User Guides
Wowhead has guides to each spec written by popular
Warcraft
community members, linked above. All three Mage guides are written by
ArcaneTactics
.
New to Legion, you can also create and submit your own build guide! We designed a new user-friendly UI for writing class guides, which allows you to do the following new things:
Embed Talent, Honor Talents, and Artifact Calculator builds into the guide, with notes on each ability choice.
Leave tags specifying the skill level required for your build, and if it's suitable for different categories of PvE and PvP. Perhaps you're looking for a simple build for an alt, or something specifically for dungeons on your main.
Select stat weights and rank useful enchants, gems, and food.
Leave notes on any important items that impact your build, such as
Legion Legendaries
.
To set up a Legion Class Guide, just go to "
Create New Guide
" on any guide page and select "Classes" from the guide category, then pick a spec. You can also set up a guide for a spec via the "Create New Guide" option on the
Legion Talent Calculator
.
Class Changes
Mages had strong spec fantasies and improvements focus around tweaking gameplay and quality of life changes.
Arcane Mages:
Arcane's Mastery has been changed to Mastery: Savant. This increases maximum mana and mana regeneration rate, as well as the damage portion of of
奥术充能
.
The Mastery change means that it is no longer harmful to fall to very low mana levels. However, you will still want to use a burn/conserve rotation (see below).
Mana regeneration is no longer increased by haste.
奥术充能
no longer reduces
奥术冲击
's cast speed.
强化隐形术
is now baseline for Arcane Mages.
魔爆术
now benefits from
奥术充能
in the same way as
奥术冲击
; this means that a burn phase (see below) is now possible using the spell.
Fire:
炽热连击
now affects
烈焰风暴
in addition to
炎爆术
.
炽热连击
now doubles
点燃
damage done by affected spells, but they no longer cause 25% more damage.
炼狱冲击
has been renamed
火焰冲击
.
点燃
now spreads passively, without
火焰冲击
.
火焰冲击
has two charges, is off the global cooldown and usable while casting. It is used solely to force crits for
炽热连击
.
燃烧
is now a self-buff (see ‘Offensive Cooldowns').
It is no longer possible to hold both a
炽热连击
and
热力迸发
.
Draenor Perks have been removed or made baseline.
烟火之术
is the only perk that still exists in the spellbook for Fire Mages.
冲击波
now only has one charge.
活动炸弹
is no longer spread by
火焰冲击
and lasts for four seconds, with a 12 second cooldown. It is spread to all targets hit by the final explosion.
Frost:
A ‘petless' Frost Mage is now possible with the new
孤寂寒冬
talent.
霜火之箭
has been removed and replaced with
冰风暴
as the spell to use when
冰冷智慧
activates.
冰冷智慧
now causes Flurry to apply Winter's Chill for one second and be instant cast. Winter's Chill causes the target to take damage from your spells as if it were frozen.
There is now interaction with Mastery:
冰刺
through a new talent:
冰川尖刺
.
The way that
碎冰
activated has been changed. The extra damage is now calculated based on whether the target is frozen when a spell hits, rather than when it is cast. This means, for example, that a target could be frozen when a
寒冰箭
is in mid-air, and it will benefit from
碎冰
. However, it is a nerf to abilities that hit multiple times, such as
彗星风暴
, as the first hit will break the frozen effect.
深度冻结
has been removed.
碎冰
is now a talent, not a glyph.
Blizzard is no longer channeled. Instead it is cast at an area on the ground and deals damage over eight seconds.
寒冰新星
now only has one charge.
Visual Updates
Most specialization received visual updates for Legion, especially melee. We have videos of the new Frost and Fire Mage animations. Additional videos on our
Legion Spell Animations Playlist
.
Talents
There are more spec-specific talents in Legion, with each talent tree row offering more playstyle variety--active, passive, and proc talents. In addition, there are less "themed" rows--eg mobility talents are split among rows, instead of being in the same row. View all Legion Mage talents in the database
here

PvP Talents
The new max-level PvP Honor system allows you to select certain talents based on your Honor Level. These abilities selected will be active in addition to your regular Legion talents. There are a mix of general talents for each role, class-specific talents, and spec-specific talents.
You can also create PvP-specific guides with commentary on both Legion and PvP talents. Head over to the
PvP Honor Calculator
to create your own build and save it as a guide.
Abilities
In Legion, more abilities are becoming spec-specific to enhance the fantasy for each spec. To see how an ability has changed each Legion build, click on the spell, and then view the "Changelog" tab on the spell page.
New
冰冷智慧
: Your Frostbolts have a 10% chance to cause the Brain Freeze effect. Each multistrike increases that cast's chance by an additional 15%. The Brain Freeze effect causes your next Frostfire Bolt to cost no mana, be instant cast, deal 85% additional damage, and act as if your target were frozen. Frostbolt has a 10% chance to empower your next Flurry to apply Winter's Chill to the victim for 1 sec and be instant cast. Winter's Chill causes the target to take damage from your spells as if it were frozen.
冰风暴
: Unleash a flurry of ice shards, striking the target 3 times for a total of Frost damage. Each shard reduces the target's movement speed by 70% for 1 sec.

Fantasy and Gameplay Blog
The following information has been taken from Blizzard's
Legion Class Preview Series: Mage
blog.
Mages of the arcane are diviners of secrets, balancing the ebb and flow of incredible mystic energies. Unparalleled skill is required to manipulate the volatile forces of the universe. These practitioners push their magical knowledge to its very limits—often to the brink of their own exhaustion, and at great risk to the world around them. Those who master this craft are capable of releasing a barrage of unrelenting power upon their enemies, drawing upon replenishing energies to maintain their assault for as long as the battle demands.
Gameplay
Arcane Mage abilities and gameplay already deliver on the spec’s fantasy quite well, so most changes are in the vein of polishing what’s already there. First, for added mechanical clarity, Arcane Charges are now an actual resource located underneath your Mana bar instead of a stacking debuff. The functionality is still very much the same, but this change should make their accumulation and use more distinct. The one significant gameplay change is that Arcane has a new Mastery, which increases your maximum Mana by a percentage, and increases the damage bonus from Arcane Charges. This should make the Mastery feel a bit more interesting by allowing more aggressive Mana usage as your Mastery improves, and feel more empowering, ultimately giving you much more control over your rotation.
While any worthy mage is an unparalleled expert in the use of magic and heavily dedicated to their craft, those who master the forces of fire tend to be a little more audacious than their peers. If a threat stands before them, the answer is always to neutralize it in a glorious blaze. A lifetime dedicated to the study of fiery forces only fuels their pyromania, and these mages take pride—even pleasure—in igniting their enemies in wild bursts of flame. Mistake their affinity for watching things burn as a lack of self-control at your own peril.
Gameplay
Similar to Arcane, Fire already exudes its core identity, so our changes are focused on gameplay adjustments. Ultimately, you will have more freedom in what buttons you press and more control over the Heating Up mechanic, which is core to Fire Mages. In particular, the Inferno Blast ability was trying to fill two roles: spreading Ignite, and forcing a Hot Streak from a Heating Up. We’ve opted to move the spreading to an innate property of Ignite and have taken Inferno Blast off the global cooldown so that you can more freely and intuitively use it to trigger a Hot Streak.
Another major change is the redesign of Combustion. It’s an incredibly complex skill, hard to understand for most people, and has the potential for either ridiculous success or critical failure, with the odds being extremely random and very hard to gauge much of the time. We’re redesigning it into something that fits into the Fire rotation in a clear and consistent way.
Frost mages stand apart from their colleagues, in that their chosen school of magic focuses on maintaining supreme control over the capabilities of their enemies. Mages who command frost perform chilling displays on the battlefield, rendering foes immobile as they bombard them with ice. Often, the blade never reaches the caster before the bitter cold takes hold. The frost mage exudes frigid power as icicles form around them, foreshadowing the wintry demise of those who stand opposed on the field of battle.
Gameplay
Frost Mages are very effective casters, and there’s already a lot to like about this spec. Frost’s defining traits and abilities are cohesive, the mechanics are understandable, and there are plenty of opportunities for players to explore unique gameplay at a variety of skill levels. Rather than making any dramatic changes to how a Frost Mage plays, we’ve focused more on fixing one particular outlier in their Spellbook: Frostfire Bolt. After removing the fire portion of the spell, it began to feel like just another Frostbolt, and we started to wonder how a spell supposedly combining frost and fire wasn’t just producing a puddle of water at the feet of the enemy. We’ve removed Frostfire Bolt and made Frozen Orb part of the core spell kit in its place, which better lends itself to the identity of the Frost Mage.
In terms of spec definition and overall design changes, Mages lay in contrast to the classes we’ve talked about so far in this series. Mages are in a very strong place compared to most classes, both thematically and mechanically. There’s a lot of distinction among Arcane, Fire, and Frost Mages, with each type of caster specializing heavily in a single school of magic, and each of the three schools having strong themes and consistent properties. Arcane magic warps time and space, and controls the flow of mana; Fire magic unleashes destructive force that spreads chaotically; and Frost slows and controls, setting foes up for devastating strikes.
The changes we’re making are more to prop up existing gameplay for all skill levels and provide some quality-of-life improvements. As a simple example, Summon Refreshment now automatically provides you with a stack of food if you’re adventuring out on your own, or a table of refreshments when in a party or raid.
