Being a powerful casting class, Mage can do tremendous damage as well as control the enemies. Hence, in WoW, Mage is looked upon as one of the best damage dealing classes when you use Arcane, Frost and Fire. Having several great abilities, Mages are famous for doing great Area of Effect (AoE) damage. At the same time, it is capable of controlling players with Polymorph, Frost Nova and the likewise as well as the enemy NPCs.
The flip side of a Mage is that one commonly has low hit points, and his cloth armor fails to help him for his survivability. He does have spells to corner the enemies though or throw off an Ice Block which makes the Mage immune to any damage for a while.
With Arcan intellect, the Mage can select from different magical armors as well as buff himself. Apart from this, the Mage can either cast off Arcane Intellect on his party or even entire raids.
With Arcane Intellect, the mage can not only buff himself, but also select from the various magical armors. Casting off Arcane Intellect on his party, the Mage is capable of having entire raids.
The Mage can also buff himself with Arcane Intellect and has several magical armors he can choose from. He can also cast Arcane Intellect on his party or even entire raids.
Arcane, Frost and Fire are the three talent builds of Mages. You will come across the mages that have pros and cons and mastered any of these talent trees. Now you are the decisive to build whatever you would like. It is advisable that when it comes of making a Mage, try out several builds until you reach the best one and ignore the other’s opinion.
However, I dare to say that the Frost Build is pretty nice to level as it won’t burn your mana away that fast and just to absorb damage, you have various nice abilities like the Water Elemental and Ice barrier. This build occurs in PvP quite frequently and still nice at 80.
Mages have three talent builds namely Arcane, Frost and Fire. You will run into mages that have specialized in any of these talent trees because they all have pros and cons. It is up to your own preferences to whatever build you would like. I would advise you, if you intend to make a Mage, to try out several builds to see what you like best and not just follow anybody else’s opinion. I can tell you though that the Frost Build is quite nice to level because it doesn’t burn your mana away that fast and you have several nice abilities like the Water Elemental and Ice Barrier which absorbs damage. At 80 this build is still nice and can be seen quite often in PvP.
Then there is the Fire build which focuses mainly on single target damage, even though also two AoE spells become available in this tree.
It was never really worth it to go 100% Arcane until the WoTLK arrived. With some new talents and a bigger variety of damaging attacks this build has become a lot better and is now also a great build for PvE and PvP. Arcane is also often used for Hybrid builds (Frost/Arcane, Fire/Arcane).
