Online Game - Mages are not easy to play with. But if you know how to play with them and what items and talents to choose you will be able to level your mage extremely fast to level 80. All you need to do is to read this guide and find out the best leveling mage build and the best items!
Talents
As a general rule for leveling, I always tell other players to choose those talents, which increase their damage output instead of defensive or healing talents. Unfortunately, all the three talent tree of the mage were designed to deal damage with them, so it is not easy to choose the right talent tree. In case of mage, I think the mana efficiency is the most important thing, because you will need to maintain your damage for a long period of time. Thus, the best tree is the Fire. Try to choose those talents, which increase your damage passively like Improved Fireball, Ignite Flame Throwing and Critical Mass, since you already have enough damaging spells you don't need more. There is only one exception: get the Pyroblast talent, it is an awesome talent for leveling as it deals insane damage, don't miss it! Besides, I recommend you to get the Arcane Concentration talent from Arcane tree as it will really increase your mana efficiency.
Gear
Leveling mage can be really easy if you know which items to choose. In case of mage, the most important statistics depends on the mage's current level. At lower levels, intellect and stamina will be the most important for you since you will really rely on health points and mana at lower levels. Later you will get some defensive spell so you won't need stamina anymore so go for damage now. At this point, the most important statistics are the spell power and critical strike rating. These two will be the most important till you get level 80.
Conclusion
The next step is to find an automated leveling guide, which will lead you through all the 80 levels. Leveling mage will be so easy that you will get level 80 under 8 days or less!
