World of Warcraft Mage Guide FREE
There are many guides available for leveling a specific class within the World of Warcraft game. There are, however, few guides that provide resources on how to play a specific class to its fullest abilities. Getting a toon to the max level in a few days of played time is wonderful, but if the player does not learn the fine skills needed to work together well with other players in a raid, or levels by questing and expects to walk into a PVP arena and succeed, that player will be disappointed.Many players turn to the official WoW forums for advice. This is a big mistake. Every pre-pubescent kid with internet access is on those forums posting their un-informed advice as if it were gospel truth. It is difficult to wade through the morass and discern what information is valid and what comes from some teen building up his own ego.However, if you look hard enough, you can find some golden nuggets of truth out there. The problem is that it takes a long time to find good information, as it tends to be scattered across the internet. That is, unless you come across a site like Archmagus.Archmagus is a free online guide to playing a World of Warcraft mage to the fullest. It contains advice on gear selection, spec selection, tips for PVPing, etc. It's especially good for players that are new to the mage class, but even veteran mages can benefit.For example, one of the biggest questions a mage asks is what kind of gear and stats they should focus on. Is +DMG better than +CRIT? What about +HIT? Archmagus provides the resources to answer that question. In the case above, the answer is generally that +HIT will provide the biggest DPS against bosses in raids than any other stat until the player is hit-capped at 164 (assuming 3 points in Elemental Precision). And rather than just assuming that and speaking it as gospel truth, the guide provides a spreadsheet that calculates DPS to back up that claim.Another useful section is the information about Addons/Macros. For example, a macro is provided that allows a mage to Polymorph a given target, then select another target for DPS. The macro uses the 'focus' function to allow the mage to 're-sheep' the polymorphed target without ever de-selecting the DPS target. No more hunting around through a pack of players and mobs, and no more re-sheeping the wrong target. Just push a button and the original sheeped target is re-sheeped and the player never takes his targeting off the DPS target.So, if you are looking for a guide to give relevant information that is more about PLAYING and less about LEVELING, they are available. You just have to know where to look.For Archmagus, try looking at: http://mage.best-free-information.com
