In an earnest attempt to gather opinions of the mage and warrior, two classes I am considering playing, I offer you this simple thread to voice your perceptions and share a story.
What do you love about your mage?
What would you change about your mage?
What is the most amazing event or memorable moment that happened with your mage?
Discuss and enjoy. I love stories, and I'm all ears.

Woah, thanks for the link to the other thread, that's epic. It didn't come up with the search function, so thank you. And thanks for the response!

Woot, links to my own thread, thats a first! ^0^
Though I think the thing I love most about my mage is ICC CD burst, or even ToC.
Whalloping away for 20k crits as AB is just starting to stack... 14k crit on each Missle.... yum.
Thrashing the dps meters, staying a good 1k ahead of everyone after the CD's go, dying, BR'd and still managing 5th... that made my head inflate that day, also worried for the raid... stupid 25m PlagueTwins.
Oh, and whenever I play an alt, like my ele sham, I miss spellsteal. Sometimes it's fun to find things I can steal, like the 2% buff on the Flayers in Nexus... or Boltsparks haste... and 8 stacks of Jaraxxus Nether Power is pretty sweet too. heh

1. I can't put my finger on it. It's just a nice class to play for me.
2. The ability to solo. I wish I could do all the stuff warlocks can do, would make farming achievements much easier.
3. Getting a 100k AB crit in TotC25 fighting Twin Valkyrs.

1. Great at PvP and PvE. In PvP feels like a chess match, very unique no other class plays at the pace of a mage in PvP. PvE Arcane has great mobility and spell resistance. Fire has a fun rotation and has very chaotic feel.
2. I would co-sign on the soloing it can be painful considering we don't heal or have pets. I would also say it can get a bit redundant having to use frost nova as our main kiting ability. Blink doesn't work as well either in a PvE environment.
3. I don't think there is one particular event but just moments in BG's when you win the chess match.

Being able to pull Saurfang off a 264 geared tank just to prove a point :)

1) Being able to teleport to different continents for quick access to people/places/questlines. Also frost specced with the right talents increases survivability beyond what is expected by a clothie taking damage (AOE usually).
2) more instant casts. it's not a big deal, but in a high dps group it's frustrating to only get a couple of shots off and remaining low on dps despite dps capability. luckily we make up for it on boss fights. I'm talking fire/frost spec. I know nothing of arcane.

1. Tons of control as a Frost Mage, even when facing multiple people. I'd much rather control the enemy, than be a class that gets constantly stunned and kited with no way to get out of it.
2. More explosions! But seriously, there really isn't anything I can think of besides having more fun spells.
3. Running to a node in Arathi Basin, and delaying a huge group of Ally there with my super leet spells until help arrives.
