Mages are one of the trickiest classes to level fast. The reason why is, that their talent trees differ so much from each other. It depends a lot on your personal, unique playing style if you should go for the fire or the frost leveling spec.
In this fast leveling guide I will show you an easy leveling tactic for WoW mages.
This strategy is actually a composition of three different stages:
Stage One – Fire
When you start out, you don’t have all the Frost talents to use an AoE strategy. To level fast in the beginning, you need as much raw DPS as possible. You kill mobs faster and finish quests faster, too.
Now, the Fire spec is perfect for dealing high DPS to single targets. That makes fire the best choice for the first couple of quests and levels.
Stage Two – Frost
Your next step is to re-spec your talents and aim for an Frost talent build. The perfect moment to switch is when you have all the AoE spells and enough talent points to support them. For really fast WoW leveling, Frost is the way to go now!
Mages are push-overs if an attacker gets into their melee range. This is where frost really adds to your survivability. Ice Block and Frost Nova can be great life-and-time-savers.
Stage Three – Anything Goes
Once you get closer to the endgame, your mage will have all the great skills. At this point, every talent tree can be userd for fast leveling. Now the best way is the talent tree you feel the most comfortable with!
I hope you enjoyed me quick 3-step strategy. The moment to re-spec your talent trees is sometimes hard to figure out, but by now you should “feel” when the time has come to re-spec.
You’ll slow down because of mana problems and handling tough mobs one by one. If you are ready to change your build instead of clinging to one spec all the time, fast leveling becomes a breeze.
Have fun! I know you’ll hit level 80 soon!
