Mage PvP Guides for Cataclysm Classic
Welcome to our Mage PvP guide for World of Warcraft Cataclysm. The following pages will lead you through the basics of Mage PvP, displaying all their strengths and weaknessnes. The guide will focus on Frost and Fire, since Arcane is a non-viable spec for Mage PvP in Cataclysm.
Mage PvP Overview
Mages are a really popular PVP class. Frost Mages shine with brilliant crowd-control, burst damage and survivability, while Fire Mages are more of a consistent dot based damage dealer in PVP. Arcane Mages are not a viable PVP spec for Mages, as their spec talent Mana Adept relies on being on full mana to do optimal damage. This, combined with a lacking crowd-control toolkit and weak survivability, makes Arcane Mages a spec that is not really present in PVP.
Below are links to our guides specifically for Frost and Fire PvP. These guides cover the optimal specializations, best gear, and useful tips and tricks to help you maximize your character's performance in PvP scenarios.
