Ever since I started to play World of Warcraft, I\’ve been hanging out with the good guys of the Alliance. But no matter how many characters I\’ve started, I always gave up on taking them over level 40 because that\’s when things get rough. But between my guilds raids, I haven\’t found anything satisfying to do than level another toon. So, to take it as fast as possible to the end game content I took in an Alliance leveling guide. This guide has shown me quite a bunch of leveling tricks to enhance my XP, so I\’m going to share a few of them here.

1. Always pick up all the quests that you encounter. In World of Warcraft, questing is the main way to level up, and you always need to focus on the bonus XP that you will get by completing a quest instead of the XP from the mobs that you kill. It\’s also much better to solve only quests that are lower than you, to go through them faster and without dying 10 times on a quest.

2. Don\’t waste too much time gearing up your character while leveling. That\’s time consuming. The Alliance leveling guide I\’ve been working with has taught me that the green gear from the quests is good enough for leveling and you chage it anyway while you advance in level. So, it\’s no point in spending time and gold trying to gear up for leveling.

3. Sign up in queue for battlegrounds from time to time to diversify your gameplay. Completing a battleground is like completing a cluster of quests, as you get nice XP with every objective that your team conquers. Even if your team loses, you still get a fair amount of XP and honor points. Even more, of there\’s a holiday for any battleground, you will get double XP and honor by completing one.

If these tips aren\’t won\’t hasten your progress as much as you hoped, I can only recommend you the Alliance leveling guide I\’ve been following. It\’s a consistent guide, that will show you the perfect leveling path for Alliance and I\’m absolutely positive that will work for you.

Here\’s the Alliance Leveling Guide I spoke about and here\’s another link where you can read more about this Alliance Leveling Guide.

While there tends to be an assumption that priest is the hardest class to level, mage is in a difficulty class of its own. That’s why it is vital to make sure you are specced and geared as well as possible during your journey to level 80, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride even if everything is perfect.

Let’s talk gear first. Spellpower or Spell Damage of the appropriate element, enough Hit to be capped (four percent against equal-level targets), and Int. Don’t bother with spirit, and don’t dump other stats for stamina, unless you want to PvP a lot while leveling. Evocation and Replenishment are both max-mana based, so Int is your goto stat for regen; Spirit is worthless even with the appropriate talents.

While nothing is as important as being hit capped (an unlucky miss can get you killed), determining the priority of Int or Spellpower is trickier. Generally speaking, if you aren’t killing the mob before it reaches you for the second time post-Nova, you need more damage. If you are, great, stack more Int so your Evocations are bigger and you can go longer without drinking.

Once your gear is in order, you need to think about specs. Frost is amazingly good for stomping mobs singly or in groups…once you have the right talents. Until level thirty, though, it is the gimpest of the specs, so we’ll go arcane at first. Get the five-point talents from the first two rows, then grab Arcane Attunement and Arcane Focus. At this point you can do whatever you like, it doesn’t really matter. At either 29 or 30, head to a trainer and respec to Frost.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=#oZZAc0hobu is what you should aim for in your new Frost spec, although if you are killing quickly enough you’ll want to get Icy Floes instead of Frostbite. Not that it matters, since you’ll get whichever one you DON’T start with using your next three points. Then, get Frost Channeling and Winter’s Chill, followed by Ice Barrier and Shattered Barrier, and finally Cold as Ice. Pretty much fill out the tree at this point, grabbing everything below and including Empowered Frostbolt and Fingers of Frost. With the Eternal Water glyph, you can turn your elemental permanent, at which point you’ll be nearly unstoppable.

With spec and gear out of the way, all that’s left to discuss is playing style. AoE requires more skill than I can teach easily, so we’ll stick to single-target pulls, which are preferable now that AoE has been nerfed anyways. Basically, you want to nuke the enemy until they are close to hitting you, then Nova them. After you get some distance, continue nuking until they die. For the first ten or fifteen levels, just use your wand or whatever you just got a rank in as your nuke. And always finish off near-dead enemies with your wand to conserve mana!

The only difference between Frost pulls and Arcane, other than the nuke of preference, is that Arcane can’t nova every fight and will have to tank every other pull. This isn’t a big deal, though, because Arcane is unaffected by pushback. The last thing I want to mention is damage shields such as Ice Barrier and Mana Shield; they are a waste of mana unless you aggro multiple mobs or are fighting a ranged mob.

I hope this is enough to get you started on Mage. I think its obvious I’ve left a lot unsaid, but by the time you need to outgrow this guide, you’ll be much much more comfortable with advanced strategies. Make sure to check out my other WoW guides if you liked this one!

If you are thinking about rolling a new warrior, or race changing your old one, it is important to have a grasp of what the various races bring to the table. Racials aren’t that big a deal, but for anyone looking to maximize their potential it is important to pick the best race. This article will explain what each race excels at, be it Tanking, DPS, or PvP.

Humans are first up. Human’s extra expertise with swords and maces adds to their potential DPS. Every Man for Himself is somewhat useful for Tanks, and is completely amazing in PvP. Perception also benefits PvP warriors, although you still won’t be able to bust stealthers with any reliability.

Dwarf warriors are another popular choice, and for good reason. Stoneform is handy for Tanks and PvP warriors in particular, adding survivability, although DPS can benefit as well, since dead dwarves do no damage. Their bonus to expertise with Maces is good across the board, adding even more damage than a warrior’s mace bonus. And the extra Frost Resistance they come with can be good against mages, and occasionally shaman.

Gnome seems to be a somewhat popular choice, probably based on appearance more than racials; they don’t have any racials to improve their damage, and Escape Artist is pretty weak as far as on-use Racials go. Not a recommended race for anyone trying to min/max.

Night Elves are like gnomes in that they lack any damage improving talents, but unlike gnomes they have other decent racials. Elusiveness is a fantastic racial for PvP and Tanking, and Shadowmeld is great for getting the jump on enemies in PvP.

Draenei is our last race. Heroic Presence is a great racial for pretty much any purpose, thanks to the benefit it provides to both the Warrior and his party, although it doesn’t stack. Gift of the Naaru is another decent all-around racial; the ability to heal yourself in an emergency can be great for any warrior, although it is most useful in PvP. Finally, Shadow Resistance is nice against Warlocks and Priests.

So you know what each race brings, but which ones are the best? Well, Draenei is your best bet if you are focusing on DPS, and is a good all-around choice as well. For Tanking, Night Elf’s Elusiveness adds a nice little bit of avoidance, making them the best choice. And for PvP, the ability to equip an extra non-PvP trinket makes Human unmatched for Warrior, be it Horde or Alliance.

One question that always plagues people looking to start a new class is what race they should pick. While some will tell you just to pick something you like the look of, there are those of us who want every edge we can get in PvE and PvP. We’ll discuss each races pros and cons, and figure out which Alliance race is the best race for mage.

The first up is of course human. Humans have a few racials worth noting for anyone rolling mage. They get a passive 3% spirit bonus; not great, but still. Every Man for Himself is amazing for PvP, allowing you to equip something other than a PvP trinket. Perception is also great for PvP; busting rogues out of stealth can win fights instantly.

But what about PvE? Every Man for Himself will let you get out of CC and back to DPSing on occasion, but that’s very situational and won’t mean much in the long run. And the 3% Spirit bonus is just laughable. If PvE is all you’re interested in, I’d skip over human.

Next option for potential alliance mages is gnome. Escape Artist is another great PvP racial with limited PvE uses, as is Arcane Resistance…but Expansive Mind is an amazing all-around racial that will impact heavily on both PvE and PvP mages. So gnome is a great all around choice for anyone rolling mage.

Last choice for mage are the infamous blueberries, Draenei. Their HoT racial, Gift of the Naaru, can be handy in PvP and in some situations in PvE; not dying is a great way to improve your DPS. And even if you aren’t in too much risk of dying, taking pressure off overtaxed raid healers can be helpful.

But the thing that is really worth noting on the Draenei racial list is Heroic Presence. This 1% hit bonus is great for PvP and PvE; miss the wrong spell in PvP and you’re dead, and in PvE no stat is a bigger improvement on DPS if you are under the hit cap. Add in their last racial, a 2% passive shadow resistance, and Draenei is another decent mage race.

So all we’ve really concluded is that unless you are rolling a human for PvE, you probably will do alright. But what is the BEST race for mage? For PvP, human is easily the best. The only thing better than one powerful trinket is two, and human can equip two thanks to Every Man for Himself handling all your CC busting needs.

How about for PvE? Well, Heroic Presence doesn’t stack, so if you are goign to be running with other Draenei then it is kinda useless. And Expansive Mind really is a great racial. So gnome is usually going to be the best PvE race for mage.

Hopefully this has answered your questions about which race to roll for Alliance mages. Horde races will be the next thing I write about, so be sure to give that a look if you aren’t sure what faction you are going to play.
