Mage PvP Specs

• Arcane PvP: Lots of damage, very squishy.
• Fire PvP: Lots of damage, better mobility, crit dependent. Still squishy.
• Frost PvP: Lots of survivability and CC, less sustained damage.

All mages in PvP will use the same basic stat priority:

• 4% hit > 195 Spell Penetration > Intellect
• Crit, Haste, and Mastery will depend on spec.
• The Value of Resilience depends on your game, that is… how much you are the center of enemy attentions.

Gems

• Gem for Int and ignore socket bonuses.
• Grab two +50 (or +63) spell penetration gems.
• Gem for Resilience if you feel that you need more.

Enchants

• Same as gems, enchant for Int. Cloak enchant for spell penetration
