In the continuing series of per-class newbie resources, here are a few things an aspiring mage might want to take a look at. A damage-dealing class designed to stay out of combat and incinerate or freeze enemies from a distance, mages are often in demand for their AoE (area of effect) and crowd control abilities as much as their hard-hitting spells. It's a fun class to play--there's nothing quite like the smell of roasted enemy to get you going. Much of early mage levelling is self-explanatory, but here's some sites for starters:
- Allakhazam has a nice class overview to help you choose your race, and an even nicer spell list so you can plan ahead.
- Stratics' overview is useful as well, with a discussion of hit-and-run tactics and a spell overview.
- The "Things that go Boom!" primer gives a decent introduction to the class, including a glossary and levelling areas.
- Another class guide is at Ten Ton Hammer, covering mage-specific quests and in-depth tactics.
- On the official forums, there's a great FAQ and also a list of AoE spots if that tickles your fancy.
