WoW Forever Mage Leveling Guide

Best Mage leveling spec: Frost

Frost slows and freezes everything, so enemies rarely reach you. It's the safest Mage leveling spec; Arcane is faster in the early levels but much harder on your mana.

Frost Leveling Build (10/5/36) Our Mage starter build Full talent order in the Mage guide

How to level as Frost

• Pull from max range with Frostbolt and keep casting while it slowly walks in.
• If something reaches you, Frost Nova and step back.
• Conjure food and water before you head out and drink between pulls.
• Finish low-health enemies with a wand so your mana regeneration restarts sooner.
