Re: [WotLK] Whats the level 80 pve spec for mages?
If you are new to raiding/80, go FFB spec and stack hit until capped and then skip spellpower and go directly into Crit stats, including gemming and chanting into it.
"Crit, you say?" Not because it's top dps, or even good for your OWN dps, but because your arcane mages will love you stacking scorches and being an awesome crit to focus magic on. This would be the most benefit you can do for the raid dps as a whole. Your scorch buff literally adds at least 3% more overall raid DPS to a single target, that's likely more than one person can do alone when you factor in the base 1500-2000dps you're doing (being unlucky on crits), you'll be bringing about 4k-6k dps into the raid - and the best benefit for your guild. Whisper your raid leader that you're stacking scorches and you'll also be guaranteed an invite if they know what they're doing.
Once you get geared, join the ranks of the arcane mages regem your crit to spellpower and let the 'new guy' do the scorching for a while.
BTW, slightly off-topic... I highly advise having at least one frost DK in every raid that you have totw arcane mages in. |
