ChÃll
thats my mage up there. i've played about alot, and found this to be my favourite set.. a few things to note: i use minor speed for ávoiding hunters. i use the cape enchant because i wanted to test it. 22 intellect on wep is superior by far. so is SP on bracers. i would let it be noted however, that as an arcane mage, your stat prioritising shifts a little..
frost mages (pure dps) = hit > crit > sp > haste
arcane mages (dps) = hit > sp > crit > haste.
this is because you're relying on positioning and quick getaways.. (of course, i'm lacking a few grandfathered pieces because fmylife).
mages have less survivability tools than any other class in the bracket, but makes up for it with vastly superior CC, and a decent burst. however, as an arcane spec'd mage, you're going to want SP over crit (to a certain extend) because if your AB's doesn't tick very high non-crit, you can rarely afford to stand-and-shoot.
i am sitting at about 17-18% crit in that set, and my arcane barrages tick from 250-270, non crit, on a 4 second CD.
edit: but yes i'm garbage dont take my word for anything
