    The Dresden files is an urban fantasy series of 12 books (so far), about the only wizard in the Chicago phonebook. Harry Dresden is a 'everyman' PI investigating supernatural goings on and foiling evil plots by the skin of his teeth.

     

    Seconded. Haven't had so much fun with a fantasy-series in ages.

     

    Also, can't go wrong with Malazan Book of the Fallen. (Ignore its cheesy name)

     

    Other fantasy books/series I've really enjoyed:

     

    Dune

    A Song of Ice and Fire, and also Fevre Dream by GRRM.

    Anansi Boys, Neverwhere and (especially) American Gods by Neil Gaiman

    The Gentlemen Bastard Sequence by Scott Lynch (First book is called The Lies of Locke Lamora)

    The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss (First book in a new triology)

    The First Law Triology - Joe Abercrombie

     

    Those last three series are pretty much "the new ****" in fantasy.

    I would definately recommend chossing a class from what seems fun rather than which one is supposedly stronger/more balanced/has a larger ****.

     

    Agreed. Also, by the time you'd leveled that supposedly strong class up to 80, it probably wouldn't be among the "strong" classes anymore. My own class, warlock, was one of the best classes in TBC, but in WotLK we've been one of the weakest classes in pvp, it's all about the burst damage now. In TBC I was usually around 1700-1800 rating, now I can't even get over 1500..

    Three Kingdoms...

     

    CURSE YOU DYNASTY WARRIORS FOR BEING BASED ON SUCH A GOOD BOOK!

     

    >.>

     

     

    Great book that. Insanely hard to remember all the names, but every time I read it I discover some new amazing dude who I'd forgotten about. Zhuge Liang ftw. :thumbsup:

    I think the general rule (according to most theorycrafters) is that 1 spell crit = 0,7 spelldmg, so the 40 spell dmg will outweigh the bonuses you'll get from 30 int. Most important of all for raiding-Mages is spell hit though (until you hit the cap), that's why those gloves you got are a bit better than the ones you had. Especially if you enchant them. :)

     

    I'm not really a Mage expert though, just saying what I've read and heard.

    So, my guy picked up the PvP staff the other day. Its so beautiful *wipes tear*. Went with the +30 INT enchant this time instead of the +40 DAM and I cant decide which is better. I suppose the INT is the better bang for the buck by providing three bumps for me; mana, spell crit % and armor while damage is just damage.

     

    I'm pretty sure the 40 spelldmg enchant is (much) better. Never seen any good mages using the 30 int enchant anyway.

     

    Also, I suggest getting a new enchant on your pants. The one you're using now is meant for rogues and other non-caster classes. :)
