Combat Mages typically try and keep distance between themselves and their enemies. Although able to wield powerful offensive spells, they are particularly vulnerable to close range melee attacks. Spells such as Frost Nova and Blink are particularly useful to a mage when trying to keep their enemies at a safe distance.

You should cast Searing Totem at the start of the battle, and then cast a direct damage spell (Lightning Bolt) to pull the monster. If the monsters are spell casters, you might want to start off with the spell Earth Shock to prevent them from casting spells (or healing). If you are soloing, you should cast the spell Lightning Shield, make sure your weapon damage buffs are active, and then engage in combat. You should cast Earthbind Totem to prevent the monster from fleeing or you can try to finish off a running monster with one of the shock spells or your direct damage spell.

Situational Awareness Being aware of your surroundings and your current situation at all times is crucial for surviving in PvP. This includes the actual terrain and setting that you are in, your character's current hit points and mana/energy/rage, the status of your abilities which have cooldowns, and the status and location of any nearby enemies.

Party etiquette is very important in a massively multiplayer game. Keep in mind that your reputation will follow you throughout your playing career. If you offend fellow party members, your reputation can be affected. Those party members can tell their friends or guild mates about your behavior and this may affect your dealings with them in the future. They could possibly refuse to invite you to group with them, they might not allow you to join their guild, or possibly bar you from receiving services from their guild mates. This is a worst-case scenario; however, it can happen, and it all depends on your behavior. So, it is always in your best interest to be on your best behavior. Making friends is more beneficial than creating enemies. The following is recommended but not mandatory behavior. Refer to our Game Polices for mandatory rules.
