WoW Mage Guide

If you're looking for a very in depth and professional Mage Guide check out Killer Guides, they have a pro Mage Guide that covers just about everything in much greater detail than will be covered here.

Mages are mana wielders that deal massive range damage. They have spells like Blink, which allows them to teleport forward and Polymorph, which turns enemies into helpless sheep. Mages also have a wide array of armor spells that do everything from raise resistances and armor to block out damage completely. While mages can’t heal they are a versatile class that is a benefit to every group. They can summon food and drink, immobilize mobs, cast intellect buffs, snare mobs, remove curses, and port to major cities.

How to Level a Mage
Leveling mages can be tricky because they can’t heal and often have very low armor and health. However, the high amounts of damage mages deal make them able to successfully solo. Watch out for mobs that stun and deal huge amounts of damage in one blow and remember to use skills like Blink, Frost Nova, and Polymorph if you pull more than one mob.

The Talent Tree at Level 70
Chances are your final talent build will be nothing like the one you used to level with or thought you would end up with. While leveling up it’s a good idea to pick a build that will make leveling easier and faster and to pick a build specially designed for PvPing or raiding when you are a higher level. When you do reach level 70 think about what role you like to play as a mage. Will you mainly be raiding or PvPing, do you prefer fire spells or frost builds. Mages can be successful no matter which way their talent trees fall, as long as know how to play your mage. For more please check out our Mage Talent Guide

Raid/Instance Effectiveness (PvE)
Mages are a vital part of any raid. They serve a variety of purposes including crowded control and pulling mobs. Mages can save raids from complete wipes by their quick thinking and use of spells like Polymorph and Frost Nova. In fact, simply the high damage and crits mages have can make a raid a success.

Mage PVP Guide
In PvP mages can pwn or get pwned. A good player with decent gear and a talent build they know how to play can easily pwn other players of any class. Mage spells such as Ice Block and Polymorph make PvPing with a mage fun and interesting.
