Mage Class Overview

Find our new guides for Mage in WoW Classic Season of Discovery below! The new game mode will have players find and utilize Runes that can then be engraved onto their gear to provide them special bonuses that augment already existing abilities or allow the class to use entirely new spells.

With the introduction of new Runes in Season of Discovery, not only will old builds be increased in power, but Mage now has the option of being played as a Healer.

Mages have three talent specializations: Arcane, Fire, and Frost.

• Arcane — This specialization focuses not only on your damaging Arcane spells, but also on the utility of a Mage, helping to manage your Mana, shields and resistances.
• Fire — This specialization focuses on the destructive aspect of a Mage, with talents leaning towards buffing your Fire spells and damage.
• Frost — This specialization focuses on slowing enemies and freezing them while they are forced to withstand an assault of Frost damage.

The primary resource used by Mages is Mana in all specializations.

Mages can be played as Humans and Gnomes for the Alliance and Undead and Trolls for the Horde in Classic.

Mages are only able to wear Cloth armour.

Mages are able to use Daggers, Swords, Staves, and Wands.
