World of Warcraft Mage Guide / Mage Leveling Guide

This is the World of Warcraft Mage Guide / Mage Leveling Guide you've been waiting for. WHen you start a mage, you're really embarking on a new journey. No other class is like you, and no other class posesses the potential power that you do. Mages though, are extremely squishy, and you're going to have to learn how to manuever your way around different landscapes and terrain in order to level up a mage effectively. Leveling a mage means putting yourself out of harms way at all times, and preferably, NEVER getting hit by your opponenet. I mean, you're in a robe for goodness sake. That's not very much protections!

The best place to solo level up a mage is in a wide open field or place where there is a lot of running room. I say this because you'll need it if you are to win battles without getting hit when leveling up a mage. Start by pulling with Frostbolt, Arcane Missiles, or Pyroblast (depending on your mage talent build), then keep blasting them with those spells until they're in range of Frost Nova, this will freeze them in place. After than, simply run away and start the process over again.

Note: If you're spec'd fire, you'll want to take Blase Wave as it is just like Frost Nova but dazes them. This gives you another utility spells that you'll want to use in the case of them resisted, or popping out of Frost Nova early.

Dragon's breath is another great way to slow your opponent down. It does an incredible amount of damage to the opponent(s) and if you're spec'd right, it'll daze them for a good amount of time.

There are essentially two ways to level up as a mage.

1) Killing one mob at a time

Killing one mob at a time is great because you can be extremely efficient and you don't have to worry about dying much becuase there is little threat that the single mob is going to kill you. Essentially, you just spam Frostbolt, Fireball, or Arcane missiles.

2) AoE Leveling

AoE leveling relies heavily of Frost, you'll want to pull with Improved Blizzard (slowing them down). This allows you to rope up multiple different mobs and slow them ALL down at once. When they get close, Frost Nova, back up and Blizzard again. When they get close, COLD SNAP (refreshing your cooldowns) Frost Nova, then Blizzard again. They should be pretty close to dead at this time.

Good luck leveling your Mage in World of Warcraft!
