WotLK Mage Builds
WotLK Mage Builds
Here are the top WoW Mage Builds for level 80 but there is not a lot known in World of Warcraft about new builds and how they work out but I have provided the best builds known for level 80 Mages. This covers both PvE and PvP aspects and is described in detail about why that build is chosen for the situation. It use to be mostly fire builds were PvP and frost builds were PvE but that has all changed in Wrath of the Lich King.
Cover me, I’m Sheeping!
Do you get tired of your raid leader yelling at you for not holding your own in a raid? Maybe you constantly hear, ?Are you even trying??, well say bye bye to the wipes and hello to the epics. The builds below are for pure mage ownage, and by that I mean, down a raid in 10minutes. (not really)
Frost [11/10/50] - This build consists of spamming Frostbolt till you soil yourself and make sure you pop out the Water Elemental whenever your cooldown is ready and while doing this stack up your Icy Veins. If this build is executed correctly you should see a major improvement in dps along with survivability even though we all know how much a Mage loves his healer.
Fire [18/51/0] (+2) - If you do this build you will be spamming Fireball just like you would Frostbolt in the previous build while casting Scorch every 30 seconds to keep up the Improved Scorch debuff on the monsters you are attacking. When you have Hotstreak be sure to shoot out the infamous Pyroblast. There are two points left over in this build allowing you to personalize it to your needs, after you have set it up how you like it this build is golden, or should I say, slightly burned? (bad humor)
Arcane [53/18/0] - This is a pattern build as I like to call it, which means of course you will repeat a pattern throughout the fight in the same order over and over, but it will have great success. In this build you will alternate between Arcane Barrage and Fireball but make sure you Scorch the enemy 5 times at the begining and then throughout the fight every 5 seconds.
Eat the Mega OP Pyroblast Noob!
Behold, these are the greatest PvP Mage builds across all the land, and looking deep into them may cause cancer or some form of headache! Well, that isn’t very scary but your enemy will practically run in fear or stay in one place while he is sheeped! I have taken the liberty to lay out the techniques to use against every class in any form of PvP and how to handle the situations in this guide but anyways, here are the best PvP builds and stuff.
Ring of Fire [All Fire] - Yes as gruesome as the title sounds this is a full Mage Fire build which wreaks havoc and conquers cities with flames of your right hand! You will spend all your points in this building acquring all talents except Improved Fireball, Burning Soul, and Empowered Fire. Along with this specific build it is highly recommended you wear high stamina gear as this fight will be heated up! (I need to get better in humor)
Ice,Ice Baby [7/0/54] - Good thing this is the last section of the builds as my titles are getting worse each time. As you can see this build consists of deep Frost talents with a hint of Arcane talent points, making the ultra Frost PvP build known. This build will allow improved snares with Permafrost and Chilled to the Bone, and your burst damage will be helped by Fingers of Frost and Brain Freeze.
In order to reach this high level you may want to pick up a leveling guide in order to meet your ultimate goal at becoming the highest level on the game! I personally recommend Zygor’s guide because so far this is what I am using and I am already level 79 as a Rogue.
No More Alt+Tabbing or Minimizing the Game to Read the Guides. These Brand New In-Game Leveling Guides Will Level You Faster Than Any Other Guide… Period.
This is an all inclusive and in game leveling guide that will get your from 1-80 in the fastest time possible without skipping anything important, they also offered me a money back guarantee so it is crazy to miss out on this. This guide will have you to level 80 in under 7 days, what other guide offers this?
As you can see there are quite a few builds to choose while being a Mage and is highly up to you what you want to use. As the time goes on, and patches are released this guide may be subject to change, but you will be sure to know of any updates. Also, I encourage anyone that may have any discussions about these builds to just leave a comment and let me know, believe me, I love to fix my errors.

Cool builds dude, I’m going to bookmark this page for future reference, especially since I just started an undead mage on a PvP server.
About Zygor’s - you should add a note about how much time the automation features will save over an equally good PDF guide.
why u go 5 + improved frost bolt , if u are using frostfire bolt anyways, better to use those 5 stats somewhere else…
Hi Jason,
I have read into your comment and the reason we empower our Frostbolt so much is that since this is a PvP build you will want to make it do as much damage as possible along with using the least amount of mana possible to survive in areans and battlegrounds.
Frostfire - 14% base mana.
Frostbolt - 13% base mana.
This is the main reason behind this theory.
If you have any more questions please ask because I love talking about this.

two things not addressed, glyphs, and level 80 hit rating requirements. Any thoughts? Arcane focus will not help ur pom pyro.
I found that the Frost PvE build was extremely powerful. Being 70, I swapped the Ignite points for Brainfreeze and Shattered Barrier. Getting off that extra free Fireball while running around is super. A build with a lot of potential.
That is great to hear! I use to be a frost Mage back in the day when I played my Mage a lot but then I switched to my Rogue and focused on her, but glad to hear you are owning with the builds, keep up the good work.
I am wondering why you only threw in a few specs here is a PVE spec I just threw together that is very viable and works good. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0qcz0hZ0Ec0RhIhVubhct
Ah shoot i messed up the link here is the correct one http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0ifz0IzxGzMxedZVcccob
Here is an alternate pvp build for those who want to do alot of burst dmg really fast, this spec really owns if you can time your spells correctly.http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=o0xVfzMhdxGuMtedfVc0o
11/10/50 is too complicated to play and leaves out good things in the frost tree. With 11/0/60 you can have a chill effect on your Blizzard allowing massive AOE crits, Brain Freeze for free fireballs, and Ice Barrier for not dying. I don’t believe the ten points in fire are worth the theoretical benefits. (Fill the tree out yourself, there is room for a little variation.)
And yes, AOE crits don’t affect bosses. But they affect boss adds, not to mention trash. Making a build to maximise single-target DPS was perhaps sensible in some BC encounters, but it was never as important as many said, and it is unlikely to fit all that well with Blizzard’s new raid design philosophy.
@ Alan
Thanks for the additional builds, after reviewing them they seem great and if you did not mind, I would like to add them to the list, giving proper credit of course.
@ Gerry
While I see your point in the /60 side of things, this is yet another viable build, but it was not exactly what I was looking for in things, I have used the /60 build and I was not so impressed, but with the 11/10/50 it addressed every issue I faced and more. Thanks for the input and while the /60 is still good, I just did not include it due to space and simplicity.
I do thank you all for your comments on this, and there is more to come. The WotLK Paladin Builds is being worked on right now and should be up today sometime.

That has no effect on frostfire
well, hitting reply on a persons comment actually doesn’t reply to that comment
the BOLT +’s in fireball and frostbolt do not effect frostfire bolt. if its a pvp frostfire bolt you dont use frostbolt
