WotLK Phase 4 Mage Best in Slot Gear Guide

By Shirley Huang2023-10-27

In WotLK Classic Phase 4, having the Best in Slot (BiS) gear is crucial for maximizing your character's performance.

 

There are different BiS lists for different classes and specs, depending on their stat priorities and playstyles. For example, a Fire Mage would look for items that have high spell power, hit rating, critical strike rating, and haste rating, as these stats will increase your damage output, casting speed, and spell hit chance, while a Protection Warrior would look for items that have high stamina, armor, defense rating, and dodge rating.

 

Depending on your spec, you may prefer different types of gear. You can also use Wrath Classic gold to buy gear upgrades to strengthen yourself. For example, Fire Mages benefit more from critical strike rating and haste rating, while Arcane Mages benefit more from spell power and hit rating.
