Mage

WoW: Forever · Class

Mage

Magi are wizards of immense knowledge and skill. Their obvious physical frailty is deceptive, for they can call upon the cosmic energies of the Twisting Nether. Rarely do magi engage in melee combat. Instead, they prefer to attack from a distance, hurling powerful bolts of frost and flame at their unsuspecting enemies.

Tips

  • Conjure Water and Conjure Food spare you buying supplies and can be shared, but they vanish if you stay logged out for more than 15 minutes.
  • Polymorph removes one enemy from the fight for a while, but it recovers health fast in that form, so deal with the others and return to it last.
  • Blink carries you 20 yards forward and frees you from stuns and roots, so it works both as an escape and as a quick change of position.
  • Evocation refills mana quickly while you channel it, so find a safe moment for the 8 seconds it takes.
  • Ice Block shields you from attacks and spells for 10 seconds, but you cannot act inside it, so treat it as time for help to arrive.
