Battle Mage is an archetype of mage that tends to use spells and melee attacks to defeat their foes. This hasn't been supported in past World of Warcraft, as Mage is traditionally a ranged DPS. With a new level 60 weapon discovered in WoW: Forever, Battle Mages may have some potential at max level!
This weapon provides some spell power and spell piercing, but also has a very unique effect: Wit's End. On a melee swing, there's a 15% chance for the Mage to gain Clearcasting. This could lead to some interesting rotations, where Mages want to weave in some melee swings between swings to get free casts.
How to Obtain Wit's End Weapon
Wit's Edge is an item created by using a Scroll of Wit on the Witchblade.
Scroll of Wit can be discovered through a Mage's comprehension skill on the level 175 skill scrolls, according to Reddit user Kissta96.
Witchblade drops from Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance.
Combining the two items will grant you a brand new Sword!
