I have recently created a Mage alt (level 20). I was looking for information about comparing gear stats. I found on the sticky about which ones are preferred in which order but I didn't see anything about how they relate to each other.
On the Hunter forum (my main is a 66 Hunter), there is a formula for gear stats that look like this:
Agility X 5; AP X 3 (etc)
So you know that 10 Agility is better than 14 Attack Power.
Does anyone have a similar one for mages?
I really appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks

It's actually rather complex for mages. And not something to worry about too much til 70.
When you hit 70, though, if you raid, you can use one of the many awesome tools available at that level to compare gear by plugging in numbers. Actually, you can use that one site(Warcrafter?) at any level, I'd bet.

I'm new to mageness and casting in general, having leveled my druid to 70 feral all the way. Been lurking the mage forum here, and figure it's time to dive in.
I have a little flamethrowing gnome up to level 35, purely PvE, and this thread seems like a good chance to sanitycheck my personal rule of thumb for stats.
Intellect is fuel for killing, controlling, escaping, everything. I think of it as having a value of 9.
Stamina is survival...being squishy I need HP for when my "stay away" strategy fails. I think of it as having a value of 6.
Spirit is regeneration...gotta get that mana back, right? But I value it at only 3 on the scale in my head because I'm usually chaincasting so most of my mana regen is when I'm drinking between fights.
How's that sound so far? I bet I'm undervaluing Spirit huh?
Spell Damage: I'm starting to see generic and school-specific +spelldamage gear. I value it more than Spirit, but am not sure how to value it relative to the other key stats, though. I figure since I have twice as much mana as HP (3k to 1.5k) I'm OK to start stacking spell damage. Any perspective on valuing spelldam vs. raw stats while I level?
