mage tailoring and bloodvine set bonus

Recommended Posts

hello guys, i am planning to roll a mage and i am thinking if i'd pick tailoring or not. i already got a lock with 300 tailoring so the only reason i can think of to level tailoring to 300 again on my mage is the bloodvine set bonus. so the question is simple, i know that bloodvine set is bis pre-raid but by which items it is being replaced ? is it mc / bwl gear or aq/naxx? even if the bloodvine set is replaced in aq/naxx which would make it kinda good is the set bonus so good to farm tailoring up to 300 again (i'd rly like to avoid it). i am playing on darrowshire pve btw just saying so you can understand at which content i play.

tyvm for your time and your answers:)

If you have access to tear, go full t2, get cloak of consumption, get the ZG ring set (replace by ring of the godslayer and Band of forced concentration), get 1h+jindo offhand (replace by aq 40 acolyte staff > aq20 hit sword). You will notice that through the 10% chance on an instant cast, you will almost as much DPS as a full bis geared mage while having a bigger aoe range, better stats on your gear and less competition for rare bis items, which means you will be geared faster. Another plus is that you have less items in your bags. To be fair, the latter point is only real benefit if you have a bad bagspace management or if you intend to farm tons of blessed wizard oils (they are bop) in the pre naxx event.

I often run raids in full t2 and if you are focused you should be able to outdps or be even with others who have better gear. For fire, the t2 proc is 50% of a fireball cast time saved, but you will pyroblast when the proc is active, so you get roughly an extra >600 damage per proc. Additionally the t2 proc also increases the ignite uptime chance. For Frost it is only 40% of a frostbolt, which should also be around >600 damage bonus.
