Mage PvE Guide - Master of Elemental Magic
Mages are the premier AoE class in Classic WoW, but also have a large array of other spells for single target nuking or even convenience. Mages are even able to make money by selling their services to others using their spells! Most people will tip you for making a portal to
传送门:奥格瑞玛
or
传送门:暴风城
! Not only are you able to help people travel the world, but you can
造水术
and
造食术
. Typically tipping a mage for these services will cost players less money than buying food or water from a vendor (that is usually worse quality).
Classic Mage Races
Because characters take longer to level and gear in Classic WoW, choosing the right race is an important part of character creation. Whether you're looking for the right aesthetics, or trying to decide on the best racial bonuses for a Mage, our guide will help you make the right decision the first time. Remember that race changing didn't exist in Patch 1.12, so your choice is most likely permanent!
Race
德鲁伊
猎人
法师
圣骑士
牧师
潜行者
萨满祭司
术士
战士
矮人
侏儒
人类
暗夜精灵
兽人
牛头人
巨魔
亡灵
Best Horde Mage Race
Mages on Horde side have two options of races to choose from,
亡灵
or
巨魔
. Both of these options are good choices and fill different niches. Undead has 2 more base Int and 4 more base Spirit over Trolls, however, this difference is trivial. As usual, the real difference comes from racial abilities.
The only significant racial Undead has for mage players is
被遗忘者的意志
. This ability is great for PvP, but only applies to a handful of situations in PvE. However, in the situations it applies, it gives you a large advantage over Troll mages. Trolls, on the other hand, have a racial ability that can be applied to any situation where you are casting. This ability is simply known as
狂暴
. There is a common misconception about this ability though. Most times you activate this racial ability, you will be full hp, leaving you with 10% increased cast speed for 10 seconds. This increased cast speed isn't enough for the mage player to gain 1 extra
寒冰箭
or
火球术
, making it not as useful as people believe. On the other hand, when Trolls are able to activate Berserking at lower health the racial gains much more value. Either of these two races are good for Horde mages.
Best Alliance Mage Race
As an Alliance player, you have a much more definitive answer as to what race is best, and that is
侏儒
. Gnomes have 4 Int more and 1 less Spirit when compared to the other option for mages in the Alliance,
人类
. Although this is a minor difference, like for Horde, the true advantage of Gnomes comes within their racials.
Gnomes have a racial passive called
开阔思维
that gives them 5% more intellect. As the player gets more and more gear, this 5% of intellect will not only increase the size of your mana pool but also increase your chance to get a critical hit.
逃命专家
is another Gnome racial ability that can come in handy in PvE from time to time. Humans gain 5% more Spirit with their racial passive
人类精魂
. However, spirit is not a very impactful stat for mages.

Mage Talent Builds
Unlike retail WoW, Classic uses a more traditional talent system consisting of three separate trees, which any Mage may freely spec into. Each tree is themed to a specific specialization and requires points to be invested to progress further, with each capped by a special ability requiring 31 points. With a total of 51 points available at level 60, you could invest all of your points in one tree or spread them across multiple in order to create your own hybrid specialization and playstyle.
In this guide, we'll discuss some of the more powerful and popular builds, which talents you can't live without, and which you can afford to tailor to your preference.
Don't forget to follow along with our
Classic WoW Talent Calculator
, so that you can preview and plan out your build ahead of time.
Arcane Power / Frost (31/0/20)
Arcane Power Frost or "
AP
" is the best Frost DPS Mage build. Not only is this spec extremely mana efficient, being able to combine talent points such as
奥术专注
,
奥术冥想
, and
冰霜导能
, but it also has cooldowns it can utilize to do more damage when needed. The first of these cooldowns is
奥术强化
. Arcane Power is a great ability to use in short fights that last 30-45 seconds, where you need to blow up the target(s).
气定神闲
also can play a big roll in nuking a target or doing AoE. It can be devastating to cast
烈焰风暴
and then use
气定神闲
to instantly cast another Flamestrike, watching the DPS meters soar in AoE situations. To finish things off, all of the mage's frost spells crit harder thanks to
寒冰碎片
.
Winter's Chill (WC) (17/0/34)
Winter's Chill or "
WC
" spec is a lower DPS version of frost mage builds that provides more utility. This spec still has important talents such as
寒冰碎片
and mana regeneration abilities, but miss out on the burst potential that the arcane tree brings. The notable talent that the spec is primarily based around is
深冬之寒
. Classic WoW raiding is all about maximizing your raid's potential damage output and bringing 1 WC mage boosts the DPS of all of the other mages in your raid significantly. WC spec mages do, however, have a much easier time PvPing in their raid spec though compared to AP mages, since WC mages have access to great survivability talents such as
寒冰屏障
and
寒冰护体
.
Fire (12/36/3)
The fire spec is the real deal when it comes to damage. Why you may ask? it does not have any talent that increases critical strike damage like the mage frost build does. It doesn't have
气定神闲
or
奥术强化
like frost either. Why is fire good? Well,
点燃
trumps all of that.
If the mages play properly, the Ignite ability can burn the target for
HUGE
ticks of damage. So much damage in fact, that if you are carrying ignite for any given boss, it is difficult for any DPS class to compare to your damage. Ignite damage, as well as all other fire damage, is then further increased with
强化灼烧
. Moreover, having the ability
冲击波
, alongside
烈焰风暴
ends up being more AoE damage that the
气定神闲
combo you can do in the AP frost spec. These AoE spells are further buffed with the complementary talents in the fire tree making your overall fire spells do more damage/receive critical strikes more often, while also being able to activate Ignite.
Sadly, fire spec is not really used in raiding till Ahn'Qiraj, as most of the enemies in
黑翼之巢
and
熔火之心
have very high resistance to fire.

Essential Mage Consumables for Raid
Consumables are a vital part of Classic WoW, particularly in end-game raiding. With a gigantic pool of potential enhancements, there are multiple different consumables that you can use to improve your performance, as well encounters that rely on specific consumables for success! That means that depending on where your group is heading off, there are different consumables that should be brought, and lots of items to keep up with in Classic WoW.
For more information about consumables, including extensive lists of consumables needed for different raids and encounters, check out our
Classic WoW Consumable Overview
.
For Mages, the essential consumable list looks like this for a single attempt:
超级能量合剂
强效奥法药剂
冰霜之力药剂
强效火力药剂
特效法力药水
有限无敌药水

Classic Mage Professions
Professions are an important part of Classic WoW, offering useful benefits to players dedicated enough to maximize their potential. Whether crafting and enchanting pieces of gear, supplying your own consumables, or utilizing unique gadgets, professions can considerably enhance your gameplay. You can learn more about all professions in our
Classic WoW Professions Overview
.
No matter the class you choose to play, you can learn any profession you'd like. However, some professions give you slight edges over others. The professions PvE Mages want are Engineering and Tailoring. One of the best robes for early progression is crafted by Tailoring:
大法师之袍
but requires the mage to have Tailoring to be able to craft it, as it is BoP. When
祖尔格拉布
is released
大法师之袍
is replaced by using the
血藤
:
血藤护腿
血藤外套
血藤长靴
. This set doesn't require the mage to have Tailoring to wear it, but Tailors receive an extra 2% crit rating from wearing the whole set.
The
血藤
is usually used for classes that lack hit rating, like
术士
s. As a Mage, you have 6% hit rating from
元素精准
and another 2% hit rating if you apply
魔法的视域
, the Zul'Gurub Mage enchant, to both your legs and head slots. Both of these factors allow mage players to drop the
血藤
much sooner when compared to a
术士
, as the Mage gets some hit rating gear from various raids.
Unlike Tailoring, Engineering does not give you any special pieces of gear to craft (other than the occasional
绿色透镜
). Instead, you gain access to handy trinkets like
安全传送器:加基森
, and more importantly, explosives! The most useful of these explosives being
地精工兵炸药
. Goblin Sapper charge can give you a massive boost in damage in heavy AoE situations as it is a high damage, instant ability.

Raiding Playstyle
Spanning six raids and six world bosses, WoW Season of Mastery contains a lot of raid content for players to experience, broken up by a Seasonal release schedule. While all of the content won't be made available immediately on launch, you can prepare for them ahead of time with our WoW Raid Guides. Knowledge is power, and some classes or talent builds perform better in one raid over another, so knowing what you're going to face is key to defeating it!
Here we will cover what do you need to know when facing different challenges in dungeons and raids. It is important to remember that, unlike in retail, not every class has a good answer to every situation, with some even having complex restrictions, due to gameplay limitations like the debuff limit mechanic.
Unlike warlocks, who lack hit rating and threat reduction talents, mages tend to have very consistent damage throughout Classic WoW. However, they have less percent damage multiplier debuffs than warlocks. Meaning, their spells like
寒冰箭
or
火球术
tend to crit for less than a
暗影箭
. Mages make up for this by getting critical strikes very often with a fully stacked or by receiving huge ticks of .
Single Target
Raiding using
deep frost builds
can be pretty simplistic, yet blissful. Once in position, you sit back and start casting
寒冰箭
till the boss is about to die. Right before it dies, if you cannot fit in another
寒冰箭
, the mage can finish the boss with a well-timed
火焰冲击
or even
冰锥术
if you are quick enough!
奥术强化
should be used at times where you need to burn a boss quickly and is paired especially well once the mage has obtained
思维加速宝石
.
As for
fire
single target, you and all of the mages you raid with want to focus starting off any boss fight getting your
强化灼烧
stacks up. Once that is completed, all of the mages can cast
炎爆术
to try to get the best
点燃
possible, then go on to cast . From there, mages have to "rotate" Ignite. Only 1 mage will have Ignite running at any given time, generating more and more threat as the Ignite continues to do damage. Sometimes mages will have to intentionally "drop" Ignite by stop casting, so that they do not over aggro the boss and wipe the raid, allowing another mage to take the reigns.
Multi-Target
As any of the mage specs, your bread and butter high damage AoE spells will be
烈焰风暴
and
魔爆术
, with the exception of
fire spec
also having . Under most AoE circumstances, the mage will want to lead off with a Flamestrike into Blast Wave if fire, otherwise just going straight into Arcane Explosion. However, if you are
frost
, you can fit in a
冰锥术
instead of Arcane Explosion if you feel confident in your ability aim the cone!
Final Thoughts
The Classic WoW Mage is all about using the correct spells at the correct time to maximize your damage. They are serious contenders on damage meters from the beginning of the game all the way till the end of the game and support their raid with plenty of food, water, or portals to travel around the world! Careful though, mages are able to die very easily, so make sure you use your cooldowns and position yourself properly!

ImAlive,
I've been playing mage for nearly 15 years now, this guide is fantastic for mages seeking to jump onto the Classic train.
Very well thought out and written!
Thank you for this guide!

I'm wondering if master of elements procs off of blizzard and do lesser ranked frotbolts or blizzards get resisted more? Does blizzard crit sporadically every second or does the whole channel crit/not crit? Thank you.

This is a great write up. Which build is best for solo PVE (no PVP)?

I would like to point out that Troll Beserking health bracket is every 30%: eg 10% haste 100-70% HP / 20% haste 69-40 HP / 30% haste 39-dead
Further, you fail to realise that 'popping' the troll racial
sets off global cooldown
.
This means 1.5 seconds out of those precious 10 seconds is unusable for anything other than auto attacks.
1.5 seconds on 10 seconds means a
5% casting deficit
at health at or above 70% = USELESS /and/ worse off.
Perhaps you think the 20% haste bracket is worth it? overall net gain of 5% ... almost pointless.
ONLY dropping below 40% health will result in beserking being anywhere near benificial (15% net gain)
IMO Troll racial beserking is so heavily over-rated due to the lack of knowledge that it sets off global cooldown.

You've given a lot of great information but focus on raids. I was hoping for an actual Beginners guide. I need to know what to put points in as I'm leveling, so I can stay alive and do the most damage. I can change Talents later when I can actually specialize. I'm currently level 23 and have never played a mage before. I'm guessing what Talents to choose because there isn't much help out there for new mages. :-(
