Less QQ, more pewpew ! Mage arena set new stats.

[Boubouille]

Update : New flasks ! They're using the same itemID as [item=22861] and [item=22866], we can assume that they're just upgraded.

Mages got their Arena Season 2 set changed. Less armor, more stats, more things. (Update : Added old stats as a comparison)

Nice flasks, what are the mats?

[saibiou]

Here are the mats :



These flasks replace the "old" flask of Shadow Fortification and Flask of Arcane Fortification.
I mean, i got these 2 recipes before the patch, and i got the 2 new ones on the PTR.

This makes senses because of the new flask of chromatic wonder which replace these 2 flasks, and because there weren't any BC flask for casters until now.

Since i'm there :

Boub, Here are the Flasks themselves in english... resize/crop if you can, I don't have any image editing software anymore.

Edit: Oh and they are direct replacements for Arcane and Shadow Fortification.

More QQ anyone? ;D

Why isn't Arcane with Fire in one Recipe, since both schools are together in the Sunfire-Enchant & Spellfire-Set?
Instead there is Shadow with Fire - some more WL love?

[Lonnara]

We have:
Shadow
Frost
Fire
Arcane
Holy
Nature

Holy and Shadow wont be together as well they wont get used together (smite priests dont need shadow, shadow priests cant use holy)
Flask1: Shadow
Flask2: Holy

shadow can pair with fire (locks)
Nature pairs with Arcane (oomkin, dont know bout shammy, never played them :\)
Fire can pair with frost or arcane (mage)
Frost can pair with fire or arcane (mage)
Arcane can pair with frost or fire (mage)

So mages having a love triangle kind of messes it up, so you cant use them as a flask(or every other class would QQ instead of the mages, majority rule?)
So we use combinations that fit: Nature/Arcane can fill out one with holy, shadow fire can match
Flask1: Shadow Fire
Flask2: Holy Nature Arcane

At this point Frost is left, It can pair with Fire and tailoring sets go shadow/frost (Weak argument on the 2nd part I know) and there is 1 slot left in one of the flasks
.
So you get the pairings.

Now this argument can get ripped to shreads, im not arguing either way, but just trying to show you the thought process behind it.

i prefer the armor set because the stats arent much better..
