What does spec mean?

Is this the talent menu?

If so, I have done 4 fire talents.

Can I have all the mage spells or do I have to choose 1 of the 3 types?

Thank you.

A spec is what talents you have mainly oriented on. A fire-mage for example has a fire spec.

You can choose any talents you like in your talents once you have reached level 10. It is advised that you go deep in one 'tree' before grinding talents off an other.

Again as an exemple, a fire mage will go deep into a fire tree so he gains many benifits out of using fire spells. Very rarely will he be using frost or arcane spells as his fire spells will have great improvements thanks to his spec.

You can go deep into any spec, it's all question of what you feel comfortable with. If you are leveling up I'd suggest either fire or frost, fire = lots of damage but very vulnerable to attacks, frost = great control and pretty sweet crit combos and mana efficient.

Now i am surprised a little at this thread , i thought everyone understood what spec meant ? .

Spec can also be to do with armour as you can spec as a mage for fire , arcane or frost armour.

Spec is short for Specialise or in the case of this game means to evolve into something far stronger than what you would be otherwise by picking a talent tree and doing all you can to boost those talents .

I am surprised more people do not get confused by all the shortened spell names though as i have every class and sometimes it can take me a long time looking through my spells to figure out the spell being talked about , i guess getting old is no excuse for a bad memory though ?.

Are you an undead? Because I would personally have to be undead to live through all that leveling. HOLY CRAP.

"Spec" is short for "specialization."

If you "spec fire" you simply specialize in fire.
