No one can control magic as well as a WoW Mage. Their magical affinity allows them to control both the arcane and the elements to hurl magical death at their enemies, lock their foes down with magical binds, or summon forth relief during respite for their allies. If you’re looking for something that can deal a good bit of damage from afar but isn’t limited to just that than the Mage is for you.

This ranged DPS and utility class focuses mostly on ranged single target and area of effect spells with fire, ice, or arcane magic. They offer high levels of utility (especially at later levels) with their various utility spells like Polymorph which can turn an enemy into a critter removing them from battle. They can also summon food and water, steal the spells of their enemies, lock their enemies’ magical abilities down, and have the option of summoning a temporary pet to aid them in battle. There is a lot more than just hurling fiery death at enemies to explore for the WOW Mage Class.

The WoW Mage is 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 WoW 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. Overall the WoW 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.

The WoW Mage is highly desired in both PvE and PvP play. In PvE the WoW 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 WoW Mage’s fringe on their robes.

In PvP the WOW Mage Class 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.
