power leveling wow guide- mage leveling guide.

As a mage you have some great advantages power leveling wowguide while leveling. Of course, many classes have their pros and cons but a mage is great to level because he can make his own food and water, teleport to cities from one to another continent and is able to blink which also reduces run time.

As for the best leveling build, the opinions are divided. Some would swear with the frost build because it is more manna efficient. I however, would go for a fire/arcane build for the simple reason that you take down the enemies faster and the arcane tree will provide you with manna regeneration and more stats.

Let’s first have a look at the full fire talent tree through.

Megaleveling build: fire- as a fire mage you can start attacking with either a fireball or hypoblast, shoot a 2^nd fireball and then a fire blast. If the target isn’t dead yet you just frost nova, take a step back and make another fireball fire blast combo.

Blast wave and dragon breath will also become available at a later level and they can do the finishing touches as well. Now why I didn’t take improved scorch until you get the hot streak talent. Molten shields, fiery payback and blazing speed are not necessary for leveling purposes.

I did choose impact; I know many mages skip this one because it’s nice for leveling. If you manage to use three of four fire based spells before the mob reaches you, you have a 30-40% chance to stun the mob for two seconds before he even reaches you.

I took a bit of frost because of the reduced manna cost of both frost and fire spells through the talent called precision. Another option, and my favorite, is to go for arcane fire which is a nice combination.

Mageleveling build: fire/arcane

This build has a manna preserving advantage because 60% of the regeneration continues while casting. You will also be surprised with the amount of critical hits you will get with this build which also refund 30% of the spells costs.

You will also have 10% more spirit and 15% more intellect. Arcane concentration will allow about 10% of your spells to be cast free of costs. This build will not give you AOE spells like blast, wave and dragon breath but will be mainly focused on fireballs, hypoblasts and fire blasts.

Your arcane explosion will be boosted a bit so that is good choice for AOE purposes. Presence of mind and arcane power will give you extra great abilities that will cause high burst damage when needed.

You can choose to go full frost but especially in the first 30 levels you will be a lot worse off than the builds stated above. Shatter then becomes nice, and later you got icy veins, water elemental, cold snap etc, but the damage output of this build isn’t as high as compared to the ones above.

Mage-magicis what they do best- a mage is a powerful casting class capable to do immense amounts of damage and control the enemies. While using arcane, fire and frost a mage is definitely one of the best damage dealing classes in wow.

Mages are known to do great area of effect damage with several great abilities and be able to control both enemy NPC and players with polymorph, frost nova and the like. The downside of a mage is that one usually has low hit points and his cloth armor doesn’t help with his survivability.

He does have spells to keep enemies at bay thought or to cast an ice block which makes the mage immune to any damage for a period of time. A mage is incapable to heal or tank so damage dealing is his main purpose.

The mage does have other abilities that make him wanted in many groups and PVP teams. Like said before, the polymorph ability is great to control mobs because it turns a humanoid or beast enemy NPC or player into a sheep, turtle or pig.

A mage can also teleport to other cities and even make portals so others can benefit from his ability. Another reason why a mage is always welcome in a group is his ability to conjure food and water which is especially welcomed by healers that otherwise would have to buy their manna drinks.

These abilities also come in very handy while leveling. Being able to teleport will save a lot of time on the long run and making food and drinks whenever once pleases is also a time and money saver. The mage can also buff him with arcane intellect and has several magical armors he can choose from.

He can also cast arcane intellect on his party or even entire raids. One thing that is nice to know is that dalaran, the capital of north rend, is a mage city.   The Kirin tor is a faction of mages and all the mage players start with friendly reputation towards this faction.

The mage class can be played by gnomes, draenei, humans, trolls, blood elves and undead players. Mages have three talent builds namely arcane, frost and fire. You will run into mages that have specialized in any of these talent trees because they all have pros and cons.

It is up to your preferences to whatever build you would like. I would advise you, if you intend to make a mage, to try out several builds to see what you like best and not just follow anybody else’s opinions.

 I can tell you though that the frost build is quite nice to level because it doesn’t burn your manna away that fast and you have several nice abilities like the water elemental and ice barrier which absorbs damage. At 80 this build is still nice and can be seen quite often in PVP.

Then there is the fire build which focuses mainly on single target damage, even though also tow AOE spells become available in this tree. It was never really worth to go 100% arcane until the WOTLK arrived. With some new power leveling wow guide talents and a bigger variety of damaging attacks this build has become a lot better and is now also a great build for PVE and PVP. Arcane is also often used for hybrid build like frost/arcane, fire /arcane.
