Mage Guide To World of Warcrafts Squishy Damage Dealers
When it comes to WoW, I reckon mages are one of the most fun classes of all. They feel more quick-paced than for example a hunter, paladin or warrior. You can kill off a lot of mobs at once using your area of effect spells and you can also add lots of value to every raid or PvP party.
Some players look down on mages because they are very powerful but still a real push-over when you get close to them.
In person, I don’t like to weight and compare each of the classes with each other. I reckon of them as specialists like chess pieces. Each class has a purpose and a set of strengths and weaknesses. And depending on the situation at hand a mage is very useful or nearly useless.
Mage Professions
Let’s look at some of the professions that suit a excellent mage:
Mages usually choose Tailoring for their primary profession. The fantastic thing is that all the materials you need are dropped by mobs and since you don’t “have” to make bandages you can use them without buying whatever thing.
As with most other mage guide, my suggestion is, go with Enchanting!
It works really well with Tailoring and you can disenchant items you gather and sell the stuff you get at the Auction House.
Alchemy and Herbalism are also viable professions for a mage, simpler to level up but don’t produce whatever thing you couldn’t buy in the AH. The items you can produce fill up your health and mana so you don’t have to buy foods or drinks.
Mage Builds
Now let’s look at some of the most basic mage builds without going into too much point about how you should spend each talent point.
Hardly anyone focuses completely on Arcane for obvious reasons. Which leaves us with two basic Builds:
Fire Mage – If you’ve read a mage guide before, you know this one’s fantastic for the early stages of the game. You can kill quest mobs quick by sniping them with fire spells. With this erect you don’t have to reckon about a fancy skill rotation, you will always burn through all your mana in no time.
Frost Mage – Frost mages can take on 10 or more mobs real-time. Frost mages have a better mana-efficiency – their spells are cheaper and you don’t use up your mana all at once. Fire mages use up their mana in spikes – when they burst out hurt – while frost mages use their mana more consistently.
There you go.
This is everything you need to know to get started with a Mage Toon in WoW.
Go out and gather some XP, then come back to read a more in-depth WoW mage guide.
