In the last news, we have posted that Hunter guide, did you like that? If so, here and later we will post others classes to show you all the classes flavor, weaknesses, pets, PvP or something others. Now it is the turn on Mage.

Do you like Mage? Mage is a very fun and exciting class with a lot of flexibility that really shines to someone who likes to fight from a distance. It's much like the proverbial glass cannon. They have some of the highest damage output in the game and contain many necessary abilities that high level raiding absolutely needs. If anything needs to be AoE'd down then a Mage is the one you'd want to call. To balance this out they have little defense like the rest of the casters. They're restricted to cloth armor only and rely on their magic to beef up their defense and help them gain distance. Not only that, but their damage is restricted to a resource known as mana which means they need mana in order to do damage, defend themselves, and provide the much needed utility that groups need.

What's the Mage weaknesses? Very low defense, relies on magical abilities and distance to protect them. Mana dependent. Without mana the Mage is incapable of doing anything. Certain debuffs that lower casting speed or apply a silence affect can hinder a Mage severely. Can be slow to level. Do you think so?

Mages utilize a large toolbox of options in order to destroy their enemies and aid their allies. The abilities are split up into three categories: direct damage, area of effect, and utility. Direct damage is comprised mainly of burst damage spells like Fireball, Frostbolt, and Arcane Missiles. Area of Affect includes Arcane Explosion, Blizzard, and Frost Nova. Finally, utility includes Polymorph, Spellsteal, Counterspell, and Summon Food and Water. The most prominent direct damage abilities that they have is their main damage spells, Fireball and Frostbolt. These two abilities are the primary source of damage and provide additional affects such as a DoT with Fireball and a snare with Frostbolt.

At higher levels they can get Frostfire Bolt which allows them to mix the elements into one attack. Blizzard often claims their specialty is within the area of effect damage spells and Mages are loaded with them. You have Arcane Explosion which is an instant PBAoE ability (damages around the caster), Frost Nova which roots all enemies around the Mage, Blizzard which is a ground targeted channeled AoE ability, and Flamestrike which is like Frost Nova but does massive damage and only snares.

The Mage is highly desired in both PvE and PvP play. In PvE the Mage supplies many highly needed crowd control abilities that no other class has access too along with a very high amount of damage. Even solo they're a powerful force being able to often slay their enemies before even reaching the Mage's fringe on their robes. In PvP the Mage offers the greatest asset of all which is crowd control. Many Arena games are decided by how fast Mages can get their Polymorph spells off and in the battlegrounds you won't find a better source of AoE damage than the Mage. They do have issues with defense, but with abilities like Frost Nova, Cone of Cold, Ice Block, and Blink they're able to escape many situations unscathed.

Good luck and happy in your Mage.
