- Level 39 Twink Mage Notes
- At level 39, twink Mages beat all other classes for damage per kill (overall damage / # kills), but are second in overall damage to Warlocks (dot -n- run) and are usually even with Hunters for most kills. Mages liven-up during the 30s due mostly to talent points.
- Twink Fire Mages, who stack on fire spell power (aka: Glass cannon), at level 39 have been known to get above 400 Fire spell damage, throw Pyroblasts for over 2,000 hit points, Fireballs nearing 2,000 hit points, and Fire Blasts around 1,500 hit points.
- At level 39, arcane is the best spec against any spell caster, due to talents such as 'Spell Absorption' and 'Improved Counterspell', not to mention 'Arcane Mind'.
- Wowarmory example: Sunfïre, the Guild Master of <THIRTYNINE>
