Today I want to tell you why I think you should play Mage in Season of Discovery Phase 2, and tell you a little about myself.

I’ve actually been playing WOW Classic since they released it, and I’ve always been a Warrior. But due to the hype from the developers, I chose to become a Mage in Season of Discovery.

But it seems that a lot of content is not even in the game at the moment. Therefore, I speculate that Phase 2 will enable Mage to do more. That’s why I’m here to talk about why Mage excels in Phase 2 and beyond.

Gold Making

The entire time I played WOW Classic, I always had a Mage alt, which is the same for a lot of Classic players. Because Mage is by far one of the best and most fun gold makers in the game. Even before getting Runes, I’ve been funding all my characters from my Mage.

Whether it’s open world or instance farming, Mage’s ability to earn WOW Classic SOD Gold is always incredible.

And with the new Runes, Mage gained the ability to heal itself. When I first heard the news, I knew this was absolutely insane for farming.

If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Mage can take tons of damage from tanks while using Living Flame and Living Bomb for insane DPS. This is much better than expected. This is also something I’ve never done before in a large elite pool in Classic, easily soloing an entire instance without using Improved Blizzard.

Mage is already incredible in dungeon and Classic SoD Gold farming, and we don’t even have a lot of talents and spells to make farming easier. This is the next advantage of Mage in Phase 2 that I want to talk about.

Talents And Skills

By level 40, we gain some incredible talents and skills in farming, namely Ice Barrier, Ice Block, and Cone of Cold. All three skills are immense advantages for solo dungeon farming and large open world PVP like Bandits and Cerys.

With Improved Blizzard currently available to us, Deep Frost Blizzard builds may be the best option for future farming and single-player content.

Not only is this the most exciting part of Arcane Talent Tree as far as PVE is concerned, but we also get Arcane Power and Presence of Mind, which are huge for PVE DPS and healing. These talents are also the main reason we are willing to choose Mage in Phase 2.

Also, we also get Mage Armor, which will help greatly with mana issues. Meanwhile, we also got our first Mana Gem.

It’s not just these talents and skills that are exciting, other classes have also received amazing spells. Priests can get Power Infusion, Druids can get Innervate and Moonkin Form, and Warlocks can get Curse of the Elements, all of which will make Mage do better in Phase 2.

Runes

Did I mention the fact that in Phase 2, we could also summon the best water and sell portals? This would be a very good passive income, but it always depends on Runes. This is where things get the most exciting, even though it’s all speculation. Because we don’t know how many new Runes or Rune slots, there are.

Also, here’s a small list of incredible Mage spells that may appear in Phase 2 or future phases: Water Elemental, Alter Time, Mirror Image, Invisibility, Arcane Barrage, Hot Streak, Dragon’s Breath, and Season of Discovery favorites One of the most anticipated Runes, Time Warp. These Runes will be huge game changers.

Among them, Invisibility can save you from death in failed dungeons. Running Water Elemental is great for controlling large numbers of mobs with Nova. Arcane Barrage will be a great complement to Arcane Mage Rotation. Hot Streak and Dragon’s Breath will make fire more versatile in PVP and PVE.

In addition, Time Warp will not only make Alliance need Mage on each side, but to farm, it will be a tremendous advantage for DPS who can kill a lot of AOE faster.

It’s also possible that other classes will get the powerful Runes we want, such as Alliance’s Replenishment or Battle Totem. You have tons of gold-making potential, either by farming dungeons and open worlds or selling water and portals.

Not only that, but you also can raid many dungeons on your own for the versatility of your insane spec, with the ability to heal and tank instantly.

If you want to get amazing new items along with other classes to help fill our weaknesses, then now is the perfect time to roll Mage!
