Underwater Breathing is great for underwater quests and Will of the Forsaken can remove Charm, Fear and Sleep but you don’t encounter these often when leveling up. The Undead aren’t without their own benefits, but they are more niche. Berserking gives you a 10-30% casting speed buff every 3 mins, which is great for taking down important targets. Trolls get 5% more damage to beasts, in-combat health regeneration, and a DPS cooldown: Berserking. Hordeįor the Horde, you’re looking at either Troll or Undead and there is a clear winner: Troll. Humans on the other hand really only bring 5% increased Spirit. Gnomes get 5% more Intellect, +15 to Engineering (one of your go-to professions), and Escape Artist to get out of sticky situations. If you are interested in pursuing AoE for some or all of your hardcore journey, take a look at the great guide written by Durtyrandy Best races Allianceįor the Alliance, your two options are Human or Gnome with Gnome being the clear winner here across the board. However, this guide specifically does not leverage this AoE prowess due to it being centered on hardcore survivability for players newer to mage and/or hardcore. Note that one the biggest strengths of Mage is their ability to be absolutely AoE gods. Arcane is fine and a lot of fun too, but not recommended. For players wanting a change of pace from Frost, Fire is also a very strong single target spec losing out on a bit of survivability for bigger damage, and is a lot of fun to level in. It is highly recommended that you level your Mage in the Frost spec for hardcore, as the name of the game is survivability and this spec is unmatched in that regard. They get early access to CC in the form of Polymorph and Frost Nova and are focused on bursting mobs down before they get a chance to reach them. They are a glass cannon class built on two core principles: control and big direct damage. Mage is one of the strongest classes to level in hardcore for both new players and experienced ones, especially if you choose to level in the recommended Frost Spec.
