MAGE in WOTLK Classic: YOU GOTTA TRY IT

mage master of frost fire and the arcane mages have new powerful spells to add to their spellbook for each of their three schools of magic they bring powerful utility to any group raid or pvp encounter reliable cc incredible bursts and hey who doesn't want buffs and food mages are a welcome sight to any group mages have command over three talent specializations arcane which is the glass cannon specialization mainly for pve dealing high damage at the cost of high mana fire which received many new talents making it one of the strongest pve specializations in end game wrath and frost the go-to pvp specialization which focuses on slowing snaring and see seeing opponents with ice and dealing incredible amounts of burst with shattering ice combos but the class also received many new baseline spells such as frost firebolt launches a bolt of frostfire at the enemy causing frost fire damage slowing movement speed by 40 percent and causing an additional 60 frost fire damage over nine seconds the spell will be checked against the lower of the target's frost and fire resists which is really cool there's also a new conjurer refreshment of course conjures 20 mana pies providing the mage and his or her allies with something to eat and of course the new portal dalaran creating a portal teleporting group members that use it to dalaran not only are there just new spells but each mage specialization received many changes starting with arcane first of all there's a new one called student of the mind which increases your total spirit by 10 percent there's also focus magic which increases the target's chance to critically hit with spells by three percent when the target critically hits the caster's chance to critically hit with spells increased by three percent for 10 seconds cannot be cast on yourself that is kind of a nice new helpful ability to be used in group and raid settings there's also torment the weak this is a very very notorious new ability for mages or new talent your frostbolt fireball frost firebolt pyroblast arcane missiles arcane blast and arcane barrage abilities deal 12 percent more damage to snared or slow targets this is going to be pretty much all the time whether that's in a pvp or pve scenario uh so it's very very strong new talent granting mages just more raw damage there's also encantor's absorption when your mana shield frost wired firewired or ice barrier absorbs damage your spell damage is increased by 15 of the amount absorbed for 10 seconds this is more of a pvp talent but there's definitely pve scenarios where you're going to be taking damage and those different wards or barriers are going to be absorbing damage for you which is going to be a very nice little spell damage increase there's also arcane flows which reduces the cooldown of your presence of mined arcane power and invisibility spells by thirty percent and the cooldown of your evocation spell by two minutes this is very nice helping to reduce the length of those cooldowns making mages even more powerful there's also missile barrage gives your arcane blast a 40 chance in your arcane barrage fireball frostbolt and frost firebolt spells a 20 chance to reduce the channel duration of the next arcane missile spell by 2.5 seconds reduce the mana cost by 100 and missiles will fire every 0.5 seconds this is a very very powerful new ability basically improving the strength of all of your different barrage spells and also really just buffing up that arcane missile spell netherwind presence is another new talent which increases your spell haste by six percent just a flat haste increase there's also spell power which increases critical strike damage bonus of all spells by 50 this is where arcane mages get their glass cannon uh feel this is just a raw 50 critical strike damage bonus of all spells which is very powerful there's also arcane barrage which is the final spell at the bottom of the arcane tree which launches several missiles at the enemy target causing arcane damage so very powerful new ability making arcane mages do tons and tons of damage now moving on to the fire talent tree changes we have world in flames increases the critical strike chance of your flame strike pyroblast blast wave dragon's breath living bomb blizzard and arcane explosion spells by six percent so obviously having six percent more crit is very powerful to be able to get that from a talent very nice there's also burning determination when interrupted or silenced you have a 100 chance to become immune to the next interrupt or silence mechanic last 20 seconds that's incredible as you can see this is probably more of a pvp talent uh basically when you get silenced you basically can't get silenced again for the next 20 seconds which is very nice there's also fiery payback when below 35 health all damage taken is reduced by 20 percent and your pyroblast spells cast time is reduced by three and a half seconds while the cooldown is increased by five seconds in addition melee and ranged attacks made against you have a 10 chance to disarm your attacker's main hand and ranged weapon this is obviously a very strong pvp ability reducing the damage you take obviously is very nice and then making you able to cast pyroblast faster obviously is a nice sort of i'm low health and i'm gonna i'm gonna get you for getting me low health so very very cool fun talent there there's also another talent called fire starter which causes your damaging blast wave and dragon's breath spells to have a 100 percent chance to make your next flame strike spell instant cast and cost no mana lasting 10 seconds this is very very nice obviously once you cast blast you have a dragon's breath you can instantly cast flame strike which is very very nice of course who doesn't want to instant cast flame strike there's also a notoriously powerful new fire talent called hot streak any time you score two non-periodic spell criticals in a row using fireball fire blast scorch living bomb or frost firebolt you have a 100 chance the next pyroblast cast within 10 seconds will be instant cast this is what makes fire mages essentially one of the best if not the best dps classes in endgame wrath of the lich king because they have enough critical strike rating to pull this off consistently and there will be just so many pyroblasts being cast over and over and over instantly and really just gives fire mages the most absurd dps one of the most absurd dps's in all of wrath of the lich king now another uh interesting fire talent is called burnout which increases your spell critical strike damage bonus with all spells by 50 but your non-periodic spell criticals cost an additional five percent of the spells cost that is going to eat away your mana a little bit there's also living bomb at the bottom of the fire tree the target becomes a living bomb taking fire damage over 12 seconds after 12 seconds or when the spell is dispelled the target explodes dealing fire damage to all enemies within 10 yards which is very very nice aoe fire ability and now last moving on to the frost talent tree changes we have cold as ice which reduces the cooldown of your cold snap ice barrier and summon water elementals by 20 which is a nice little cool down reduction there's also shattered barrier which is kind of cool it actually gives your ice barrier spell a 100 chance to freeze all enemies within 10 yards for eight seconds when it is destroyed this can be of course used in both pve and pvp applications there's also fingers of frost which gives your chill effects a 15 chance to grant you the fingers of frost effect which treats your next two spells cast as if the target were frozen as you know if you are a mage this is very powerful because when your targets are frozen your abilities will deal more damage there's also brain freeze a new talent which causes your frost damage spells with chilling effects to have a 15 chance to cause your next fireball or a frostfire bolt spell to be instant cast and cost no mana so this is a another powerful ability that gives frost mages some additional burst getting that instant cast frost fire bolt or fireball there's also enduring winter which increases the duration of your summon water elemental spell by 15 seconds and your frostfire bolt and your frostbolt spell has a 100 chance to grant up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to one percent of their maximum mana per 5 seconds for 15 seconds cannot occur more than once every 6 seconds this is a nice little raid wide mana regeneration while 10 party or red members a lot of classes actually have this type of effect but it's nice that the mage has it as well there's also another talent called chilled to the bone which increases the damage caused by your frost bolt frost firebolt and ice lance spells by five percent and reduces the movement speed of all chilled targets by an additional 10 even more snare even more damage very strong talent there and then finally at the bottom of the frost tree we have deep freeze sun's the target for five seconds only usable on frozen targets dealing 1500 to 1700 damage to targets permanently immune to stuns deep freeze is a very powerful ability that in pvp that mages use to deal a huge amount of burst damage to shatter combo and essentially just burst their opponent down mages typically are going for the kill when they are using a deep freeze on you now when it comes to pvp frost mages are a force to be reckoned with they have incredible amounts of crowd control in the form of sheep slows snares counter spells and stuns that they can use to control their opponents with ease of course fire also has some very powerful talents as we also just went through powerful team compositions for mage are rmp which is rogue mage priest spell cleaves are actually very powerful and popular in wrath as well overall mages are a core to any party group or raid they bring indispensable buffs utility and damage and in wrath they are one of the strongest dps classes you can pick for both pve and pvp making mage an amazing pick besides their strength in the meta if you love the class fantasy of a spell caster who can command fire ice and the arcane then mage who is second to none in the mastery of these schools of magic might be for you
