World of Warcraft Mage Guide

October 25, 2009 · Filed Under Video Games 

In WoW, you may find that you prefer either combat or being a spell caster. If you like magic and want to learn about one of the best spell casters in Warcraft then read this WoW Mage Guide.

The Mage is an excellent spell caster. Their ability to use fire, frost and the arcane forces is unrivaled in Warcraft. Yes, Mages are strong with magic but they lack stength in combat. Mages are not well armored or weaponized, in fact they only wear cloth and weild wands, daggers, swords, and staves. But they have an arsenal of spells that allow Mages to destroy their enemies from a safe distance. Other interesting things their magic will allow them is create food and drink from thin air in order to restore their allies and friends and even use portals to travel to distant places instantly. Mages can be played by the Human, Gnome, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf and Draenei races. Now let’s turn our attention in the WoW Mage guide to the strengths and weakness of this class.

Mage Strengths:

One of the major strengths of Mages is that they can use spells to inflict major damage to single and even multiple targets. But, if it’s a losing battle, Mages have two more tricks up their sleeve. First, they can hold back groups of enemies with spell, and then escape using spells such as the Frost Nova, Blink or Ice Armor spells.

Another strength is that they can avoid taking damage by launching attacks from long range. Also as I mentioned they can travel through portals and even transport other players this way.

Mage Weaknesses:

The Mages lack of armor is the source of one major weakness of this class, making it difficult for them to survive much damage. They are not very good for melee at all so don’t choose the Mage class if you want to melee. Finally, they are great at magic but don’t have any spells that will heal them.

Cool Mage Spells:

As a conclusion to the WoW Mage guide I’ll mention some cool spells. These can help them overcome some of their limitations mentioned earlier.

  • Mirror Image- This will created duplicates of you that can then fight in battle.
  • Invisibility- Makes you invisible, but only for a short distance.
  • Water Elemental- Mages are able to summon Water Elementals to help them fight in battle.
  • Ice Block & Ice Barrier- These two spells can go a long way in making up for the Mages lack of armor allowing them to take some damage.
