Fire Stats

[TheBigT]

Im right now leveling my Fire Mage and i was thinking on what stat or stats to really focus on. Haste, crit, int, spirit?

[Deleted]

int - hit - crit imo

[TheBigT]

What about mastery?

[nimryas]

Mastery sucks for fire mages, crit has proven to increase our dps more per point then mastery does

[berenzen]

Never stack mastery, and if you can, reforge it to hit(until cap), or crit, it goes Int>Hit (until cap)>Crit>Mastery=Haste>Hit (after cap)

[Chaoslux]

Mastery is better than Haste after you have 5.5% And you are sure to have a source of 5% haste all the time, if you dont, Haste to 10.5%.
Int and Hit till cap are obvious no brainers. Crit is king as far as secondaries go.

Never ever get Spirit. A Ret Paladin socketing Spellpower get more use out of it than a mage socketing spirit.
