In World of Warcraft, you need to choose a class for your character. There are many classes available for your hero. One among the most popular class in World of Warcraft is Mage class. The mage class uses magic for attack or defense. This class is popular because it has a special ability for crowd control which mean you can control or attack several opponents with just one hit. In example, a mage can freeze multiple enemies at once. This is particularly effective for fighting lots of enemies. Mage can also do polymorph which means you can turn an enemy into, usually a sheep thus making them vulnerable.

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.

Mage classes are one of the most versatile classes in World of Warcraft. Below are some tips for you to use if your hero is a mage class hero. This tips will surely make your journey easier.

1. When you are facing a battle situation, always start attacking your opponent with your most powerful spell. But be sure you have enough room to cast the spell. This means you need to be as far as possible from the enemy. Once your first spell hit successfully, and then cast the spell again. Hopefully you are able to kill your opponent with the second spell before the enemy has a chance to hit you.

2. When the enemy is right in front of you and get a chance to hit you, quickly freeze him and get away from him. If there is a second enemy, quickly freeze him too and then polymorph the second enemy into a sheep. Get back to the first enemy and hit him until he dies. And then heal yourself with a potion or cast healing magic before the second enemy change back to his original form. Now you are ready to fight the second enemy since you have healed your health.

3. As I mention before that mage class is weak in physical defense, so I would highly suggest for your hero character to equip yourself with lots of potions. You can buy option in the Auction House. Just look for a good deal for potions and buy it. You can also look for other good deal stuffs at the Auction House. Another important item is elixir. What does it do? Well, elixir will boost your spell power and intellectual. If you already has a strong mage character with powerful spell, when you use elixir, your attack will become more powerful. Elixir can also be bought at the Auction House. If you did not want to buy, then another option to obtain the items is from combining herbalism and alchemy thus you can create your own potion or elixir.

4. When you choose a mage as your class for your character, you will need a staff or wand as its primary weapon. I would suggest for your mage character to use wand as your primary weapon. A wand is more flexible if you need to attack from a distance. A wand also great when your character is low on mana. You can easily freeze the enemy with a wand then hit the opponent with a killing spell or powerful spell.

5. Arcane intellect is very important for a mage. So do not ever forget your arcane intellect. You will need this power to be up all the times along with another power of your choice. And remember to make a good use of your elixir. Elixir can be very helpful.

6. Herbalism is a very good profession for a mage in the World of Warcraft. When you reach a certain high level, your mage character will learn a very crucial skill which is Lifeblood. With Lifeblood, you can restore an amount of health in the middle of a fight. This skill is definitely useful, especially when your stock of potion is low. You can use Lifeblood to replace potion since it will have the same effect and sometimes have a greater effect compare to potion.

7. When the enemy suddenly attacks you, then it is best for you to run away from the enemy. Give your character enough space to cast a spell. Two spells which will be very effective when you are being ambushed are blink and freeze. Blink is a spell for teleporting yourself away from the enemy. When you are quite far from the enemy, then cast spell to attack the enemy. Freeze is also a great spell to use. You can combine using blink and freeze in combat. The two spells will be very effective in combat.

Mage class character in World of Warcraft is indeed a powerful character. Its magic spell can easily defeat enemies. But still it has weaknesses. Use the above tips and I am sure that your journey in Azeroth will be effective and easy. Plus your mage hero will level up quickly.
