Stats for SpecsFollow

#1 Nov 08 2010 at 5:39 PM Rating: Decent
Hey everyone, its been a while since ive played, but thought it would be good to dust off the mage and learn all the new stuff.

I have been reading on the new specs, and they seem fun - but I have one main question.

What are the stat priorities for the main PvE specs now?

Arcane? Fire?

I need some major reforging, so I want to get it right.

Looks like we need crit now?

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be great. Thanks!

Basic priorities:

both need 17%hit regem blue into int/hit. Any leftover spirit into hit until cap.

After that for fire prioritize crit from spirit if it has crit reforge to haste and vice versa.


For arcane reforge all haste to mastery and any crit that puts you over about 33% to mastery as well.

For both yellow gem sockets could be potent gems (int/crit)

Thanks.

So do fire/arcane want crit now?

Is it hit>crit=mastery>haste?

Fire: hit > crit > haste > mastery (at current available levels, as we don't have any gear that has mastery on it)

Arcane hit > Crit to 33% >= Mastery > Haste.

Haste is actually super good for arcane, but the problem is burning through your burn phase too quickly, which is where the crit helps (more crits at higher mana levels = more damage, and more mastery = bigger numbers from said crits).
