In Warcraft you may either like combat or casting spells more. If you’re a player who prefers magic over weapons, then let me introduce to you in this WoW Mage Guide, the Mage class.
The Mage is an excellent spell caster. They have an unmatched ability to use the magical forces of fire, frost and the arcane. The strengths the Mage has with magic is lacking in physical combat. In fact rather than being well armed and armored, they only have cloth armor and their weapons are limited to wands, staves, daggers and swords. 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. Firstly, they can hold off enemies with magic and secondly they’re masters of escape with their Frost Nova, Blink and Ice Armor spells.
As I mentioned earlier, another one of their strengths is that they can fight from a distance and therefore avoid, in many cases, taking damage. 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. Also, they’re really horrible at melee, so if melee is part of your play style don’t choose the Mage class. Last but not least, for all their magical strengths they don’t have any real healing ability.
Cool Mage Spells:
As a conclusion to the WoW Mage guide I’ll mention some cool spells. Some of which can make up somewhat for the weaknesses I mentioned earlier.
• Mirror Image- This spell makes multiple versions of you appear that can then be used in battle.
• Invisibility- This one allows you to become invisible for a short distance.
• Water Elemental- Mages can summon a Water Elemental to fight in battle.
• Ice Block and Ice Barrier- These spells can really be handy since they allow the mage to take some damage.
