So is mage really only fun in PvP? And then all PvE content is boring? I'm going on a PvP server, but I'll likely do way more PvE content and I'd like to...ya know have fun with my class with all content.

Through most of classic, im sorry to say mage pve is insanely boring. They for sure stand out as one of the most active and twitch based classes in the game but in raid content and 5 mans your looking at hitting a few buttons on repeat. you dont even have the luxury of bouncing and spazzing around like melee dps do to spice it up. And when your not in combat you'll be conjuring food and water. If you want balanced fun in both types of content mage might not be for you

Well shit. What would you recommend that's just as good as mage but fun in both scenarios?

rogue and warrior have the most interactive rotations in both game modes. hell even feral druids are fun in pve. all of the ranged casty boi options tend to be boring sadly
