WoW SoD Phase 7 Healer Mage Guide Easy Mastery

       by        Game: WOW Classic Season Of Discovery Guide        Tags: Mage Guide

Phase 7 of World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery begins in February 2025, and the Healer Mage is the ultimate newbie-friendly spec for smashing Naxxramas. With killer AOE healing and low gear requirements, it's perfect for jumping straight into raids. Here's your guide to pre-raid gear, BiS picks, talents, runes, and an easy rotation to shine from March 2025 - let's heal!  

Why the Healer Mage is your Phase 7 MVP

Forget grinding AQ for Fire or Frost - Healer Mage thrives on basic gear and provides unparalleled AOE healing via mass regeneration. It's forgiving, scales quickly, and lets you raid pronto. Single-target healing is weak, but your raid's other healers have it - focus on blanketing groups and watch the meters soar!  

Pre-Raid Gear: Naxx-Ready on a Budget

Skip the gear grind with this coin-bought Arcanist setup-perfect for fresh Mages who want to hit Naxx fast.

Why it's worth it

The Healer Mage in phase 7 is a low-barrier beast-start with Arcanist, scale to Frostfire, and flood raids with AOE heals. It's cool to play, outshines geared specs early, and fits into any group that needs raid-wide support. You're the glue - let others clean up the single-target mess!  

Thanks for reading

The Phase 7 Healer Mage shines with Arcanist pre-raid gear and Frostfire BiS, pumping AOE heals via 25-second Mass Regeneration Beacons. Batch cast for large group heals, swap Bellfire Bolt for Rewind Time in Naxx, and cover 20 people with ease. It's novice-friendly, scales well, and allows your raid to focus on single-target healing joy!
