Apart from standard damage spells such as Frostbolt and Fireball, this is arguably one of the best spells for a mage, especially pre-lvl 40. Here are some of its uses.

a) Escape. Obviously, you can use this spell to run away from anyone - melee can not reach you, and spells will have a 20-yard more distance to fire. Note this also realeases you from bonds, so you can blink out of frostnovas, entangling roots. You can blink out of warriors' charges too, and other abilities. Whenever in a tricky position, just blink!

b) Transport. Being able to move 20 yards instantly every 25 seconds can shave time off your travel journey, and is like having a small speed increase. It can be the difference between a BG win or loss! Pre-lvl 40, this is a great way to speed up journeys - 20 yards is more than you think!

c) 'Slow Fall' If you're out of light feathers, this is the way to go! Blink just before you hit the ground, and you will not lose hp! - however this is harder than you think, and you need a computer with small lag. There are many uses, such as tricking enemy non-mage players to follow you off cliffs. Tactical ambushes can also be made, such as jumping off from LM, or down to GM in AB; great escapes can also be achieved!

Use this spell, it will serve you well for many levels.

There is more use of this then just that. For instance, you can get behind the invisible wall in the AV cave, and you can also use this spell to cancel your opponents' frostbolt by teleporting behind them. Great spell, very annoying and frustrating for other classes. :P

Free's you from any kind of Stun and Root.

this is definitely a must when facing all types of classes
especially rogues and warriors
without blink you will be stunned and murdered by these melee classes.
mages ftw!

I use blink a lot while fighting rogues/warriors. Frost nova then blink even if they get a hamstring off on me. Then frost bolt them to death, while he's tell trying to figure out where I went.

Without blink I would be useless against rogues and warriors.

Blink has other defensive uses.

Arcane Missile auto tracks a target, this we all know, but what Arcane Missile will not do is track a target goes from being in front to being in back. A 180 degree change in the fire arc turns Arcane Missile off. Therefore when dueling or simply PVPing Mages, Blinking "through them" is an effective way for you to stop AM. And since AM's costs is upfront, your opponent just lost a good deal of mana for their trouble.

Warriors like using charge and intercept to not only close distance but to stun you. By blinking at them then frost novaing you removed their chances of doing either. Some might call this a bad call, but I have defeated more warriors by getting close than I have at range.

Hunters have a sweet spot where they cannot melee or use ranged weapons. By blinking toward them you can stop their aimed shot (a popular opener) and cancel their auto shot. After that use Cone of Cold first and circle around them, if they wing clip you use frost nova.

Lastly I use blink to close distances with ranged mobs when farming. General speaking I fireball twice, get into fireblast range, fireblast, cast blink loot corpse move to the next mob. The move shaves a few seconds from your farming time. Since I farm a lot in a game session a few seconds per ranged mob over the course of an hour or two actually gives you a noticeable speed return.

Against warriors, youre better off saving this for the intercept and frost novaing the charge, because if you blink the charge away, they've got enough rage to turn around and intercept you for 3 seconds and if your blink is on cooldown that's means a usually deadly hamstring and whatever damage they do in three seconds.

This is also good to prevent fall damage. Just blink the second before u will hit the ground.

Blink is right up there with Berserking for Trolls. If it's up, you should probably be using it.

I cannot count the number of times this has saved my butt, or shortened my trip. 20 yards might not SEEM like a lot, but remember. It's got a 15 second cooldown, so over an hour of travel at 4 times a minute, that's 240 Blinks (your mana pool should hold up just fine).
That's 4800 yards you've moved.

Comentado por 27922

Whether this gets modded down or not, whatever.

Useless info: Blink gives you around a 500% speed bonus for 1 second.

As per this guy's http://209.85.48.12/9558/48/upload/p3681774.png calculations, normal 100% run speed is 7 yards per second.

Which would be 7*60 = 420 yards per minute

Blink on a 15 second cooldown could be used 4 times in a minute, and moves you forwards 20 yards, so 20*4 = 80 yards per minute. This means if you use blink every time it's off cooldown, you're moving at 420+80 = 500 yards per minute.

This is an 80/420*100 = 19.0% speed increase overall or 8.34 yards per second.

While not as much as a Hunter's Aspect of the Pack or a Druid's Travel Form a roughly 20% speed increase is still considerable and it has the added bonus of effectively stacking with run speed improvements such as a minor speed enchant.

An example of this would be a minor run speed boot enchant, which yeilds an extra 8% to normal run speed. With the above numbers, 8% of 420 yards per minute would be 33.6 yards per minute and adding to that the 80 yards per minute from Blink you would recieve 533.6 yards per minute. This is a total of 113.6/420*100 = 27.0% run speed increase. And with that you're moving just about as quick as that pesky Hunter with the Aspect of the Pack up!

Maybe not the most useful information, but interesting. (Feel free to correct my maths if I'm off, I'm an arts student ^^)

@ Bangy. Your Blink as a Slow-Fall guide is slightly off, you can blink from quite a height and still land on the ground unharmed, you do not need to risk death and blink right before impact. After a bit of practice it becomes easy. Also a few tips which i see enemy mages not doing....

- Blink behind someone if they're casting at you. Will interrupt their cast by them being now, the wrong way.
- Blink out of frost nova!!! I've dropped many enemy mages simply because they've chosen to stand in Frost Nova giving me Shatter Crits, don't let this happen to you!
- Try not to blink from charge in a 1v1, the enemy will instantly Re-Stance and Intercept, often getting most mages killed. There are alot of ways to beat this, which you should discover with experience.
- If you're Flag carrying, then don't spam blink, save it until you actually need it, like when the rogue feels heroic. Or in a BG in general, it's generally not a smart idea to burn Blink cooldown whenever you can.

Just a few tips which may have been said already (sorry if i've repeated them), which i find alot of mages don't do, but should do. You never know....my friend only just found out at lvl 64 that blink removes stun after i told him....so you gotta be open minded.

I recently started a Mage and around lvl 20, I was running through Wetlands on my way to Ironforge. Along the way, a ?? Pally tried to gank me. He dismounted, Hammer of Justice stun, and I blinked. He chased me for a little, then mounted up, caught me, and got ahead of me, so I just turned around and ran the other way. He gave up. It's not very often that you can survive through a ganking to a ??, but this spell definitely helps and was very fun.

This is a novelty trick that a lot of mages already know but this is for new mages.
Every mage is familiar with the spin jump when casting fireblast and CoC etc.

Blink can benefit from the spin jump as well especially in crowded areas with trees brush buildings and alleyways and even in open fields.

Thing about blink is it takes you from Point A to Point B in the a straight line so most people can predict where your going. Trick is to use that predictability against them.
The spin jump can change your direction fast and it gets your out of their screen LOS. For example … a rogue chases you and you’re trying to kite him. When he gets close pop ice barrier of fire ward or something and jump spin and blink 180 ending up behind him (after awhile you can do this fast making the spin unoticable). By the time he stops running and turns around you got your distance whereas blinking forward would give you less. He kept running because he assumed you’re moving “away” from him.
Also running between to obstacle and turning the left corner and spin blink 180 to the right side will confuse your pursuer. So many times I did this just to watch them chase a phantom down stairs and corridors going the wrong direction.
Little novelty that I wanted to share.

There's a bug with Blink and Hearthstone.

When you're like a half second from getting teleported by the Hearthstone, cast Blink and you'll get the Hearthstone on cooldown, but you wont get teleported.

Try it out, but you'll probably get mad because your Hearthstone will get on cooldown without any teleport. It's not worth to spend a hour cooldown just for testing a bug, but if you want to know if this work you should probably do it.

Good Luck.

Just to let you know blink was once a rogue ability but they have shadow step now if you think about it, it does sound like a rogue move. you konw how ninjas just pop from one place and end up in another place? well this is kinda it. I dont know why its was changed but mages are lucky rogues not so much. :(

(No, i am not a mage or rogue).

In Battle Grounds Blink is the best ability in the world. I'm the little Gnome Escape Artist that unless I'm all and all out killed first attack by 4 ppl or DOT'd to death I can Run away from anyone. Stun/Sap/Hamstring with the help of Nova and Blast Wave I've lived if not better thru them all. Sap your still dizzy but you can move and get away fairly easy. Only when 3 ppl hit me @ once am I frightened... and die misserbally sometimes.

BTW I think Blast wave is underated as well... it's very useful.

At least in 20-40 instances I run so fast no one catches me. I've lived thru a lot with this spell. It's not overpowering mage doesn't do as mass damage as we should. We should be able to run away quickly as cloth wearing persons.

This is pretty much the ONLY defence a mage has against rogues who can kill them in two seconds flat

The Mage is a ranged class! If anything there sould be a rank 2 version @ lvl 60 that increases it to 30 yards (the Mages max casting range).

I have 2 mages, this spell is a MUST. Without it, you're pretty much dead both in pvp and pve. Try playing a mage without a blink before whining.

Comentado por Thottbot

Rogues, you make me sick sometimes when complaining about Mages:
*You can one hit them with Ambush, or you can kill them with your amazing damage and there digustng armour.
*Scared of blink? No ambush? THEN KICK! If you're fast, cheapshot and kick without them knowing you're near. Then you're posions (which should be Cripling for speed deduction and Mind Numbing for anti-spells)have a high chance to have kicked in.
*Now, the mage is useless becuase the staff isn't supposed to be useful, damage wise. You can then SS spam Evis., etc. The mage is dead.
*The defence of a mage is so bad, the spell Ice Armour is added in, and even with that the armour is just too low to complain. A mage who dosen't pollymorph or blink is dead. There's reasons for spells like that. Does a dagger rogue (sub. specd.) ever not use Ambush becuase a mage is mad from being one-hitted so much? No.
*Other classes also have their anti-mage. You just need to use them.
In conclusion, a mage has such low defence it would be dumb not to use Blink or Poly. as a defencive strat. A rogue can kick a mage, literally. So rogues don't complain.So can other classes. :)

ok mates, I hate to ruin this lil party... but every class is completely, totally equal. Period. They each have strengths and weaknesses, such as mages having blink and doomy spells, the big Rs having stealth, hunter having pets and shooting *!@#, warriors taking the dam and dishin it back out, etc etc. But, if you take it all in stride, you'll get that the good ol folks at Blizzard have a very large staff of people who have many years of this crap under their hats. Powers, talents, all that is stared at for weeks if not months before put out, so I'mma say it's safe to say that each power and ability has it's own place within the class's repetuar (...frech=hard to spell). That's what makes it cool, is that every class has certain advantages. So all of ya... it's meant to be there, it's not overpowered, or else Blizz would fix it. DERRRRRRR

mages need this spell rogues can kill mages if they are assasination or sub pvp for mages and rogues lvl 20-39
rogue:sub is best to kill mage imp sap chaepshot,(poisons mind-numbing& cripp)when a mage does frost nova and blink use vanish,cheapshot,kidneyshot,kick, and slice and dice
if you dont kill mage in 20sec U R DEAD! he/she will blink,blastwave, pryoblast and one of my favorite spells cone of cold (if mage doenst have pyroblast or blastwave he will scorch and frostbolt)
rogues and mages are not mortal enimies, hunter vs rogue (ever wonder why hunters have flare and rogues have disarm trap?), mages vs druid (ever wonder why mages have polymorph and druids have shapeshift?)

Ok, when your dueling a Warrior it's pretty simple. When the duel starts the warrior should start to charge (unless he's retarded and doesn't know what hes doing)right when the warrior charges blink and you should if you timed it right blink out of the warriors charge! Then just firebal or frostbolt and when he gets close just Frost Nova and etc. Pretty easy way to defeat a warrior. Ps-the only problem is if the warrior is a fury spec..Just watch out then!

Heres something to try. Find any cliff or ledge and run off, and as soon as u leave the ground use blink.....if done correctly you will teleport back to the ledge/cliff and not have to fall and take damage. Very handy if you accidentally fall off a cliff/ledge.
