Players interested in running around <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Age-of-Conan/">Age of Conan</a></em> casting magic left and right will be happy to know that in the world of Hyboria mages are quite impressive. <br /><br />Some <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/19/aoc-answers-from-ask-kalanthes-2/">players will be slightly unhappy</a> to hear that there is no straight-up archetypical magic user in <em>AoC</em>. There is no class that basically shoots fireballs while standing around like a glass window just waiting to be shattered into a million little pieces.<br /><br />That doesn't mean <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/07/twelve-trails-of-blood-in-age-of-conan/">certain classes couldn't be tweaked</a> to play similarly to a more traditional MMO magic caster, but for better or worse you're going to have to use pets when you play a magic class in <em>AoC</em>. Well, unless you're planning on being a Herald of Xolti -- in that scenario you'll be using lots of demonic strength and magic.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/">Age of Conan Mages</a></strong></p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/#762324"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/04/hox0001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/#762325"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/04/kraxos_picture000_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/#762326"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/04/kraxos_picture001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/#762327"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/04/kraxos_picture002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/age-of-conan-mages/#762328"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/04/kraxos_picture003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/22/hands-on-in-pvp-with-age-of-conans-mages/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hands-on in PvP with Age of Conan's mages</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/22/hands-on-in-pvp-with-age-of-conans-mages/">Hands-on in PvP with Age of Conan's mages</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:00:00 EST.
