first time playing a mage for more than five minutes, i’ve gotten pretty far but i’ve died every 20 minutes just questing so any help or instructions would be appreciated xp. i’ve been going between arcane mage and blood death knight if that helps figure out how fish-out-of-water i am. thanks.

Oh gee, I haven’t levelled in ages. I only have one main (this character).

Before engaging any group mobs, have a path of exit and cool downs up (like frost nova, shield, images, etc) just incase.

Just arcane blast away and missile away.

Use poly to give yourself a bit of breathing room.
As arcane, you’ll lack decent AoE until your barrage can cleave and with arcane orb.
Best of luck.

first of all , you have to keep your bubble up or you die
also fix your blink so you can blink the way you are moving and use your images if you have a hard to kill mob

It’s been a while since I leveled, but my recommendation is use all the tools in the toolkit. Barriers, blinks, time, slow, freeze, nether tempest, sheep, orbs, blast, barrage.
One of the criticisms people have of arcane is “too many buttons” but each of those buttons is also a help depending on where you are and what you’re up against. Explore every spell and use it and you’ll find it’s a lot of fun. When you hit your surge you can drop almost anything before it gets to you. But don’t get hit.

Make sure not to neglect your Frost Nova. As much as it is a frost spell, it is also a utility spell to possibly prevent your death. Also, don’t barrage at 4 Arcane Charges; keep the damage rolling.
