching off of frost since I did that in classic and want something different.
