In Warcraft you may either like combat or casting spells more. If magic is your thing then allow me to introduce the Mage in this WoW Mage guide.
The Mage is an excellent spell caster. Their talents at using fire, frost and the arcane are unmatched in Warcraft. What stength they have with their magic, Mages lack when in comes to combat and melee. Mages are limited not only to cloth armor but also, as far as weapons go, daggers, swords, staves and of course wands. But they have an arsenal of spells that allow Mages to destroy their enemies from a safe distance. Mages can use magic to help their allies by creating food and drink for them and they can also travel to other locations instantly through portals. Mages can be played by the Human, Gnome, Undead, Troll, Blood Elf and Draenei races. In following part of the WoW Mage guide I’ll tell you about some of their strengths and weaknesses.

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. 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.
Another strength is that they can avoid taking damage by launching attacks from long range. 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. Also, they’re really horrible at melee, so if melee is part of your play style don’t choose the Mage 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. 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- Allows you to be invisible to your enemies for short distances.
- Water Elemental- Mages can summon a Water Elemental to 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.
