Mage Class in WoW Forever

+2% spellcasting, melee and ranged Haste

Blizzard announced Nov 2: Read Leyline now increases Mana and Health regeneration by 50% (was 100%), with a 15-second duration. This ability cannot be used while Innervate is active, and will be replaced by Innervate as a more powerful effect.

+50% Health and Mana regeneration for 15 sec; near a leyline you are Attuned for 1 hr and the effect rises by 100%

+5% damage against Elementals

Glide down through the air for 10 sec, steering as you go

+1% crit chance for all spells and attacks

+10% Spirit

Removes all Stun effects

Much higher stealth detection for 20 sec

+5% maximum Mana

Mage shares this version with Priest and Warlock.

Two other versions go to other classes.

Breaks free of movement impairing effects and blocks them for 3 sec

Damaging abilities cost 10% less Mana and deal 10% more damage for 8 sec

Four other versions go to other classes.

Engineering devices fail or backfire 20% less often when you use them

Stun effects on you last 20% shorter

Removes all Curses and Banes, and cuts Magical damage taken by 5% for 8 sec

+5% damage dealt by Hunter and Warlock pets

+10% Attack Power and Spell Power for 15 sec

Removes all Charm, Fear and Sleep effects

30% chance on spells and attacks to drain up to 5% of your max Health

Mage shares this version with Priest and Warlock.

7% of Health and Mana every 2 sec for 10 sec, within 5 yds of a Humanoid or Undead corpse; moving, acting or taking damage cancels it

Breath lasts 300% longer underwater

+20% Health regeneration, and 20% of it continues in combat

Regain 50% of maximum Health over 6 sec; moving, acting or taking damage cancels it

+5% damage against Beasts

+10% spellcasting and attack speed for 15 sec

Several racials land on what this kit already does, and they land often.

One racial clearly pays this class back, with useful cover around it.

Something real for this class, either narrow in scope or small in reach.

Brings one strong combat racial for this class, or two solid ones that both reach its kit.

Either a crowd control break with little beside it, or two racials that change a player fight, such as burst, a defensive cooldown or stealth.
