Improve the mage above you

[Wh1teFyster]

to rickyb:

Assuming you're raiding as fire, your haste is a little high. Should get it down to 3059 for the first haste plateau (but don't be under that) and use the rest to rework to more crit/lower your hit a smidge. For most fire mages, using a pure crit gem will yield more overall dps than using a pure int (320 crit vs 160 int), so that is also something you could look into.

My Armory: battle'dot'net/wow/en/character/draenor/Dasbearbelly/advanced
^^Sorry, can't post links
I raid as frost for the most part, switching glyphs in and out as needed (Evocation in place of WE). I may reforge/gem to crit for fire for Elegon attempts however.

[Envyadams]

@Dasbearbelly idk much about frost but what i do is haste is king so as far as i see...your fine ^.^

Been after both upgrades available for pants for 8 days (16 times to drop) no dice so meh, doing decent dmg (hit capped i promise armory still not fixed) most fights im Fire with Scorch/Evo doing Elegon with RoP but staying to the same setup for the most part, Have a cpl cheap gems and still waiting on jade spirit and the int to bracer patterns to show up.

I keep hearing to go for haste for the extra tics but would have to sacrifice alot of crit to do so imo but if it improves my dps than sure i might try it out. Let me know

Oh man I can imagine your Fireball cast is like 2.20 isn't it? That's just horrible! If I were you I would go for more haste at this point.

Yea its pretty slow 2.12s i think but even with slow FB casts i seem to be doing ok on DMG here is a WoL on first 4 boss kills

I would love to get more haste but at the expense of losing crit? idk i barely get heating up procs to begin with! if someone could maybe do some numbers (i hate math ^.^) that shows dropping crit for haste will be better then i'll get on it.

I am not playing Frost, but as far as i know are mastery and haste the best stats.
So does it make sense to reforge mastery to haste?

Gemming red socket: U shouldt do red gems, use orange.

Your pretty much 100% good to go, I dont blame you for not putting a belt buckle in a blue heroic, its jsut not worth it.

I'm super jelly of ur tier bonus, as i only have the gloves. and you obviously have good luck with drops lol.

The things I would recommend to you would be to download the add-on reforgelite.

It perfects your reforging which I see a couple mistakes on. example would be, I see you have some reforged to haste, well crit > haste, but I'm sure u reforged it to haste because crit is already on the item. I understand that. but reforgelite will swap all of your reforging around so you wont have to reforge that to haste, and instead make it crit.

Other than that, your fine. I can't judge on talents or anything, although I hope you use scorch on movement fights.

EDIT: Take expertise enchant off ur gloves, your able to have enough hit to get hit capped. no sense in have exp on there.

Definately work towards that hit cap, I'd try putting precision on your boots maybe, plus reforging to more hit instead of crit.


My character is Asaelia on Argent Dawn. Apparently I need to post more to be able to put links in.

[DarksorrowDave]

I am new to playing mage any tips for me
davonna from darksorrow. carnt post the link as i am new to the forum.

[Windry]

A lot of the mages here are doing a really good job using a mix of expertise and hit on their reforging. I'm curious, what addon/website are you guys using? I used to use Reforgelite, but I just can't seem to get it to understand that I want a cap of 5100 = Hit+Expertise

Check your reforges. Remember that expertise is hit for us. You can get to 14,99 % HIT and almost 3 % more crit with correct gems, reforges and enchants.
Askmrrobot seems to be working rather well

also: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...eador/advanced (in my PVP / questing specc atm)

[Deleted]

There is not much to improve there Jawew. You almost hit the crit and haste plateau, but I believe that you can achieve it by getting a better shoulder from M.V, so no need for more reforges with what I see you currently have equipped.

Oh and I've tried Askmrrobot, but it always makes me reforge into too much hit.
This is my armory http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...iarah/advanced

[Abraxis]

Looks good.

Just some little points.
I wouldnt gem pure red for pvp.
Gem Int + PvP Power if socket bonus is PvP Power.

If socket bonus isn't PvP-Power just gem pure blue Pvp Power everywhere.

Maybe Ring of Frost instead of Frostjaw, but thats just a thougt.

Ye that was my spec for pvp outside orgrimmar as I capped my weekly CP xD.
I also downloaded and used reforgelite addon, it's the best thing I;ve used in a while. It reforges perfectly @ the stats.

Windry: When I had to reforge into expertise, I would start off by first reforging all gear with the lowest valued stat (mastery, except for arcane) into expertise. I then would total up all the expertise I had, and subtract that value from 5100. The resulting value is the number I would use in Reforgenator (I'm assuming reforgelite is similar). Hope this helps.

Edit: If even doing this you're still coming up short, you can move on to reforging your second lowest valued stat (SLVS) into expertise. Start with pieces of gear that have hit/SLVS. Then you would follow the same process as above. This secondary process provides a lot of flexibility in your hit rating....if after all "reforged and done" you are at 15.15% hit, and you don't want to waste that full .15%, you can play with which pieces have expertise reforged on them, to try and knock down that "wasted" hit a bit.

Note: Will be race changing to goblin (once maintenance ends) as I'm finding Touch of the Grave not to be entirely worth it.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
