Vanilla Class Overview - MAGE - Which class to choose in Vanilla WoW

Vanilla Class Overview - MAGE - Which class to choose in Vanilla WoW
After many questions like "Which class should I pick for vanilla wow?", even I got confused. I don't think I'm qualified to tell you which class to play, sometimes even i don't know exactly what to chose. That's the reason why I'm making this series of 9 videos, covering the 9 classes available in vanilla wow. First episode was the hunter, now we covered the mage, coming next: walocks, rogues, warriors, shamans, paladins, priests and druids.
It wont be an in depth guide, i will focus more on the early game play, the leveling experience, the pvp/pve aspects of the game probably a bit of roleplay and in the end will make an overall performance for each class during the vanilla expansion.
This was when i'm done with the series me and the people will be more informed and confident in choosing a class that suits their play style.
Please make sure to leave a comment down below if you have any suggestions on what you might want to see in the future from this channel.
Also I really have no idea what to write in this description anymore, anyway I think no one reads it so i should be fine just by typing whatever.
Sorry about the Beetle in the video, while I was browsing trough my head about mage tips, I saw the beetle and the first thing that went into my mind was the quote from Tyrion Lanister "SMASH THE BEETLE!" :D

Mage Guide

[@carlpowell0]

"Smash da beetle, mraaah" hshaha xD

[@Frostadamus]

I could not help myself :E

[@jamesgaiser8509]

You should remake this! I would love to see this information delivered in your 2018 style and production value!

[@johnwick9367]

Yeah frosty, now is the time to remake this guide

[@krystalskull]

Thank you so much. I'm gonna be a mage. Your video is so encouraging and helpful!

[@NjoyMoney]

I didnt know George St Pierre plays WoW :D

[@tomwolfe7782]

What has been heard cannot be unheard.

[@alexwhite2197]

Great video but in the future you should put time stamps in the description so viewers can get to certain points quicker. Keep it up!!!

[@Frostadamus]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind.

[@daniellindell3828]

Really great video, looking forward to all the other classes in this series. Can you tell me what is the addon that changes your portrait to your class icon instead?

[@Frostadamus]

ClassPortraits_Vanilla It's on my ui pack.

[@Mozz309]

Another good video, keep up the good work matey. I like how you mention about not being scared to go for multiple mobs/players. Once you understand your skills a bit it's lots of fun. I starting filming some stuff just before nost shut and you can quite easily handle multiple targets! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmOYpoqgaNWdb6s

[@joshw3719]

Hey Frostadamus love the vids. Do you spam frostbolt end game for mages? or do you use other spells as well. as always great vids!

[@thisisbunnygaming8921]

Well.. I have to disagree with you abit dou its my own prefference.. Elemental fire is More mana efficient on the side of 30% mana regen talent on crit

[@falle22]

Awesome video as always! I was just wondering, would you recommend using taloring/ench as proffesions on the mage? I was thinking about going herb/alch but I've heard alot of talk of the gear talors are able to craft beeing really good for mages. So what would you recommend?

[@Frostadamus]

Enchanting/tailoring works ok for mage/warlock/priest. Keep in mind that professions wont bring you a fortune in vanilla unless you hit some jackpot recipes. You can pick herbalism/tailoring up to 60 since they are cheap to lvl, at 60 create your Archmage robe and remove the tailoring profession and pick alchemy. Either ench/tailoring or herb/alchemy should be fine. Probably alchemy you'll have more chances to make gold if you work a bit with it.

[@mqb17]

As a level 47 Frost Mage, is it worth upgrading to the Dreamweave Vest, Gloves, and Circlet? I can make them myself, but the Wildvine is 3 - 4 gold each, and the gloves seem like a downgrade from my current gloves (will lose 6 intellect).

[@majomkenyerfa]

10 days played as a mage ? Seriously ? In Frost We Trust = Aoe Grind = profit .

[@timbrazeal4]

i'm assuming that time is for people that are new, but yeah i hit 60 in 10 days on my warrior and thats way harder to level

[@Battleripper]

I remember aoe farming pirates in tanaris for fucking 5 levels haha

[@Heathcz]

10 days is a lot for mage, could be done in 6 casually

[@Agrippa91]

This channel is already one of my favourite vanilla wow channels. Keep it up!

[@camerontheboy]

Not to be "that guy" but you should check my channel out as well (: Alexensual approves of it and I've gotten 150 subs in one week! Have a good one!

[@lxlyzd]

You should also add the profession chapter to talk the professions which the class will benefit from. Great vid as always man !

[@marwantawfiq]

Frostadamus can you help me please I am new to playing mage How do you lock on the target while casting a spell for example a rouge is close to you and moving around Having in mind I play using keyboard and movie by clicking the two mouse buttons An you help?

[@Frostadamus]

Hmm, not sure what you mean. Maybe when you click on the mouse -> you lose your target? There should be something in the interface called sticky target. Look for that.

[@5chr4pn3ll]

In WoW you can't lock onto targets, you will have to face your character towards the target manually. Usually this is done by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse from side to side, this makes your character look around and also turns your character. Some people use the "turn left/right" buttons, aka keyboard-turning, but this is problematic since they only allow you to turn at a slow speed. A rogue can easily just stay behind your back, not allowing you to cast on him.

[@marwantawfiq]

Wow thanks guys , very helpful

[@100procentmonkeyman]

Plz do warlock

[@Frostadamus]

Next one is warlock

[@100procentmonkeyman]

4 next vid

[@geraltofnizhnynovgorod9978]

[@goshawkrst]

Speed x1.25. You´re wellcome.

[@Max-ej4oh]

Go hybrid, pick the two. You won't be reseting ever again. Fuck arcane stuff.

[@Frostadamus]

FUCK ARCANE!!!

[@Kurupt-Seven-Six]

Thanks for the overview, I'm rolling a mage and this was helpful.

[@Frostadamus]

Mages. I might get a fresh mage also. :)

[@Dominator775]

make a priest and warrior one please! I love the videos keep them up!

[@Frostadamus]

They are on my list :P

[@skilermullen8856]

What Addons do you have?

[@botezsorinconstantin]

Salutari din Romania...nice job frosty!!! Very useful in classic wow, in 2019 :)). I have a 25 mage on ally and is OP compared to other classes!

[@HampTamp]

Hey, what Fonts are you using for the interface? Looks really nice

[@noahbodhi8657]

Melee leeway makes the infinite snare kiting much more difficult.

[@o0TraceuR0o]

your english improved a lot haha

[@daltonventura6733]

Loved this video

[@MrWalalaa]

thank you for the videos. are you romanian?

[@carlpowell0]

The mana conserving spells and also not to be afraid of large groups is really useful thanks

[@Frostadamus]

:P

[@Corkus1111]

Can you please make a download of your exact UI... this is exactly how I would want mine to look.. so clean. Oh and I really enjoy your content please keep up the good work!

[@audixas1]

There is already. Check his videos.

[@johnwick9367]

Time to remake thisbguide for 2019, like an advanced mage guide for wow classic,no1 better than sou

[@Bjeddul]

Awesome video. What's the name of the castbar addon for you and your enemy?

[@menswearhous]

what do the numbers mean on some of your spells?

[@myv112]

Paladin next please :D Great vid as always keep it up !

[@Frostadamus]

Paladin is coming soon :D

[@axey7476]

been loving your Vanilla vids man, Keep it up!

[@Frostadamus]

woohoo, thanks man!

[@eldritch4470]

Great video, Frost. Two questions. 1. why isn't Mage mana a problem in raids and bosses? Are pots and gems enough to sustain a Mage the entire fight of a progression boss?2. Do you have a 60 on either of the old Nost servers?

[@Frostadamus]

Even early raiding with 31/0/20 spec in prebis gear you might get a manapool of 6k. With Arcane meditation and mage armor you'll have 45% mana regeneration while casting, not taking into consideration Blessing of wisdom or totems. You should have before the boss fight a major mana pot and 2x gems different ranks, you might not use them but as you say on a boss progression you might encounter some issues, you'll evocate and get you mana back. If you manage your mana good, for example using a pot or gem after you consume 30% of your mana in order to get the cooldowns back you'll be able to sustain dps up to 95% of the time on boss. I don't have any chars on old nost.

[@panicplays1672]

what addon is it where the frost nova is timed ?

[@matthewcoon2833]

Excited to watch this vid -- watching your grinding vid it's obvious you're very fluid with a mage.

[@Migemat]

As a player who didn't raid in vanilla but wants to change that on nostalrius these guides have been pretty damn usefull, thanks.

[@Frostadamus]

that's great to hear :D

[@forexalised9053]

Thanks for the tips Frost, I started wow in vanilla but only started playing a mage/frost mage in Wotlk so I'm missing spells and have a lot to learn. Just did level 13 on Kronos II to get into the rhythm, will roll a character on Nost when it comes out :)

[@Frostadamus]

Mage is quite different in vanilla compared to wolk, but if you liked the mage in wolk i;m pretty sure you'll enjoy it in vanilla.

[@juttingforrest6184]

Warlock class overview! I'm excited but good luck. Make sure you do your research. This is a very tough class to cover and most people fair miserably.

[@Frostadamus]

:D

[@junglerat09]

I would love if you did druid next! I really want to hear honest opinions on balance druids. not just saying they are trash.

[@Frostadamus]

It's going to come this week.

[@Mazxlol]

i noticed you skipped Frostbite in the spec you showed, any particular reason? Was it an aoe spec or raid pve spec? Because for pvp you definitely need it since you can shatter into frostbite?

[@Frostadamus]

I was pointing to the general talents :E that was my aoe farming spec.

[@Mazxlol]

i thought so ;D rolling mage on fresh pvp server Elysium?

[@kalemavin7846]

Name the this addon?

[@joshhaldo2162]

dude i use the same addon as your but my hp/mana bar is nothing like yours its so much better my like a square how to fix ?

[@Frostadamus]

Don't know lol. If you downloaded my ui it should be the same.

[@fornavnefternavn208]

Great videos ! just what i was looking for as im starting on Elysium :)

[@MilkSteaklol]

420th like EZ

[@charlineduenas530]

question.how to loot all drops in a sigle mob in just one press?sorry im super noob in this game

[@Frostadamus]

hold shift and loot.

[@dkayedc5519]

Why not pick a gnome(more mana/a bit crit/access to pally buffs)?

[@kiporion2574]

Because he prefers horde?

[@luifeTM]

I'm so happy i'm getting back my mage full pvp gear, engineering, epic mount and ZG sword :D

[@Frostadamus]

that sounds like a lot of fun :D

[@EHSounds]

I'm so torn right now. I'm gunna start on Elysium in a few hours. I played hardcore on my Mage in Vanilla (got Lieutenant General title) and I really miss playing it during those times. However, I kind of want to try out Warrior as it is pretty strong in PvP (with the right gear) but also really fun in PvE as a Tank which is what I want to do. Don't have much time to play these days so if I level a char I need to commit to it! Also, does any one know if twinks exist on Elysium? lv 19 or 29 twinks? (I used to have a rogue twink which was super fun!)

[@EHSounds]

P.S Guys go fire! Zandalari Charm + PoM + Pyro is the most fun thing to do!!!!!!!

[@Frostadamus]

Have you started playing? I believe warrior is pretty much the masterclass in vanilla, so it would be a great choice... However; leveling a warrior requires patience and commitment, like you said you need some gear in order to feel that power and the road to that gear might not be easy. There is a small twink comunnity, I usually see them at the BG masters.

[@Brettsauces]

Nebula get ready to get absolutely destroyed if you plan on doing pvp without a pre-made man. warrior is a walking target dummy in that case, as well as being the worst solo pvp class in the game. the game play is fun, especially in pve, but don't expect it to be as good as mage in vanilla. mages can bet the top in raids and are pretty much the best pvp class for solo

[@gregorysheridan2015]

I like your videos I would maybe try to write some of the things youre going to say as points down before you record because you spend a long time saying uhhhhhhh

[@RVZER]

why does frostbolt not get the full benefit from spell dmg such as firebolt? and is it different for each spell?

[@Frostadamus]

damage and healing power scales to spells according to their cast time. a 3 sec + cast time will get full benefit from spell power or healing. 2.5 sec cast will get around 85% . 2 sec around 65% and so on. Fire blast & scorch 43%. While arcane explosion and blizzard around 14% Imagine arcane explosion scaling 100% or Fire blast.

[@RVZER]

thanks man. that's so simple, yet I didn't actually really thought about it.

[@waterface111]

Great work! what would be your census of classes during vanilla wow, from most to least played classes on Horde specialy? thank you!!

[@Frostadamus]

Horde side -> Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Shaman, hunt/lock(lock/hunt), priest and druid ofc. Alliance -> Warrior, rogue, Mage/paladin, Legolas, priest, druid and ofc warlock.

[@waterface111]

thank you!!

[@soul_vicex]

Much easier and cheaper to farm the cloth or buy cloth and make the tailoring Frost damage gear at 20 - 30

[@Ramen10420]

I see 3 ranks of blizzard, I leave.

[@Shaux1337]

im rolling mage...

[@bookman6568]

dude arcane mage guide video him. :d

[@michaelfotis1982]

As a pvper fire/frost mix is better for me cuz the burst is a lot better even if i dont have so much survability

[@Sammysapphira]

West Side pom Pyro all day

[@charlethemagne5466]

Wow harsh

[@Mazxlol]

By the way, are you Russian? I noticed you said "grinding" as "greending" and "BWL" as "BVL" ;D

[@Frostadamus]

I'm not russian, just have an eastern european accent.

[@Mazxlol]

i see, im originally from belarus so your accent seemed similar to russian ;D

[@rupexo]

judging from the accent he's romanian i believe :-)

[@ThaaaFunk]

i thought lithuanian

[@maksimhapeyenka2435]

тоже с РБ)

[@akumawraith2803]

Rollin a mage or lock on nost PVE.. Looking forward to either of them thanks for the vids :) Im curious, which faction will have more raiders? Alliance or Horde on Nost? I never played on Nost so I dont know the ratios.

[@Frostadamus]

usually the population of the horde is bigger. But both factions have a lot of raiders.

[@KazeonGaming]

watched al your videos, you are awsome keep it up

[@Frostadamus]

Make sure if you roll ally, pvp will be bad since 40% of horde population will be undead.

[@knowingyou9173]

hy frostadamus , which server r u playing on ? r u goin to be online on the new nost/elysium servers ?

[@Frostadamus]

this is kronos 2, just making the videos there. I'm going to roll on the fresh pvp server.

[@Classiccolin]

what class you gonna be playing mate ?

[@Jorge-jk5xr]

Great content releases since I've found you a week ago. Keep up the good work, Frostadamus!

[@Frostadamus]

papa bless.

[@Mitic93]

Hi Frostadamus, greetings from Italy! I'm a new wow vanilla player (i've played on TBC server years ago) and i really don't know which class i should do...i always played warrior and this time i would change class...i was thinking of three classes: mage, shaman and warlock...any suggestion? Keep it up with this useful videos! PS: in your opinion on which server should i start?

[@Frostadamus]

Well, I'm going to release the warlock video in less than a hour. Check that also, choose whatever suits your playstyle. If you want to pvp choose the pvp server, either old nostalrius or new elysium that will be released probably next year. It does not matter which you choose, they'll all be populated> The difference is that the old server which will be released in 17th of december the progress is up to AQ 40, so you'll have to catch up a little. The new server, all will start fresh. It's a matter of preference.

[@Mitic93]

Wow. thank you for the flashy answer! For a new player what class do you advice? I hope to meet you on elysium/nost server :), of course i will make an Horde PG FOR THE HORDE

[@Frostadamus]

I don't give class advices :) That's why i make this video series with classes. People might see them and think if that fits their play style. Other than that, this is vanilla wow, all classes will be fun to play since this version of the game has other qualities beyond classes.

[@Mitic93]

OK, i got it :D, thank you for answered me :D. I'll watch your class videos :D

[@Mitic93]

Thank for the answer! Yeah i was looking also at the shaman! But i don't know yet which class i should make xD

[@panicplays1672]

best race for alliance mage? i don't want a gnome :(

[@Frostadamus]

Well, gnome it is =)

[@taylenday]

Elemental Mage PvP Videos: iolwtf and Aftershock.

[@Frostadamus]

Surely going to check them out. Going to make some pvp videos in the future.

[@somedude5010]

UI addon?

[@oGhullio]

Best mage race vanilla? Gear wise, animation wise, looking at the back of your character wise? Undead looks so ugly to me

[@Frostadamus]

Gnome :D

[@oGhullio]

@@Frostadamus Can you even see their gear? :p

[@Frostadamus]

@@oGhullio nope :( But they have 5% intellect race bonus :D

[@ifyourequiet]

Pretty much all 4 races capable of being mages are okay for the class. Human is probably the worst choice min max wise, but the spirit bonus is nice while lvling, same with the rep boost. Troll is also probably best in the game for pve because of berserking if you’re into that. Keep in mind min maxing isn’t the most important thing in the world, unless you’re a priest.

[@oGhullio]

@@ifyourequiet Dwarf Priest... ;)

[@DmacJitsu]

nice video georges st pierre ;)

[@quickschweezy]

VanillaGaming private server ftw!

[@Frostadamus]

I got a rogue there :D

[@brianjones1083]

What do you recommend for Professions?

[@TheMrWreckz]

tailor, enchanting tailor to craft your own clothes enchanting to disenchant all the clothes you made in tailoring that you dont need, and to enchant your clothes with bonuses. thats with mage though.

[@Frostadamus]

I usually pick for caster tailor/ech like Mr Barwick is saying.

[@apathy42069]

"When you get the full set after one or two years" o.o

[@RVZER]

?

[@ArkOvu]

Did mages have teleports in vanilla?

[@Dhumraketsu]

Both teleports and portals, but the Thunder Bluff/Darnassus ones you get at later levels to the others

[@ArkOvu]

Dhumraketsu thanks

[@MrSmokylow01]

Will you make a paladin guide?:)

[@Frostadamus]

I have to make all 9 classes :P

[@MrSmokylow01]

Frostadamus Yay

[@DaweMannen]

Can you make a video about Rogues? :)

[@Frostadamus]

I'm working now on warlock, rogue comes after.

[@DaweMannen]

Can't wait man :D

[@Kaaslolz]

have you ever done H&R ?

H&R?

Enemy cast bar under your target addon?

[@Frostadamus]

It's from the modui interface. But you install BG EnemyFrames do /efs in game

[@Havak37]

Thank you for making this. You really helped solidify this decision for me.

[@АлександрЯкимов-т2з]

Очень интересно, спасибо.

[@Hifcrea]

So dam hard to chose between warlock and mage ughhhhhhhh the struggle is real

[@boots911]

before level 15ish.. it's more efficient to cast 1 frostbolt and then spam fireball.

[@machadododavyjones7202]

I'm leveling a frost mage in Kronos II, I think i'll level a fire mage in elysium, it's a joyfull class to play

[@Frostadamus]

It will be fun to level, and good for dungeons at lvl 60. Might get you a bit more fustrated than frost, but that's ok :P

[@Killswitch1991]

Ice lance? That was my favourite mage move stacked damage when target frozen
