ive been playing my brothers mage a few times and ive noticed that its one of the most easy mode classes and also has some of the funnest abilities in the game.

fun abilities unique to mage:
-his awesome aoe, most other classes have boring ranged and channeling aoe.
-41 yards of owning range!
- its fun to crit 1.8k to 1.9k fireballs at lvl 60 which are higher than ive seen affliction locks at lvl 70 crit (1.6k)
- frost nova! its annoying and usefull!
- u can escape from almost everything! weird that the most damaging class should have such survivability!
-blink!! <3 <3 <3, its so fun unique and its the only ability that removes stuns! other classes need stuff like trinkets. mages can neva get stunlocked!
-water and food conjuration, this surely saves about 10g a day, since a stack of water or food costs nearly 2g
-the pve is so easy! u can just 4 hit everything, very fast killing.
-sheep! ill get to this later on.
-10 sec silence, locks imba? if u silence their shadow spells with this u can do whatever u like to them for 10 whole secs, and it doesnt even have global CD!
-slowfall, things like this just add more and more fun to the game! ever jumped down to gm at ab and shot a pyroblast in someones face while falling down slowly?

ppl whining about mage just need to l2p,

First time i played my bro's mage was at lvl 56 in hellfire peninsula, was a fire mage and i just walked around the place OWNING lvl 60+++, i even killed a lvl 70!!
How you ask? I attacked a lvl 70 lured him to a fel reaver, sheeped him and ran like hell! <3 sheep
U do so much burst damage as a fire mage and also make them unable to retaliate because of dragons breath.

second time playing mage, arcane mage lvl 60 with about 7 points in fire.
lock...
arcane power...
pom...
2 fireballs in a row followed by blinking(yay!) and fireblast.
INSTAKILL!

and all this fun just at lvl 60, just think about the fun u can have with invisibility, slowfalling off a flying mount, and.... spell steal!! zomg! :O

imo frost suck most, mages are about burst damage not dps, fragile but powerfull. they should be doing huge damage FAST (instants).
frost mages usually use stuff with casting time.
spells with casting time (like fireball) should only be used as an opener, afterwards nuking with instants, frost mages dont have very good instants and those that they have are only usefull on frozen targets.

It is perfectly fine that you find the Mage class to be both fun and easy to play, but it is most certainly not fine to troll and annoy others on the forums. Begone troll!!!
