Specs & Builds

Specs and some builds for Mage are listed above to give you some idea. Most of the time, it is possible to tweak some parts based on your play style.

Arcane

Arcane is mostly seen as a supporting talent tree, so people were mostly using Fire or Frost spells for DPS. It might not be ideal to go deep in this talent tree and primarily use Arcane spells for DPS.

An available spec may not mean an ideal spec in every scenario.
It is assumed that you will have one high-level character, so crafting professions are mostly paired with relevant gathering professions for self-sufficiency. During leveling, it is also commonly suggested to take Skinning & Herbalism or Skinning & Mining for maximum profit. Due to Engineering's utility (especially for PvP) and Alchemy's consumables (for consumption or profit), they are valuable for any class.
