If you have played World of Warcraft, then you must now the classes. One of the most famous classes in World of Warcraft is the mage class. As it name applies, the mage class uses magic to cause much damage to your enemies. Mage also known for their special abilities of crowd control. Mage can freeze enemies in one place all at once. This should be very effective when fighting lots of enemies. Mage can also polymorph the enemy into a sheep and make them a weak opponent.

Although a mage is one of the most famous classes in World of Warcraft, it still has its own weaknesses. Mage is very effective for medium or long range combat. But if they are force to fight in close range combat, a mage is more likely to lose the battle. Mage also weak in physical defense. It is better to stay far away from an opponent. Magic attack is very powerful but need sometimes to cast a spell. If you are fighting in a wide open area, you will have more time to cast a spell since your enemy is also far from you. Wide open area also gives a mage enough spaces to run around avoiding physical attacks.

In World of Warcraft, mage classes are one of the most versatile classes. Here some tips to use if you choose your character to be a mage. This tips will make your adventure easier.

1. When you go into battle with an opponent, start casting your most powerful spell when given the chance. Do not use your weak spell. Just be sure you have enough space to cast the spell since casting a spell will take sometimes until the spell is ready. If the first spell successfully hit your opponent, immediately cast another spell. Hopefully you will be able to kill the enemy after your second spell, just before the enemy has a chance to strike you.

2. If you find yourself already in a close range combat and your opponent has successfully strike the first blow, then quickly freeze him and get away as far as you can. If there is another opponent, then quickly freeze him too plus use polymorph spell to turn the second opponent into a sheep. After that, hit the first opponent until he dies. You can use magic spell to kill the first opponent. Heal yourself afterward and hopefully the second opponent is still in sheep form so you can easily kill him. Or at least when you are fighting the second opponent, you are now in much better health level.

3. Since mage class is weak in physical defense, I suggest you to equip your character with lots of potion. Find or buy as many as potions you can have. The Auction House is one place you can buy potions and you can a good deal for potion and other stuff too. Beside potions, you may want to consider equipping elixir. Elixir has the effect for increasing your spell power and intellectual. Elixir can also be bought at the Auction House. Or another option besides buying is to combine herbalism with alchemy and create your own potion or elixir.

4. Every classes will have their own primary weapon. For a mage class character, your primary weapon will be a staff or wand. Wand is handier and more flexible to use. And I would suggest you to choose using a wand rather than a staff. A wand also great when your character is low on mana. It is easy for you to freeze your enemy using a wand and then you can freely hit your enemy with powerful spell or just a normal attack.

5. Do not forget about arcane intellect. Arcane intellect is very important for a mage class character. You will want this power to be up all the times along with another power of your choice. And do remember to make a good use of your elixir since it will greatly help you in winning the battle.

6. In the World of Warcraft, herbalism is a very good profession for a mage class character. When your characters level is high enough, your mage character can learn a very important skill which is Lifeblood. What is Lifeblood? Well, it is basically a powerful spell, not an attacking spell, but for healing or restoring your health in the middle of a battle. When you mastered this very useful spell, your journey will be a lot easier since now you have another option beside potion to restore your health.

7. When you are being ambushed by the enemies, I would suggest for you to run away first. Make some space between you and your opponent since mage is weak in close range combat. One spell which will be very effective for making space is blink. Blink will teleport your character away from the enemy. When you are quite distanced, you can cast spell to attack. Another effective spell when you are to close with the enemy is freeze. You can use the combination of the two spells to win your combat.

Follow the above tips in your quest in Azeroth as a mage class character and I assure you that your journey will be much easier. Whether you aim to be an arcane, frost or fire mage in World of Warcraft, those tips will help you to level up quickly and easily.
