Mage Talent Guide

The Mage class has quite a few good talents and a few notoriously bad ones. The aim of this guide is to help you create your own build and not have to rely on a cookie cutter build. It’s been proven that some of the best competitive players will constantly respect their talents and fine tune them to perfection. You can too with a little understanding of each talent.

The following tables are formatted by tier and tell what each Talent does in simple terms along with when and if it is useful. Bolded “Highly Recommended” tags mean talents that are generally staples of every build while “Not Recommended” tags are for Talents are generally a waste of points.

This guide works in two different ways. For newer players it is suggested that you read this guide in its entirety or at least to where you are in the game. Experienced players can reference this guide for specific skills by using the table of contents below.

This guide is currently a work in progress, keep watching for updates.

Mists of Pandaria -- Pandaren Monk Striking Target Dummy

There have been many rumblings from Blizzard fans that don't really want Mists of Pandaria as the next (or any expansion) and ask the question "Why Mop?"

Mists of Pandaria's launch could happen by the end of the year so what better time to look at what the Collector's Edition could contain?
