In Warcraft you may either like combat or casting spells more. If you like magic and want to learn about one of the best spell casters in Warcraft then read this WoW Mage Guide.

Mages are fantastic casters. Their ability to use fire, frost and the arcane forces is unrivaled in Warcraft. Yes, Mages are strong with magic but they lack stength in combat. Mages are limited not only to cloth armor but also, as far as weapons go, daggers, swords, staves and of course wands. However, they do have a ton of spells that can allow the Mage to kill their enemy without getting to close to them. 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. However if the battle isn’t going well then the Mage can do 2 things. First, they can hold back hordes with the use of magic, and second they can escape by using the Frost Nova, Blink or Ice Armor spell.

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. They can travel to other places in the world using portal and transport other players also.

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. Melee is a huge weakness for Mages so if you intend to do much of this choose another class. Lastly, they lack any healing ability what so ever.

Cool Mage Spells:

As a conclusion to the WoW Mage guide I’ll mention some cool spells. These can help them overcome some of their limitations mentioned earlier.

• Mirror Image- This spell makes multiple versions of you appear that can then be used in battle.
• Invisibility- Allows you to be invisible to your enemies for short distances.
• Water Elemental- Water Elementals can be summoned to help fight in battle.
• Ice Block & Ice Barrier- These two spells can go a long way in making up for the Mages lack of armor allowing them to take some damage.
