Hello, Today we'll be discussing one of my favorite classes in WoW, the Mage.
Before we start, lets make sure you understand what AOE grinding is:
AOE Grinding - is an effective way to level in a short amount of time. It can be fun when you don't feel like questing, or just to reach a certain level.
Step 1
Get to level 20. this should take 3 to 6 hours depending on your experience with the game. When you reach level 20, spec your talent tree like this:

Step 2
Because AOE grinding can be kind of hard to explain in words, here's a video from my Youtube account. It should answer all your questions about AOE Grinding, but if you have any more questions, leave a comment. There's also a chapter two once you finish everything in the first one.

Also, the Talents in this video are out of date, so follow my spec guide in step 3.
Step 3
the updated spec guide for level 80:

start maxing frost but when there's nothing else in frost I've marked start specing in fire
To wrap things up:
Mages are a fun class to level, so don't base it ALL on AOE grinding, or you'll miss out on a big chunk of the game. AOE grinding is also possible with a Protection Spec'd Paladin, but I like Mages better! Full Force pro AOE grinding, how it pays off:
