WOW Mage Talent Guide
December 30th, 2009
Comments off
Talent tree selection is of great importance to all Mages. Where you allocate your points has a great deal of influence on how well your Mage will perform in both PVE and PVP. Redoing talents can get costly, so spending some time doing research will be worthwhile, allowing you to build your mage correctly from the start. In this Mage Talent Guide, we will look at some of the most common mage builds.
Most Mages should choose a tree to specialize in, along with a secondary tree to put some extra points into. It’s usually not a good idea to spread out your points over different talent trees, and this is especially true for mages. In almost every case, the smart choice is to select a tree to focus on from the outset, and make sure you put the majority of your points in the chosen tree.
1. The Frost Mage
This is probably the most popular build for Mages, with good reason. The frost mage is a formidable build, with the ability to function with less mana burn, coupled with some nice mob-controlling abilities.
Some key frost mage talents are listed below.
- Improved Frost Bolt - Frost bolt will be one of your main weapons, so max this out early.
- Icy Shards and Shatter - Anything that increases your damange or critical strike chances is a good thing, and these two talents are ones you should not go without.
- Arctic Reach - This will make your frost novas more effective by increasing the range.
- Ice Floes
- Frost Channeling - This will minimize your downtime.
- Any 1-point Talent - Icy Veins and Cold Snap are two 1-point talents you should get early on.
2. The Fire Mage
Fire Mages are also popular, especially at lower levels since the DPS is high. However, you should also expect greater downtime since your mana burn rate will be quite high.
Here are some important Fire Mage talents.
- Incineration
- Improved Fire Blast - This will help you take down enemies faster by reducing cool down time.
- Critical Mass
- Pyromaniac
- Burnout
- Ignite
- Any 1-point Talent
3. The Arcane Mage
Very few players will specialize in the arcane tree. In general, your talent points will serve you better if you use them for the frost or fire tree, so unless you are looking for a special challenge, picking the arcane tree to specialize in would not be a good idea.
