BIS (or close to) Arcane Mage

[Sairentokira]

So I'm readjusting my Mage's gear (once again) and just wondered what is now BIS.
Excluding GFD gear such as Argus Rings, Inferno Robes, Talbars etc
Would be great to have a nice thread going for peoples future reference!

Also, stat priority seems to be up in the air (so it seems), as PVP crit is 150% and not 200%, would the correct stat priority be;

Intellect>Versatility>Haste>Crit

or

Versatility>Haste>Intellect>Crit

I'd love to see what people think and what builds they're rolling with

 

[Veechard]

I’m rolling with

In > vers > crit > haste

I’m sure others are doing it differently

The 19 quick start guide is up! It feels good to be able to say "guide in my sig" again.

Stat priority is up in the air. Int is definitely the best, though its personal preference if people want to use pure int glass cannon pieces instead of more balanced pieces (green lens vs spellpower goggles xtreme plus). Verse is always good with straight up damage and defense. Haste means faster channel so you can start missiles soon (before people get out of range). Crit does 150% instead of 200%, but scales a bit better (as far as rating -> %) and can provide the burst needed to get through heals. They all have some logic behind them - it depends on what you want and how you play. I'm personally going haste/verse.

This

if ur mage doesnt have 13 sp bracers, zg head enchant, zg leg enchant, inferno, 30 invasion gear and cata satchel gear
why even have it

 

[Drinzy]

Does AGM chest still spawn at 3 6 9 12 server time? And is it still possible to get any of the fel-infused gear?

The AGM spawns every 3 hours still...but you can no longer get the trinket on a 19.

No, the fel-infused gear was a one-time event in the legion pre-patch.

Yup. Unless you already got it on a twink, then you can just open the chest one more time.

 

[Drinzy]

Are there any weapons on par with the ilvl 30 weapons? Or am i just SOL farming bg crates to get the right suffix

For mage? I don't even know if the BG crate weapon has too much extra in terms of stats. Really any 18-19 1h green (or green from BG crate) is fine for the most part. The ilvl 30 weapon isn't that big of an advantage for a mage compared to something that uses weapon damage.
