Hello fellow mages! Now that Chardev is down, I am assuming that most of you are going crazy looking for the best way to gear for S11! I have come to fill that void in your life

This will be a mastery build, so all of you mages that wish to use haste this season, this is not for you.

Some of the most important things are Hit Rating and Spell Pen.  I have found a way to obtain exactly 410 hit rating with the new gear, but it requires you to reforge the elite mainhand weapon and the elite offhand.  The new neck over-itemizes spell pen, but its not worth gemming it because you have to forfeit some int.

Head - PvP Helm, Int/Crit PvE Enchant, Int/Crit Damage Meta, Int Red
Neck - Spell Pen PvP
Shoulder - PvP Shoulders, Int/Resil PvP Enchant, Int/Mastery Gem
Back - Mastery PvP, +50 Int Enchant
Chest - PvP Chest Reforged to Mastery, +20 Stats Enchant, Int Gem, Int/Mastery Gem
Bracer - Mastery PvP, +50 Int Enchant
Gloves - PvP Gloves Reforged to Mastery, +65 Mastery Enchant, Int/Hit Gem
Waist - Crit PvP Belt Reforged to Hit, Int/Hit Gem, Int Gem
Legs - Heroic Firelands PvE, Int/Stam Enchant, 2 Int Gems
Feet - Crit PvP Reforged to Mastery, Mastery/Runspeed Enchant, Int/Mastery Gem
Ring - Crit PvP Reforged to Hit
Ring - Heroic Firelands Crystal Prison Band
Trinket - Cunning of the Cruel
Trinket - PvP On-Use Spellpower
Weapon - PvP 1Hander Reforged to Hit, Power Torrent Enchant
Offhand - PvP Crit Offhand Reforged to Hit, +40 Int Enchant
Wand - PvP Crit Wand Reforged to Mastery

In order to get 410 hit rating, this build requires epic gems and T2 weapon/offhand.

If you have any questions about what I chose or why, feel free to post them here so I can answer.

It's not BiS when there's no legendary

[Huppins]

wouldn't Cunning of the Cruel's AoE break CC, or do mages not cast poly anymore?

the aoe is only 10 yards, so its worth it to have that extra damage on the slight offchance that you sheep target will be close enough to your kill target

i personally dont like the legendary.  with the proc reduction, new weapons out having more spellpower, and the staff having hit/haste on it, the only time i can see the staff being better is when it procs while the target is actually frozen (aka not during FoF lance spam)

why wouldn't you just get the pvp belt with hit so you can reforge so much more mastery? also, i wouldn't use firelands gear at all this season, with the possible exception of the heroic firehawk legg untill you get the new tier legs with haste/mastery. alot of the stuff in this chardev is wrong imo

you cant get 410 hit rating using the hit belt. i checked all the numbers and this was the only way i could get exactly 410 hit rating. If you found another way, please share.  Also, im a firm believer that getting the right state is more important than getting more stats, which is why i picked the two pve pieces that i have listed with crit/mastery

12 ilvl isnt a big deal, especially when you are getting an item with crit/mastery instead of haste

12 ilevel isnt a big deal but overcapping hit slightly is?

so what is your reasoning for overcapping hit? what do you gain?

im not saying you should intentionally overcap hit, im saying you're missing out on alot of shit just to get the exact hit cap which is completly unnecassary
