Frost, Fire and Arcane! Mage brings the damage from afar in pve and controls the battlefield in pvp, and in Cataclysm, you better believe that this class will remain a very popular pick and for good reason.
With many updates to core gameplay yet an aura of familarity to the Wrath of the Lich King version of mage, this class is one thats really improved during Cataclysm.

2:11 Int gives spellpower in Cata. Mana does not.
-
there is a reason the company is called "Blizzard" and not "Charge". Mages will never be bad
-
Thank you for the video! I remember fire Mage mobility was crazy due to being able to scorch while moving 😅
-
Can't wait to play new (old?) Combustion. Was my fav iteration of Fire ever.
-
SO HYPE FOR THESE VIDEOS! LETS GO!!!! I look forward to these more than the actual expansion, they help sooo much thank you @WillE
-
If memory serves me right, Cata was the xpac that made me switch from frost to fire as main spec. I'm looking forward to it.
-
Fire mage was really fun in pvp. If i remember correctly you would fish for the hot streak proc until you have one free pyro that you don't immediately use but instead try to get another hot streak (the one where you need another crit to get an instant pyro) and then you would use time warp. I don't exactly remember the sequencing but you would be able to get like 5 free pyroblasts in a row. A macro was used as well to maje it work smoothly. Makes for some great fun. Edit: nvm i guess this worked in mop
-
why did you highlight the spine of deathwing stacking INT trinket when talking about the haste buff from the tier?
-
cata had the best versions of almost every class.
-
@Wille 🎉great video. I wish we have them more often
-
I remember loving Cataclysm Fire spec leveling as one instead of Frost. Combustion was in its most fun form. I never really enjoyed the spec as much after they made Combustion a cooldown window again.
-
Lvling mine on wrath as we speak for cata
-
I liked Arcane in BGs too. I never tries RBGs in Cata, but I did play some battlegrounds. Arcane is fun, if people forget you are there, tou can start deleting fools left right and center. it is incredibly squishy thou. that I will freely admit.
-
Ive been shredding the dps charts since prepatch. A huge lead against any other dps. Itll balance out once we start leveling but wow its been fun. ICC 25 some aoe pulls ill run over 200k dps and 30-35k sustained on ST boss fights.
-
i remember arcane being the most insane dps on my server
-
Arcane Blast stacks no longer increase the damage of Arcane Barrage or Arcane Missiles. A weird change I didn't remember.
-
Fireball have lower casttime anf 40yard range buff or not?
-
Just got my beta invite let’s go!

17:46 Mins and Seconds just to say yes. Mage always the best :D
