Equipping a Mage is much like loading a glass cannon to fire at a neighboring ship. The Mage wears cloth armor only, like all primary casters and has a small assortment of available weapon types to wield. This means that their damage comes not from fists or inner rage but calculated magical attacks that fly from the Mage’s hands while their defense comes from magic and a thin paper like substance we call “cloth.” It’s true you won’t see a Mage tanking Kel’Thuzad anytime soon, but there is still a lot to discuss on what is needed and what isn’t for Mages.

Weapon & Armor Types

Before we go anywhere we need to know exactly what a Mage can and cannot equip. Armor is simple and to the point. The only armor that can be worn is cloth. Heartier types like Leather, Mail, and the stalwart Plate armor types can never be equipped. Many see this as the primary disadvantage to the class since you’ll always take massive amounts of damage with your armor as thick as tissue paper. However it must be noted that you can use magical abilities to augment your defense. Various magical shields are available that can increase your armor, block attacks of certain elements, and more.

As for weapons (WOW Buy Gold) you can equip swords, daggers, off-hand items, and of course staves. Choosing what weapon type to use is a long and complicated process that... ok, I’m just kidding you. You can figure out which is best for you in a quick and easy process. It’s easier to compare two items together, like what you have and what you can get. (Items can be bought by WOW Gold) Take what you currently have (say a staff) and add up all of the stats it provides you. For a staff add your enchants too (which count as 2-handed weapons). Now add together the stats for the main weapon (sword/dagger) and off-hand and the enchant for your main weapon (there is WOW Money to buy weapon). If you get more stats with one set than that one is the winner. There is no clear way to determine which is best at any given time because there is no clear advantage to one or the other.

It should be noted that Mages do suck at hitting things with their fists, pointy objects, or sticks. This usually just makes enemies mad and increases their desire to bite, claw, gnash, or a variety of other not-too-nice things. So don’t worry about weapon skillups on anything but your wand (and do try not to get in fist fights in the pub). That brings up to the last major weapon type. Mages don’t get totems or sigils or anything to put in their ranged slot. They get the generic magical wand. This one of course can’t summon rabbits from a hat but it can do an ok bit of damage and give you some stats.
