Perhaps you are new to World of Warcraft, or are a seasoned vet that would like to play an alternative character, either way, you should consider a Mage. As one of World of Warcrafts caster classes, Mages can be very advantageous characters to play. Delve into the Mage class to see if it interests you.
Initally, it should be noted that Mages are a vulnerable class. Unlike Priests, they do not have to ability to heal themselves, nor do they have tanking companions like Warlocks. Therefore, they are considered to be some of the most fragile of the classes in cloth attire.
Mages make up for their shortcomings in healing powers and tanks with the ability to inflict serious damage from a distance. For this reason, Mages are often referred to as “the glass cannons”. When fighting as a Mage, you will be able to defeat your adversaries from a nearly unreachable distance, but you must take care to ensure that your enemy does not advance close enough to hurt you! If this does happen, you can use Blink to get yourself out of your adversary’s range instantly.
It is worth noting that, especially for Mages, you can advance in the game considerably quicker if you are part of a group. In the beginning, Mages are helpful with their Polymorph spells and also good with DPS, so they are advantageous characters to have in a group. As you begin to level up and advance through the game, Mages will start to focus on things like making food for the group, and casting away negative effects.
Mages are only able to get cloth armor, so when you are shopping for gear for your Mage character you should focus on getting armor with the most beneficial bonuses. For Mages, bonuses you should look for in your gear would be ones that add to your spell power or intellect and stamina ratings. Remember these tips when shopping for your Mage character, as they will increase your chances for survival. Something else to consider that can help your Mage survive in WoW are the professions that Mages have to choose from. Enchanting can increase the effectiveness of the items in your inventory, and Tailoring helps you create cloth armor. Do not forget, however, you will be able to brew healing potions, not to mention Lifeblood, by choosing Herbalism as your profession in World of Warcraft.
You should weigh all of these factors when considering if you want to play as a Mage in World of Warcraft. The final, and most important, tip for surviving in World of Warcraft, is to find an Alliance leveling guide, because it can help tremendously in the game and increase your chances of survival and success.
