Thanks to the Hots and Dots column just mentioned below, I have some new mage guides for players to browse. First up is Psynister's Notebook which has a recent (October 2009) multi-part series that was recommended as excellent for leveling mages. Only the first two parts are up so this only goes to Level 39. I'll add new articles as they appear. Note that there are other guides on this site for Druids, Hunters, Paladins and Shamans. Click on the Guides tab to see them.

The mages at Empowered Fire have a guide to playing a mage once you hit Level 80 (November 2009). Besides specs for the various types of mages, they have a list of instances that offer good gear for mages and list crafted items also.

They also have a mage leveling guide (October 2009),

plus a raiding guide for mages in Patch 3.2,

AND a guide for Arcane Mages in Patch 3.2. I know Patch 3.3 is likely to hit next week but you still may want to read this information as it is current.

They also host this hilarious video of how to play a mage. Even I (and I don't play WOW) fell over laughing while watching it.

The Empowered Fire ladies are my favorite mage site of the day!

Thanks for the link love! And we'll be updating all the guides once patch goes live -- leveling guides will be affected by the mana cost reductions, and I'll have to spec frost and play it in a raid to see how it does. ;)
We eagerly await the rest of the postings once you two have time to play and write.
Thanks for the links.
I have the posts mostly completely to finish you up all the way to 80, I just haven't gotten around to putting the final touches on them.
The information in the Blog-o-sphere takes a long time to complie. We'll wait patiently as we know all the effort that goes into writing this stuff (why do you think I do so little original content?) and how real life gets in the way.
Thanks for all the effort, Psynister!
