How was mage in tbc pvp?

Back than i played sl sl lock and reached 2.2k.

Was almost unbeatable in 1v1, beside gladiator level rogues.

My irl friend dont wanna play resto again, hes gonna play rogue.

We dont want long arenas in 2v2, so i tought between rogue mage or rogue sp.

I know mage isnt as powertull was warlock in tbc, but any of you here who mained mage have any input for pvp?

Tks in advance for answers!

Mage is quite a decent and viable pick, it’s just not as god tier as a rogue or a resto druid. In general you’re not as op as you were in vanilla, but you’re good. One of the most potent casters of the expansion, just behind warlocks.

Top dog, same as it was in Classic.

The addition of Ice Lance, SpellSteal and the pet made a spec that was already well equipped for PvP even better.

I didn’t play mage, but I played against them at rank 1 level as holy paladin, so obviously some level of bias, since they’re not as good against resto druid which is far more popular. That said, in my opinion, mages were proper broken in TBC and the only thing that held most mage players back in those days was the fact that it required some level of skill to play well (as opposed to retail nowadays, where a monkey can play one to gladiator). Not much, but players back then weren’t exactly good.

Mages are top tier in TBC PvP in every bracket.

They have 3 rank 1 viable comps in 2v2,
RMP is the best comp in game in 3v3.
They fit into literally every 5v5 comp in existence.

Mage is a really solid choice if you’re PvPing in TBC. Arguably even the most well rounded class in the entire game.

Beside rogue mage

What are the other 2 rank 1 comps?

Ty for answer!

Mage lock .mage disc

Mage Disc
Mage Lock
Both top tier comps… also 3 was pretty safe, you could also argue there are more

Mage Druid is AIDS to play against.
Mage Ele is the single most bursty comp in the entire game
Mage ShadowPriest
Mage Mage.

All of those are glad viable. Mages will always be amazing in TBC just based on the sheer amount of Arms Warriors that will be present in 2’s above 2k rating that you completely counter.
