The Mage is a very popular class in World of Warcraft. However, what most newcomers to the game do not know is that a mage is very difficult to level. Compared to some of the other classes a mage can be frustrating for inexperienced players.
Having said that once you get some levels under your belt this class can be very rewarding and a great deal of fun to play with! The ability to use spells and skill, as opposed to brute strength, makes using a mage a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. The strengths of the class well outweigh the weaknesses and the fact that it can take a long time to level up. However, because this class is difficult to level up, and in order to avoid dying a lot in the beginning, we suggest you use a good wow mage leveling guide to level up and power up quickly! One tip for using a mage is to pick a race that is physically strong because the mage is not great at melee combat relying more on stealth and skill to win a battle. So by picking a race that is fairly strong and good at combat you can combine the two strengths to create a truly formidable character. Getting Started with the Mage ClassWhen it comes to combat the mage can be easily outmatches at lower levels. Your defensive will be weak because you only have cloth armor. As you are not very powerful in the early stages of the game and have very little combat ability at the lower levels you should stay away from outright confrontation.A mage's power comes from distance attacks using spells. If you are using a mage leveling guide then you will get past this awkward time very quickly. If you are not using an in-game guide then try to level up through quests and grinding. Only kill things that have a lower level than, or the same level as, you or you will find yourself dying constantly!
WoW Mage Guide - Professions!Eventually you will want to choose a profession for your character. It is best to pick a profession that works well with the mage class. As the mage works with spells the best professions to choose from are alchemy, enchanting and herbalism.Although you may want to level up by grinding and be tempted to choose blacksmithing, leatherworking or mining as a secondary profession in order to help you in your attack these professions are not suited to your class. Because the mage uses leather armor a very good secondary profession is a tailor. Mage Leveling - The MagicWhen it comes to levelling up your mage you don't want to try to do it through mage grinding!The strength of your class lies in magic so you will want to get as much training as possible. This is one class the should not bypass any training that is available - especially in the early levels. A mage has very little defence as only leather armor is available. Therefore, you should strive to acquire training in spells for protection as soon as possible. A mage can use three types of spells - Arcane, Fire or Frost. When your character is levelled up and powered up these spells are devastating to your enemies and can be used at a distance. You can win a battle before your opponent even gets close enough to hit you! However, until you reach a high level you will want to avoid combat as a mage is weak at PvP until later levels when your magic will be much stronger. You will also want to ration your mana. Mana is extremely important to a mage for health and for attack. WoW Mage Guide - SkillsThe skills of a mage are varied and far-reaching. When it comes to attacking enemies a mage can cause huge amounts of damage at a distance. In fact when you attack anyone or anything make sure you are at a distance - remember you only have leather armor! When enemies get too close you can freeze them with a frost spell which will give you enough time to get to a safe distance to blast them with a more powerful spell.
Fire spells can cause a lot of damage to your enemies and so you will want to power up in this area as quickly as possible. Arcane spells are used for fast travel, where you will eventually have the ability to teleport you and your group huge distances instantly. Your Arcane spells are also used for healing, both yourself and your group members, and to summon food and water for you and your group. A key point to remember - when you cast a spell you use mana so if you summon food or water for you or your group make sure you need it and you use it because you don't get to keep it. Once you log out any excess food or water will disappear! WoW Mage Spec GuideThe spec for a mage varies greatly with your particular playing style. Powering up your character in the three main areas of Fire, Frost and Arcane. How you choose to spend your talent points will greatly depend on your playing style. We suggest you get a levelling guide that gives you a professions guide free (as well as many other extras) so that you can quickly, and with the click of a button, assign your talents to the build that suits your game play and aims!
If you do not want to invest in a levelling guide that will also show you what build is best for you then you will definitely need to use a talent calculator. Mages are notoriously difficult to level up so you do not want to waste your talents on builds that do not suite your style! Using Your MageAlthough the mage is often viewed as a weak class by other players in WoW it can be one of the most powerful classes to play with when you gain some experience and level up. In fact put a high level mage in the hands of an experienced World of Warcraft player and it will be invincible!Although they are not best suited to solo play they are invaluable in group play! Their ability to teleport an entire group, heal themselves and others, summon food and water and cause massive damage and as well as their crowd control ability make them a much sought after class by all groups. Most groups strive to have more than one mage because they are so important! As well as the in-game leveling guides you may wish to consider using the PvP Bible. This guide is an excellent resource for builds that help you in PvP and PvE. Although the mage is not the most suited class for PvP with the PvP bible you can gain an advantage over other players who will view you as being weak and you will probably amaze your group members with your skills!
