Watch what other mages are doing. Learn from their mistakes, learn from their good plays.
Mages were a mystery to me too. After making friends with good ones and duelling them over and over (I main a DK) + experimenting on my own, I've managed to learn the class somewhat.
You can make a mage on Blackrock and look through the talents and spells thoroughly, get some idea what you can do with them.

EDIT:
/agree with above. "That is what makes mages hard, not the skillcap but the skillfloor."

Saving abilities like blink, using all of your spells like frost/fire ward, remove curse, changing armor mid fight depending on who's attacking you etc will let you use a mage far more effectively than most people on this server seem to be capable of. You need to have a deep understanding of every classes abilities in order to play one to it's full potential. A similar example would be rogues.
rogue/mage/destro warlock & feral highest skill cap classes
You and this guy Taralej are the prime example of backward evolution.Quote:
