Fire Mage DPS Season of Discovery Best in Slot
These lists assume a stat priority of:
Spell Hit > Spell / Fire / Frost Damage > Spell Crit > Intellect > Stamina > Spirit
For more information on the stats that you should be looking for, check out the stats page listed below.
To help with presentation clarity, items that have Alliance and Horde versions with similar acquisition methods but different names will only have one of the versions listed in the tables below.
Phase Best in Slot
Blackwing Lair (Phase 5) Fire Mage Best in Slot
Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt and Frostfire Bolt, getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell damage gear!
Molten Core (Phase 4) Fire Mage Best in Slot
Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt and Frostfire Bolt, getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell damage gear!
