A Mage is a great damage dealer who uses mana for his spells. The Mage uses powerful spells like Fire, Frost, and Frostfire Bolts, Arcane missiles that damage a single target but also have a variety of spells that can deal great amounts of damage to multiple enemies.

There is a variety of races one can choose if he wants to build up a mage – Human, Gnome and Draenei race (Alliance) and Blood Elf, Troll and Undead race (Horde). The Mage class is a very nice and playful class and is always welcomed in PvP arena teams and in raid/instance groups. The Mage has several buffs and the most important one is Arcane Brilliance which increases the Intellect of party and raid members.

A mage is also famous for his “consumables”, meaning he can make food & water for his own purposes and for other players as well. Mages “consumables” are able to restore both health and mana at the same time. Another thing mages have is the ability to Polymorph Beasts and Humanoids which is why they are also a need in fights with more than one mob. Even though you will find a lot of easy tank & spank fights these days it is sometimes still nice to crowd control a few mobs.
