As a World of Warcraft (WoW) pandaren mage, you will use magic to gain experience, and you will use your ‘Quaking Palm’ ability to damage monsters. You will also use Insu, an Arabic spell, and Kwangjo, a Chinese spell. There is a little lore for pandarens, so it’s a good idea to start with the basic toolkit.

‘Quaking Palm’
‘Quaking Palm’ is ‘Pandaren’s’ racial ability. It puts a target to sleep for 4 seconds, and disables melee auto-attack. During the duration, the target cannot move or do anything. However, it is still possible to counter it with certain PvP trinkets. The effect breaks when the player takes damage. Quaking Palm can be used for crowd control, stalling for time, interrupting a target, or healing. It can buy you a few moments to get away.
In the World of Warcraft, the Pandaren are born in the Shang Xi training grounds on Wandering Isle, an island on the back of a giant sea turtle. The name is probably a nod to the famous Discworld series, which depicts a flat circular world carried by four elephants. ‘Pandaria’ is the name of the pandaren’s homeland.
Insu (Arabic origin)
A world of warcraft pandaren mage can be a great addition to any group. While the name “Insu” may suggest a mystical being, it has more to do with the pandaren’s mystical abilities. These abilities are derived from the monks, who were once known for their healing and story-telling abilities. As a result, they were popular among the beleaguered people of Azeroth.
Although pandaren are of Asian descent, they speak a variety of languages including common and Darnassian. They may have origins in the same region as the jalgar, who are the descendants of a mysterious creature from the ancient Pandaria. Insu are proud members of their society and hold high regard for law and order. Their trials were held in accordance with the law of pandaren.
Kwangjo (Chinese origin)
The Kwangjo hero class is a popular choice among World of Warcraft players, with the class resembling a fusion of two other classes: druid and priest. Kwangjo is of Chinese origin, and means “province.” The name is also used by a Pandaren mage who is trained to fight with unarmed fists. In addition, Kwangjo can heal other classes and use a weapon of any type, but he is still a devastating melee character.
The Kwangjo is of Sino-Korean descent. His name means “tall, handsome, and talented.” As a member of the Pandaren race, he has an affinity for the mystical arts, and he believes that the Alliance-Horde war is just a game-based race conflict. Interestingly, the Kwangjo is also a strong supporter of the Huojin theory and the Alliance-Horde war is a futile race war.
Frostbite
Frostbite is a talent that gives a pandaren mage increased chances to freeze targets with chill effects. Chill effects are passive slows that frost skills apply. Having this talent increases the chances of these freeze effects on targets for four seconds. Deep Shatter, another talent that increases frostbolt damage and throughput, will increase your damage throughput when using Frostbite.
Arcane Power can be useful if you need to minimize damage. Arcane Missiles and Ice Barrier can keep enemies away while they use Frost Nova. Arcane Barrage is great for controlling mobs that have low health. Arcanes are very squishy and have little burst at low levels. They will probably be painful to fight against, unless you are very skillful.
Deep Shatter
A pandaren mage can make use of Deep Shatter to increase his Frostbolt damage. This spell replaces Icy Veins and increases Frostbolt damage by 30%. It is especially useful in compositions that include a lot of knockbacks and stuns. The cooldown of this talent is one minute, so it is very versatile. Deep Shatter can be used during the Frostbolt cooldown to make the most of the spell’s damage and effect.
This talent also increases the damage done by Frostbolt against frozen targets. It works with regular Talent Frozen Touch because it boosts overall sustained damage. Furthermore, it increases the damage of Frozen Orb. In addition, Concentrated Coolness can now be cast in locations with a 40-yard range. With these two talents, you can make use of the powerful Frostbolt and the damage throughput of Ice Lance.
