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. Always cast your most powerful spell when given the chance. But since casting a powerful spell will need sometimes, it is better if your distance with the opponent quite far. Do not bother to cast a weak spell. When the first spell successfully hits your enemy, then start a new powerful spell casting right away. Hopefully you can hit your enemy with two spells and kill him, before the enemy reaches you to strike a blow.

2. If you are in a close range combat and the enemy has already strike a successful blow to you, immediately freeze your enemy and then run away from him. If there is a another enemy, freeze him too and cast polymorph spell to turn the second enemy into a sheep. Then you hit the first opponent until he dies. Immediately heal yourself before the effect of polymorph spell on the second enemy wears off. Now you are in full health, or at least having more health and ready to strike the second opponent.

3. The greatest weakness of mage class is in physical defense. So it will be very wise if you equip with lots of potion. Potion is needed to restore your lost HP due to fighting. The Auction House is a place where you can easily buy potion with a great price. But you need to look around for potion with a good deal. Elixir is also another thing you need to equip. Elixir will increase your spell power and intellectual. Elixir can also be easily bought at the Auction House. If you did not want to buy potion or elixir, you still have another option which is creating the item yourself. You just need to combine alchemy with herbalism and create potion or elixir on your own.

4. A mage weapon is a staff or a wand. I would suggest for you to get a wand. Why? Because a wand is more flexible and handier when you need to attack from a distance. A wand also great when your character is low on mana. With a wand, you can easily freeze the enemy and then back up a little bit while you shoot the enemy with a spell or just regular attack.

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. 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. If you are being ambushed by the enemies, try your best to run away from the opponents. As I mentioned before, mage is weak in defense. Use blink to move away from the enemy. In case you did not know, blink is a spell for teleporting your character in a short distance, just to give enough space from the enemy. Other than blink, freeze is also a good spell. Use the combination of this two spells in combat and hopefully you will be able to win the fight.

Above tips will be very useful for your quest in Azeroth. A mage class character is powerful in medium and long range combat but weak in close range combat. So above tips will be very effective to win combats and making your character to level up quickly.
