Mage Guide: Specs, Talents & Races
Control, efficient spell ranks and movement define the class. Different schools excel at different ranges and types of encounters.
Which Mage spec should you play?
Arcane focuses on spell interactions and Mana use; Fire offers offensive burst; Frost favors slows and control.
Playable races for Mage
Race availability follows the current reference matrix; racial abilities and faction restrictions should be checked before committing a character. Open a race in the interactive reference to compare its abilities.
Getting started
As you level, review your talent row unlocks and choose equipment appropriate to your intended role. Compare dungeon and solo priorities rather than assuming one point allocation serves everything.
Data status
Talent and racial references remain provisional until compared against the release client. No performance rankings are asserted.
