Fire Mage Stat Priority

Versatility (25%) > Haste > Mastery > Critical Strike

Our main focus for our stats should be on Versatility. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 25%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.

Beyond this stat, Haste will be our second most important stat. Haste is great since it makes our casts quicker, makes our Ignite tick faster, and reduces the global cooldown. This allows us to land Crowd Control easier at the right times, assisting us with creating pressure or to peel for your team more often.

After that, you’ll be focusing on Mastery, which is technically your Ignite. If you aren’t familiar with how Ignite works, this takes a percentage of your direct damage and converts it into a periodic DoT. You will be naturally spreading Ignite to multiple targets thanks to Fire Blast.

By applying Mastery to your gear, this makes your Ignite damage stronger, supplementing your throughput.

Followed by Mastery, Critical Strike is your least favored stat and should be avoided during your gearing process.

2-Hander Weapon:

1-Hander Weapons:

There is no concise winner in terms of which weapon is better, and is based on what you prefer the most. We suggest picking up crafted weapons in order to min-max your secondary stats, but you can still utilize our conquest weapons we obtain for free to help with our gearing process.

Trinkets

When it comes to trinkets, we are pairing up with Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity in almost every game. This adds some static Haste that will benefit us in our stat priority, while occasionally proccing for a considerable boost to our primary stat.

You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 2 minutes.

As an alternative, you can choose Forged Gladiator’s Emblem instead of Insignia for some temporary HP boost in cases where you are guaranteed to be the kill target. This can more promising into setup based matchups, such as RMP or Jungle Cleave.

Best Fire Mage Embellishments

Both embellishments are solid enhancements to our toolkit, however Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension has an upper hand out of the two with its constant flow of secondary stats throughout a game. Even though this embellishment can be RNG dependent at times in terms of proccing the most effective secondary stats, this can contribute a good amount to our consistent damage and even our burst windows if we are lucky enough.

Alternatively, if you would rather use our conquest weapon instead of a crafted version, Elemental Focusing Lens embellishment is quite nice to have as it helps us with our consistent throughput. Make sure to have at least 1 gem equipped for this embellishment to work.

This embellishment occasionally deals damage from a specific school of magic based on the gem you equip. Keep in mind that the damage from this embellishment can’t be buffed by cooldowns, talents, or any damage bonuses from school types.

Best Fire Mage Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Quick Sapphire

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

As Versatility and Haste are your best secondary stats, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, which acts almost identical to the Precognition Embellishment from Dragonflight.

For all gem slots, we will use Quick Sapphire, giving us a minor Versatility boost while weaving in additional Haste to make increase our throughput.

Best Fire Mage Enchants

Cloak: Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
Chest: Crystalline Radiance
Bracers: Chant of Armored Speed
Legs: Sunset Spellthread
Boots: Scout’s March
Rings: Radiant Haste or Radiant Versatility
Weapon: Authority of Radiant Power
