Just curious what other mages use on their chest, +150 health or +6 stats? I personally use the health but other mages I know swear by the stats. Considering the mage only uses 3 of the stats, int, sta, & spirt, I feel the other stats are wasted. Whats your opinion out there?

For raiding/PVE I'd rather go with stats, more intellect and you shouldn't be getting hit enough for 150hp to matter. You still get 60hp from the +6 stats, along with 90 mana, piddly amounts of mp5 with mage armor, and you'd basically ignore agility + strength.

For PVP, I'd go with +15 resilience over 150 health.

well it depends what yours doing mostly, for PvP the +150 hp is better, but for anything else you get more out of +6 stats. I mean out of +6 stats you get about 60 hp and 90 mana (basicly your giving up 90 health for mana), you get some +crit% and extra mana regen but its too miniscule to choose it for those reasons alone really.

EDIT:100th post =P

For PvP: 15 Resilience

You can go for hp if you really want, but 15 sta (and 150 hp is always he same or worse than 15 stam) is worth less in item budget than 15 resilience, and as you want both in your pvp gear it makes sense to go for 15 resilience.

If you doubt that resi is worth more, then just look at gems. 12 stamina vs 8 resilience.

You know, I hadn't even thought of resilience. Good call.

Resi is only better in pvp if you either lack resilience (IE: you're under 350ish), or if you play with a healer. 150 hp is better for full dps team players :P.

And for raiding I use 6 mp5 too, mainly because it was one of the cheapest enchants I had though, hehe.

Mages don't really need anything other then stam and int, so the +6 would be quite a waste in comparison to some other classes.

Bear with me I have 3 chest pieces :p

Shadoweave robe - +6 all stats and I'm frost most of the time in raids
Spellfire robe - +150 health due to lack of stamina and my fire gear is inferior for now (crafted Spellfire for SSC and am secretly hating fire :p)
Season 1 arena robe - +150 health (I have this to mage tank in. My interest in pvp is limited to getting tank gear so the +15 resilence is better in pvp but would be useless for my true intention for it).

I had spirit and mp5 before (enchanter so I enchanted and DE'ed outlands stuff for skill ups) and found that clearcasting, enervating and mana gems was better than wasting an enchant that could be health or stat increases. IMO +6 stats is the best uf you have a good amount of hp
