The Mage class is a class that focuses purely on the magical arts. From throwing fireballs, freezing their enemies in their tracks, or taping into the arcane powers the Mage class prevails when it comes to the non-demon magical arts. They can even summon their own food and water!

Anyone who likes to don a robe and wizard’s hat may find the Mage class to be the most attractive. They, like all cloth wearers, have some of the lowest defense in the game. They can magically enhance it, similar to Warlocks, but that doesn’t mean they can tank many enemies.

If you are seeking information on the magical Mage class, then you’ve found the right place! Our Mage guide contains all the information you need, from talent builds to the best professions. Should our Mage class guide not answer a question, we have our very own Mage forums to assist you. You can even submit your own content for this guide by emailing us!

Blizzard's Official Mage Description

The official word on Mages!

The Mages of Warcraft once centered their powers within the mageocracy of Dalaran. After that kingdom's destruction by the Burning Legion the arcane arts spread to the far corners of the world. The Mage is a very important and helpful party member. One of the Mage's most powerful abilities is Polymorph, which allows it to control the number of monsters currently attacking the party. The mage is also able to use a teleportation spell, allowing it to travel through the land more quickly. Mages can even summon in food and drink to help everyone recover faster from battle.
