Am I overlooking any items?Follow

This is somewhat of a gear check.

Pre-Kara, trying to get ready for it. I'm not going to bother asking if the gear will make me adequate for it, as I'm positive it will. I'm just wondering if I'm perhaps overlooking some really good items out there.

Here is my Armory

These are the items I plan to get:

Spellfire Robe

Spellstrike Hood

Spellstrike Pants

Jaded Crystal Dagger

Lamp of Peaceful Radiance

Embroidered Spellpyre Boots

Arcanist’s Stone

Bands of Negation

Fel-tinged Mantle

Edit: Sorry about the useless item links.

A very nice website for gearing mages is wow loot. Check it out for other gear selections you might not have thought of.

Make sure you also get a Belt of Blasting.

A warning though. Outside of the crafted items that you can guarentee you'll get, it's usually not a good idea to make such a list and stick hard to it. There are numerous items that are just as "easy" to get as those you've got listed, main of those being Badge gear. If you stick yourself to getting all of these items that only drop in dungeons, you are going to wear yourself out very quickly.

Badge items really are killer upgrades. They are in the range of T5 and T6 in gear quality. Run your heroics, look for the drops you want, but you'll eventually get enough badges to get a guaranteed upgrade.

Oh, and for the sake of all of us here, please search for the items using the bar to the left, and past the links to said items instead of your wiki links here. Then you get the mouse-over effect and it's much easier for others to give help / support.

The Season 3 (or possibly 4, once they come out) bracers are the best unless you're willing to dump about 1.8k gold on the Bracers of Nimble Thought.

Season 4 haste neck is incredibly good once it comes out, I'd save up for that as well.

Boots of Blasting if you can afford (or even find) the pattern. Season 3 is pretty good as well.

Quagmirran's Eye for a trinket.

The Season 2 dagger, once it comes out from honor, is best-in-slot until you get hit cap from other items and either the badges dagger or the ZA sword.
