Overview
The mage has access to arcane, fire and frost spells. However, for practical purposes fire and frost are the spells you are going to be using the most.
While the “Pom Pyro” build for mages works at pvp for max level, the same usefulness of the fire build is not as obvious in the 19 bracket. The utility of the frost build is the most optimal build in the 19 pvp bracket. The ability to freeze, polymorph and generally slow opponents is going to heavily reduce the dps against your team. This means your survivability (high health) is going to be your main focus. Spell power is not going to be focused on which limits your offensive ability. In short, the two viable builds for mages are: Utility Frost & Glasscannon Fire |
