m/lock uses warp + weave curse if u dont ur a gimp.
If u wanna be pro mage dont listen to the forums. 99% of the info i read in these forums is miss leading, wrong, or just plain jibber jabber BS.
first step to being a pro mage read ur skills, learn them, us them in proper orders, do not just spam flame like a basketcase mage. Use all give skills to ur advantage main and 2ndary class skills. and think outside the box, following the mass's and how 99% of the ppl play there toons judging by the forums i read. I would never listen to these ppl i would larn my class myself and perfect it by learning how to rotate skills and use them the way there all supposed to be used.
