Mage Armor is a mage ability learned at level 80 for those with the arcane specialization. It is a self-only buff that improves mastery; in addition, the duration of all harmful Magic effects used against the mage are reduced by 25% when Mage Armor is active.

Tips

• This is very handy in groups and on raids when mages not being hit, but their ability to keep fighting over a long period of time is important.

• In PvP the 25% debuff time reduction can be a life-saver, especially when facing Warlocks, since a great deal of their damage comes from damage over time effects and dispellable curses.
