Mage Pre-Raid suggestions

Recommended Posts

Hi, I should hit 60 with my first mage quite soon and I thought I should do a nice pre-raid list. The purpose of this post was to list best items available out of raids, I also wanted to have multiple options since some of those are extremely hard to get. If the patch is not specified next to the item's name, then the item should already be available on Nighthaven. I thought this might be useful for fellow mages and I need your help to:

  • Get more suggestions
  • Tell me if I ranked them right
  • Tell me what patch they were added when there is the "unknown patch" label

Edit: I added all the classicDB links, please note that the stats given might be wrong depending on the patch you play on.

Nice list, here's a few more to add:

Head: Green Lens of Frozen Wrath +34/+36 frost spells and +10 stamina (245 engineering)

Neck: Tempest Talisan - Hydrospawn - DME 20% - +7 int, +6 spirit +1% crit

Back: multiple green cloaks from level 53-60 have +21 to frost spells

Hands: There are no green (random stat) of frozen wrath gloves. Gloves were fiery wrath. 

Waist: Just clarification. The Ban'thok sash drops now but is green with crap stats. I'm assuming existing ones will change to blue with the upgraded stats when the proper patch hits.

Finger: Frigid Band lvl 56 (world drop green) +10 int +14 frost dmg, Band of the Unicorn level 43 (world drop green) +13 dmg/healing

Enchants: Head/legs - Arcanum of Focus +8 spell dmg, Shoulders +5 resist all (purchased with Argent Dawn faction), Chest: also 100 mana, Waist: none is correct

Which site shows the drop rate percentages by type (like frozen wrath)? I know there used to be some way back but I haven't found any.

One note on that, your guide says like 7% chance + .1% chance on the Atal'ai gloves for example. Just want to make sure it's clear these are two independent rolls. The first roll is to see if the gloves drop and that's a 7% chance (per mini boss right? So there's like 6 or so chances per run). Then it rolls for stats and that's the 0.1% for frozen wrath meaning there's a 1 in 7000 chance (per mini boss) of getting the frozen wrath gloves. Such a long shot I don't recommend anyone ever trying to "farm" them.

K, I added every single link to classicdb and some more items, dull work is dull.

I used the DB of Rising Gods TLK server, but information there might be inaccurate since it's the same website I got the gloves of frozen wrath from : https://db.rising-gods.de/?item=10214

Better than nothing tho, I yes, getting those gloves should only be a matter of chance while doing ST for leveling or something. Actually farming them is almost crazier than farming Deathcharger's Reins since finding groups for ST is already a pain in the ass.
