Looking to make a horde mage, get all horde only items, BoAs from my alliance main on the same server then xfer to BL rep on durotan. I know that when im horde I will get seal of sylvannas, Inferno robe and dawnblade, is there anything else worth getting. Also can someone link me a max stam chardev? would be much appreciated. In addition to this I will be human.

The only other horde item i can think of is Sacred Burial Trousers



character planner . 19 max stam mage . chardev seven - Max stam mage. Its a bit gimped since it has no hit rating, minor speed and misses out on int in a few places like wrynn instead of blood ring etc



1912 hp, 1218 mana, 0 hit unbuffed



Edit: ignore the stats on cloak and belt other than the stam, i did this to show stam gains from satchel stuff.
 
Hehe, well mine doesnt look as pretty cos it has random stats like agi and spirit floating about, but you missed out pious legwraps and banchee rod. Yours has the correct armour though.
 
Thanks very much. I think Ill roll with Wrynn/Blood ring. in regards to hit rating what do the 1 hander BoAs give? Resplendent cloak of the whale? lolwut :)



ty again.

btw my mage will be on same server as my priest twink called stickymitten so im thinking of calling it stickymitts? suggestions? :)
 
How about Mittystickens? Anywho resplentednt cloak of the whale is just there because you cant get stats on tumultous cloaks. It has the same stam as a max stam satchel cloak though. Same applies to belt.



Balanced Heartseeker gives 1hit and zero stam. Thats the only 1h boa with hit. Th best way imo to get hit would be to use spidersilk drape, grand staff of jordan or spidersilk + lavishly jeweled ring + go draenei. Or you could just use hit pots in wsg.
 
well im definately going human so i can get free tinket + 2 agms :) so i guess ill go lavishly jeweled, spidersilk, seal of wrynn. Thats what 6 hit rating? and with wsg (which ill do mostly) there is usually a nearby draeni/use of minor accuracy pots. Comments? (*looks at Kore*) :D



Mittystickens ey? sounds good but would anyone recognise me do you think? hmk will think some more.
 
I would try to get my mana around 1400-1500 honestly. Your not much good if you go oom. You really cant hope for the offense to kill you since you wont be getting focused. I would let you run oom but keep you in combat so you cant drink. Just my 2 cents.
 
well diesel ill see what i can do about that, maybe use Tree bark with 100hp/100mana?. I just am super paranoid of the mass amount of huntards ie pizza and co rolling about on horde that can kill a mage in ~10 seconds at best w/o LB/agm.



just my $3.47 AUS.

Well for WSG you'll need 11 rating to be capped vs belfs, and 30% of your oppenents are belfs. Personally i would advise you roll draenei instaed of human. You will have 120 less hp, but you get a sweet hot + 1% hit chance at all times.

6 hit rating wont cap you against anything, and you cant guarentee that you'll be with a draenei at all times, in fact usually there will be only 2 in each wsg and the chances that you'll be near enough to them to get the buff are too slim for me.

get 6% hit chance imo, go draenei then you only need to worry about 5%, if you only want to gear for 6 rating you can spec for 1% more and you'll only be 0.5% away from belf cap.



Edit: give me 10 mins to think about optimum way to cap mage.

Edit2: Well hit pots are the best way to get capped (well so close its negligible) in WSG, but if you dont want to use pots then BoA staff + spidersilk would be best. If you do roll draenei (or spec for 1%) then you could consider spidersilk and simple pearl ring for 1 more stam but 4 less int, or BoA staff and lavishly jeweled ring for 2 more int but same stam, but with both of these you would be 0.3% from the cap, three times as much as if you got 10 rating.
 
Kore's pointed out everything you need to know about hit rating.

You can look up my mage if you'd like. It's not your ordinary spec and my gear is a bit different from some of the other mages, but I have fair amount of both hp/mp, which hasn't let me down yet.



Like diiesel said earlier, you may not get focused all the time, so don't count on stacking stam. If you can stay at max range and know how to get away when things get tight, then a good mana pool is always good. But since the patch has hit with down ranking available again, stacking stam is preferred among mages.
 
Ok kore so say i do roll draeni, hot and hit are good however perception also useful for avoiding sap in arenas/wsg and just good in general to slow thsoe pesky rogues. So anyway if i go draeni ill use BoA and lavish for 0.3% off hit cap amirite? Also as Draeni i could always skimp on the Trinket and go for duel AGM? yes/no? lavish plus sylvannas for draeni yeh?



soz bout confusin post.

Right- jsut read your post Firetruckk checking out your armory now.... ok well your hp/mp at about 1.5k each seems very healthy and balanced as hell, will model myself off you :D only difference will be ill get exquisite BOA shoulders i guess. Also I may be lazy with fishing for a whiel so 8stam goggles will do for a while. In addition to this... as i will be alliance once ive got the horde only shit, think i should grab those 8stam legs over 5stam 5int? would you personally firetruckk if you had access to alliance stuff?



-stickymitten



edit1: argh if im draeni how much hit rating does my 1% bonus equal, ie can i drop simple pearl?
 
Um.. what? Whenever I play if there is a mage thats target #1.. Who on earth (especially in premades) doesnt try to kill the mage first? Also, you really do not go oom, I have to remake my mage with more stam but I have something like 1500 hp 1700 mana unbuffed and I do not go anywhere close to OOM. I would aim for something like 1300-1400 mana and you should be beyond perfect. If an O sticks on you for that long you dont need a mage because they are bad or you arent doing something right. You should easily be able to drink in between waves. That being said don't go full stam to the point of being silly. I take TBJ over BA because 6 stam for 10 int, while choosing stam elsewhere is an okay decision for me.



On that note.. some of you FC druids need to work on getting other stats then stam too..
 
Evocate said it perfectly, I think he also hit the mana number on the head too except I would say closer to 1300 is good. Honestly I don't even pay attention to my mana bar anymore. Using a hit elixer is good enough in my experience. There is a +8 stam cloak, +10 stam belt, and 6 stam/6 int belt that drops from the satchels that is a good way to mix and match the stats with your chest pieces.



I was engineering while I was waiting for fishing hat to drop but honestly I think eng is the way to go for a mage, bombs can be so game changing. I guess another 70 stam could be game changing too if it allows you to get off that clutch nova. Good luck working on your mage those chardevs look good for the most part except not one of them has +6 STAM boots with minor speed which is a must (you will have plenty of int from your other pieces if not the +22 int chant alone)

I would probably go human for the dual AGM, but I don't want to dish out too much money. I'd probably pick up pious legwraps and go wrynn over sylvanas for the rings.



As far as naming your character goes, that's something that should be done by you. I think a name loses it's meaning when you ask other's what to name a toon.

Seal of sylvanas + Wrynn is the best ring set up for a mage
