The Mage Class in "World of Warcraft"

Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to talk about the Mage character class. We've already chosen our realm and we've already chosen our faction and we've already chosen our race. Now it's time to talk about classes, in this case we're talking about Mages. Mages are a ranged damage class, they cast spells into combat like fireballs and, and ice bolts and that sort of thing. One of the disadvantages of playing a Mage is they can only wear cloth armor which means that it takes less damage to kill them so they usually need to travel with a group of other players in order to be most effective. However they are very powerful when it comes to dealing damage from a distance. Mages use things like fire and so forth to destroy their enemies. So while the tank characters distracting them the Mage can really be pummeling the heck out of something, for example, this volatile mutation over here. You could cast a fireball which does a lot of damage to that particular type of monster. Another thing that makes Mages very, very useful is their ability to create food and water. The way you regain health if you've taken damage in the game is by eating or receiving healing magics. One of the things that Mages can do is create food out of nowhere, also Mages can create water out of nowhere and water regenerates your manna and that's a very useful to any group of players."
