I am working on making couple sets of gears. These set of gear are not from raid dungeon. At the same time, I am not touching any of the crafted items or EoF badge items. This a gear guild for people who want to be cheap and willing to run multiple dungeon.
Enchantment and gemming choices will be base on Swizzle's guild in MMO-Champion: http://www.mmo-champion.com/class-ma...-mage-pve-faq/. Also because of the limited socket, I had to choose a couple purple gem for red sockets, to active the Meta. If you need me to change a couple gems or enchantment, tell me without doing any flaming. Also I choose to not pick what spec since some talent give hit rating. This just before talent and before raid.
Dungeon/2nd rank Badges:
The gears I am using are found in ToC (N/H) and Frozen Halls (Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection). Because these bosses drop EoT, I choose to buy one of the trinket from the EoT badge vendor, Talisman of Resurgence. A huge note for those who said why there is no T9 set, hold on until the third set of gears.
This is 219 gears set, it hold ToC (N/H) gears and Frozen Halls (N).
219 gears set info
Gears:
Head: Tattered Glacial-Woven Hood
Necklace: Coil of Missing Gems
Shoulder: Frayed Abomination Stitching Shoulders
Back: Cloak of the Fallen Cardinal
Chest: Palebone Robes
Wrist: Wristguards of Subterranean Moss
Hands: Marwyn's Macabre Fingertips
Belt: Essence of Anger
Legs: Rimewoven Silks
Feets: Ice-Steeped Sandals
Ring #1: Sinner's Confession
Ring #2: Spiteful Signet
Wand: Coffin Nail
Trinket #1: Abyssal Rune
Trinket #2: Talisman of Resurgence
Ok, this is the 219 weapon choices. Comparing Chilled Heart of the Glacier, Unspeakable Secret, and Splintered Icecrown Parapet. Because there is no offhand in both ToC (N/H) and Frozen Halls (N), I would choose Unspeakable Secret.
You could take a wand from EoT badge vendor, Brimstone Igniter, and not use any of the wands I listed.
Since Abyssal Rune and Talisman of Resurgence are still good that I putting them into the second set and third set of gears.
Second set of gears take items from Frozen Halls (N/H). (Hold on for the T9 set)
232 gears set info
Gears:
Head: Sightless Crown of Ulmaas
Necklace: Arcane Loops of Anger

Trinket #2: Talisman of Resurgence
Ok, now there is a offhand. This is the comparing list of weapon that have 232 item lvl. The offhand is Shriveled Heart. The weapon choice are Surgeon's Needle, Seethe, and Engraved Gargoyle Femur. I like Seethe+Shriveled Heart or Engraved Gargoyle Femur, one of the two is fine by me.
(note: If you want matching set, you need to get Cold Sweat Grips to match above set: Frozen Halls' Blue Cloth Set, it look cool with Engraved Gargoyle Femur )
Last set before you have to do some raiding to get better gear. I am trying to pick what would be a good off piece or just all T9 (232). I have to choose head or shoulder.
Can someone pick which one and the other one will be T9?
Here is the build without the head or shoulder. (will edit once someone pick the head or shoulder)
232 with T9
