Wow Mage

The World Of Warcraft Mage is a popular class. In World of Warcraft, the Mage is a serious damage dealer, who is about as tough as wet toilet tissue. Alright, the Mage isn’t as weak as that, however without a pet and with only cloth armor, the Wow Mage is an attacking damage class. It’s pretty hard for a mage to go solo in particular tight areas such as caves and dungeons. With enough space, soloing critters three levels high or more is no problem for mages.

Wow Mages are awesome to have in a group. With warriors and pets at the front holding off the enemies, the mage can hold back and use his amazing power, destroying the bad guys easily. Just don’t try to go one on one in a melee situation with a sword-slinger. Frost them, run, slammed a fire bolt down their throat, Frost Nova, then run until you can Frost them again. Polymorph a mob if you’re overwhelmed. Repeat! The good mage knows how to frost his enemies, slowing them down, and preventing them from ever getting into melee range.

Without manna, the Wow Mage is useless. Mana is used up by Mages faster than for any other class. In between fights you’ll have to wait as your mana recharges. And when you get to higher levels and are using spells that really suck down mana, this problem only becomes worse.

Regardless of your level or spec, your main priority when building your warcraft mage should be getting a hard hitting main hand weapon for maximum special attack damage and a fast offhand for increased poison application and other proc effects.

A wand can be a good friend to the World Of Warcraft Mage. So can mana potions. Learn to use both to keep yourself as active as possible. The faster you grind (and the less you sit there recharging) the faster you level. The wand provides fast and cost free damage, not only not using mana, but allowing it to recharge. And higher level mana potions will recharge you instantly.
