Why play Mage?

Why do you play a mage?
Are you proud to be a mage? As for me; I've been playing a mage for over half a decade, and in comparison to all the other classes I've played, it just doesn't come close to me. What can be more fun than being a glass cannon? It's risky, tactical yet if done right effective playwork. Talking mostly in a PvP sense here. In other words; we're a pure class, designed solely to blow things up, control large groups at once, manipulate the very fibre of the world around us - masters of the arcane is what we are. Don't be shy, let the forums know! Proud to be a mage & never gonna reroll class. Ever! -Thom |

Because i'm a fotm reroller, if it gets to the point where I can't handle having more than a few buttons then i can roll fire, which is only one small step down but only requires one key binding to be effective.

I played druid at first (feral), and then fell in love in mage. I have rogue, dk, druid and 2 mages. :) I just love then and can't imagine myself playing any other class as my main.

I have a Mage alt that I really do enjoy, and if I am going to be complete honest they're not so OP as everyone tend to imagine them. For example, in PvE Mages don't do any OP damage, I can do the same numbers on "equally" geared Warlock / DK.
And for PvP, mainly arenas. I don't see Mages so OP, it's more their good synergy with Rogues that makes them good. Specially when Rouges are gods at the moment. Okay, Fire mages in PvP are quite insane sometimes, but if you think as of Frost Mages, they either CC or do damage, they can't do the both at the same time. But since Rogues for example are so insane at instant CC's making Frost Mages not needed to tunnel vision CC's, and they will be able to throw a complete shatter on their target without any interrupt. Same thing works with FMP. But of course, Mages have never really been in the spot of a S11 Warrior, Mages have always been good for both PvE and PvP which have made them been seen as OP. |

Mages are too mainstream, the true power comes with rets who can a clue about the class.
In fact, MoP brings more utilities for rets (such as WoG wihout CD and sacred shield of old version). Pre-patch is gonna be "World of Rets" once again. You heard it here first, dear mages. Better level a ret so we can reroll to fotm classes and spit in eyes of enemies. |
Mages are too mainstream, the true power comes with rets who can a clue about the class. Wut? WoG heals so small heals now when they added CD onto it. Sacred shield? It's quite normal ability if you ask me, nothing to ask nerfs about. |

I Play A Mage, this is teh second I'm Leveling >.> Want a horde one too. Fire - Energy - Life - Power - Warmth. Fire just attracts me, not to burn not to damage it is more than a evil power. As soon as I saw Mages could spec purely into fire my heart was set. Destro lock didn't do it for me. The 'pure' fire feeling overwhelms me everytime I play, it makes me happy, it makes me feel powerful, it makes me enjoy my class. What more could I possibly ask for ?

i tell you why i DONT play mage anymore.
i can remove stuns each 15 seconds and yet i have a stun ability with a 30 sec CD wtf? my pet is a 24/7 pet, used to be 45 sec duration 3min CD only used for tight situation or heavy nuking. my frost armor gives me 15% phyiscal damage reduction wich combined with blazing speed is just impossible for melees to catch up to me. and in my opinion can even beat warlocks soul link with its slow effect and not having to share damage with your pet. infinite of slowing ( constantly up on enemy, with orb of frost wich is non dispellable effect) ring of frost yet another imba CC, used correctly in arena the target of your polymorph is wandering around and when the effect is about to end you can ring of frost near the player and he the mindless critter now, will run into the circle and be frozen buying you 6-7 seconds more to kill his partner(s) ice barrier wich automatically casts itself on me when i fall below 50% hp... like im too dumb to do that myself? fire blast with impact spec, can reset fire blast cooldown and do 2 sec stun... what else?.. dragons roar... 20 sec cd 5 sec duration, this easly beats blind,repentance and gouge giving you loads of time to kill players in arena if used with sheep + ring of frost + impact + silence + partner CC's i prefer playing my elemental shaman wich require SH!T loads of skill to stay alive, many off-healing required and in the end i still might die with futile attempt, and with broken earthgrab ... or my warlock, i need the right pet for the right enemy as knowing that each pet provide different "CC" and yet they havent made felguard a all warlock class pet, yet. example warlock and mage similar abilities: felguard: axe toss ( deep freeze ) felhunter: silence ( counterspell ) Voidwalker: sacrifice ( ice barrier ) whats the difference? the frost mage easly has access to this (in mop all mages have Deep freeze regardless spec and they get shatter aswell on passive) whilst the warlock require more thinking and tactic and right pet. ( dont get me started on demonic circle portal and teleport compared to blink ) this class has gotten 1 button push, you win. ( paired up with a rogue, you two are a pair of @ssholes on a date ) if you want to be good wow player and seeking for more challenge ( PvP wise ) i highly suggest warrior,shaman or warlock. ( maybe even paladins ) ( im not saying quit your mage as i know how fun they are to play.. ) i loved my mage in TBC but not anymore, no sir. i dont give a rats @ss what you think about my comment, im just saying. |
