Warcraft Mages

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. Ok, the Mage isn't that weak, but with no Pet and wearing cloth armor, the Mage is an offensive damage machine. In tight areas (like Dungeons and caves) it is tough to solo a mage. With breathing room, a mage can easily solo critters 3 levels higher or more.

Warcraft Mages are great in groups. With warriors and pets up front holding off the mobs or other baddies, the mage can sit back and unleash amazing power, steamrolling through the baddies with ease. 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. Mages burn through mana quicker than any other character. 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.
