Looking for a mage leveling build for Cataclysm?

Well a frost mage leveling build is without a doubt the best for leveling a toon in the shortest amount of time possible.

What most players fail to realize is that simply having a level 85 frost mage leveling build is not exactly what you want to be looking for while trying to level a frost mage in World of Warcraft.

The number 1 key is how you assign your talent points as you are getting them while leveling. Assigning points in the wrong order can actually hurt leveling more than it helps. Most places that offer and type of mage leveling build do not show a player the best way to assign those points as you start getting them.

This is why most of the best in game WoW leveling guide addons have added in a function that allows players to easily create the most effective leveling builds by assigning the points to critical talents you will want to have at lower levels.

This video shows how ZygorsQuestHelper.com users can select the best mage leveling build and be shown right on the talent tree how to assign each of your points as you level.
