Level up FAST in Classic Fresh/HC! The Best Mage Builds in WoW Classic Fresh & HC 1-60

[@Jimlifts1]

Appreciate this. Doing fire to 22 and then going with the single target frost build. I'm on the PvP server.

[@JustinSable]

Thanks for the guide. Forgot the talent builds it's been a while since I played vanilla mage.

[@SeanoHere]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@Morpheus1987]

What is the name of the Addon that shows those small numbers on your action bar spell icons?

[@SeanoHere]

Hi, the addon is called “Stat Weights Classic” you can see it here: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/stat-weights-classic Thanks

[@BBKS-qg2gx]

if im a chill player, on a pve, its good if i switch from solotarget frost to fire ? im 29 already

[@SeanoHere]

It’s way more damage and more fun to play imo. The argument would be over mana efficiency and control which frost brings, it’s totally up to you

[@Korasis]

Will soloing mauradon still be a thing after you reach 60 for gold? heard you mention they fixed pathing in SM, is this also the case in other dungeons?

[@don040870]

I would like to know this also.

[@barneschitown]

i've also looked into this. From what i can gather like it will be like Classic Era servers, so no cap on mobs you can hit(Blizzard aoe), so apart from the SM changes everything should be like it was on classic launch in 2019.

[@vzwson4995]

It will be fine. The nerf to blizz happened much much later.

[@SeanoHere]

Yes Mara is fine to solo

[@SG-qb8ne]

What build should I use if im going to level solo questing with a mix of dungeons with guildies?

[@SeanoHere]

Fire is very fun to play imo and contrary to popular belief it’s actually decent to play, the only downside is limited survivability so PvP servers can be a pain

[@GabeEng]

For PvP frost mage build would it be bad to put atleast one point in improved blizzard? Or that wouldn’t make to much of a difference? Iv been doing dungeons quite a bit and already used one respect. Currently 31 following the talent guide

[@SeanoHere]

It’s up to you but you’d lose 3 points somewhere else which is a hard trade off. Tbh once you have shatter you can just nova then cast flamestrike + cone of cold, batching these together is way higher DPS than blizzard, especially for questing and/or dungeons. Blizzard is good if you’re AoE farming for kiting tonnes of mobs but that’s about it. Thanks

[@mbdizzle]

thanks for the great guide, so If I dont want to do AOE, would you suggest fire to 30s and switch to frost??

[@SeanoHere]

It depends on your circumstances but Fire is super underrated and fun to play but Frost is more efficient and gives you a lot more control. If you’re solo questing on a PvE server you’ll have no issues going Fire. Personally I’d always recommend giving the AoE a go 40+ solo’ing ZF makes 40-52 super super fast. Is there a specific reason you don’t like AoE?

[@mbdizzle]

@@SeanoHere I have never done it before so I am unsure how to do it and I like questing so don't like grinding all levels but I may look into it for ZF, I heard 40 onwards is a slog to level.

[@SeanoHere]

@ no problem mate I’m just curious, ZF is a little tricky to learn but once mastered you will honestly fly through 42-52, I did it faster than 30-40

[@bigjoecabbie8456]

Ill be on wow in a couple hours, i got a fire ball wand on auction, now i have a shadow wand, i just turned lvl 9, i found a hony hole for copper, ne corner trout lake

[@bigjoecabbie8456]

Oops, thought i was text friend 😂

[@SeanoHere]

Brilliant, thanks! xD

[@sinceredeku]

TBH I'd like the Crit on the AOE more rather then the BIG hit. I lvl with monbs 3+ lvls above me, and they usualy evade my big hit. So 6 seconds + mana for nothing. And in fresh, you usualy play with groups. So it's much more worth for me to leverage the AOE as much as possible, especially in regards of its mana costs. I'm OOM after 4 casts. But I am full intelligence, I almost always Crit. It makes tons of fun and I can kill huge mobs in an instant. For mobs on the same lvl, the big hit is great, you have 2 dots. But in my. Opinion it's clearly to slow and the risk of not hitting is too high compared to the mana cost.

[@koztak8171]

Don’t forget Blizzard can’t crit

[@Syntheoswow]

I’m excited to run single target frost with some aoe in there, pulling packs of mobs for quests when I need to but staying efficient when I can’t

[@SeanoHere]

Yeah that can work mate, only thing is blizzard doesn’t work well with Frostbite and Frostbite is great for single target frost but if your main focus is questing then go for big shatter flame strikes & cone of colds, does a lot of damage!

[@westii1300]

Yo Seano, i need guidance on fresh realm Paladin! I want to start as a darf and spec into holy 👀

[@SeanoHere]

Hi mate, if your main focus is healing and rarely going to solo mobs yourself then go with: www.warcrafttavern.com/wow-classic/tools/talent-calculator/paladin#?t=A22222555559888aeedddddhiimmmmmpC2222211111bbB1111155 if you want a mix of solo dmg and healing go with something like this: www.warcrafttavern.com/wow-classic/tools/talent-calculator/paladin#?t=A2222266666955555dddddh888mmmmmpC2222244111bb The last 8 points are down to your preference. you have alot of options and cant really go wrong, it depends if your plan is to aoe mobs down or just solo heal dungeons etc. Hopefully that helped a little :)

[@GUNGNIRonly]

If I go for fire spec until 30 I will be able to respec to frost AOE later? Cause it sounds like the best option here for someone who will play casually with friends and go for dungeons and quests mostly. What do you think?

[@SeanoHere]

Yes of course mate, stay with Fire and then respec if you start to feel a power loss or if you feel you're drinking way too much.

[@summerschoolduh]

I’m level 34 currently and having a hard time getting big pulls because every grinding spot is contested.. should I switch to ST Frost till 42 then do aoe zf?

[@SeanoHere]

Yeah that’s probably the best idea, you could go with frost or fire then quest or do dungeons until you can solo ZF :)

[@summerschoolduh]

@ is doing spell cleave groups better better than Single target? I’m mainly worried about having enough gold for mount at 40

[@SeanoHere]

@@summerschoolduh For XP its decent but if you really want gold you could consider AoE grinding in swamp of sorrows when you're around 36+. Its very quiet there and you get the mobs to yourself, they drop greys that sell for a good amount of gold, just be warey of the spiders since they net you

[@Rick-y7r]

@@SeanoHerewhat build works best for swamp of sorrows gold farming?😊

[@xampleman3663]

New wow classic wow player here and mage. I did not see this guide until level 17 and I have been spending all my points in frost… did I fudge up

[@k1ngw1ngjr10]

Did you even watch the whole vid?

[@SeanoHere]

You can continue as frost that’s fine, it’s just a bit slow in the early levels but you save yourself 1g by not respeccing

[@nickscheuring6287]

Man the frost aoe isn’t working at all for me… everything gets resisted and blizzard just doesn’t do enough damage.

[@SeanoHere]

At what level mate? As long as the mobs are yellow or green range you should be fine, I haven’t done many guides on AoE but following this should give you an idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6m8Zp2Bq5aUmZosi=agOsuieox4sU6Kmu Thanks

@ yes that’s right, thanks, looking forward to playing :)

[@tilesembada5101]

Sorry, before I want to ask, I heard from several people that AOE Mage Blizzard is on nerf? so it's not slow or what? I would like to know, if you reply, thank you

[@SeanoHere]

In other versions of the game AoE in dungeons was nerfed, after X amount of time the mobs would be immune to slows and run faster. Not in classic era though, only the pathing in SM has been fixed so it’s very hard to solo. TLDR: Blizzard works fine in classic era. Thanks

[@kingwilliamVI]

I keep hearing fire is the worst spec for leveling

[@SeanoHere]

For high burst single target it’s great and very fun to play. If you’re on about speed then you’d go for AoE frost

[@kennethglady9207]

Frost spec

[@jetrpg22]

I just do frost, no need for respec quest and aoe monster.

[@SeanoHere]

That’s true it will save you 1g from respec but slightly slower levelling up to 22

[@InfestedChris]

cant AOE farm on these new servers. I tried, every spot had 3 mages on them. It was very hard to get this going. I am 26 and I only leveled once as AOE. so just gonna drop it for fire since im on pve server

[@Rick-y7r]

I’ve had no issues on Dreamscape

fire arkan in classic omg you ll never played classik? molten core fire no dmg and arkane no mana and no dmg^^

For levelling

[@deusaiurs1669]

Arcane is useless. You will never get early enough a wand and arcane build lifes from Aoe farming too. Aoe farming at fresh start on a Megaserver= 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I tell you what to do... You will skill all into frost and press frostboalt. Thats it.

[@SeanoHere]

Thanks but everything is already explained in the video if you watch. If you want to just press frostbolt that’s fine mate it’s up to you

[@YourNemesis23]

Wdym, getting a wand is easy and pretty much mandatory.. and when you claim to know it all, maybe don't suggest frostbolting when fire is so much better in the early levels...

[@GalesSuarez]

Oh no... not again Warcraft... same version for like 5th time. Blizzard running out of ideas?

[@michaeladam3190]

Then dont play. See that was easy. Basically stfu

[@nesten1]

no we just enjoy it what worked

Nope, alot of people asked for it. They are just giving us what we want. No harm in that

Can't blame them. Server was full within a 20-30 minutes
