WOTLK Season 8 Mage PvP BiS Gearing Guide 

yo bro can you maybe link me the talents for frost mage in 2v2 when playing rogue mage? ty

You can use the standard mage frost build and should be good. It's also solid for 1v1 duels which you'll find yourself in a lot. But here's the damage-focused build I spec into when doing RM 2v2: www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent-calc/mage/23032023000203--3503003311203100232142231051 @@snkxo4875

There's some fire gear in the description, I haven't released a fire vid since season 6 but the gameplay is more or less the same after playing it last season.

For horde? The 264 resil trinket is pretty much the way. Too much overall stat loss using the wintergrasp trinket. Even as RM survivability is a huge deal. If you have full PvP gear and no haste options from ICC, you could probably wear the WG trinket then while you're gearing up still.

For sure man, go for the budget list in the description. You can still have a great time in BGs while you wait for cata!

You bet. It's all about the double trinket selection in the final season. Even swapping I'm bauble, battlemaster, etc.

Fire/DiscPriest is the only comp that I know works in 2s with Fire. In 3s, you got Volcano Cleave (Mage/Ele/Pally) and War/Mage/Pally. Good luck friend!

Oh this is my bad, ill have to adjust the sets a little bit. I thought you could grab it with Sidereal Essence but was wrong!

I was about to say... I looked at that vendor for a good 15 minutes looking for it@@MegaphoneTV

Hey dude, you're pretty much on the right track here. Either you grab the penetration wand and re-gem a little bit, or you swap enough Blues over to +25 so you can hit the magic number around 130, or you grab the offhand and get real creative with gemming. It shouldn't make a big difference either way in the scheme of things

@@MegaphoneTV cheers bud! Yeah I got it man! Thanks ;) just needed confirmation from a guy like you :p keep up the good work! 🤘🏻🫡

Horde? Trinket + Solace. Ally? Solace + [DFO, Bauble, or Scale of Fates]

I think so, lotta long matches in there. You could also run a dps trinket if matches are going FAST when you queue.

It has some issues, it can break CC for example. Just not very consistent as opposed to guaranteed on-use haste or massive Mp5.

Oh, does it procc on random targets too, because I'd assume from the working it wouldnt trigger on a sheep only on offensive hits. Is there any other trinket you'd recommend then?@@MegaphoneTV

Depends on what you're playing and what faction you're on!@@Jygflow

Fire pretty much at its peak right around season 7-8. It requires solace equipped at all times. Fire is pretty solid in 5s. Can play ele/mage/x in 3s or mage/lock/sham or war/mage/Pally. Not much to do in 2s except play with a disc priest.

oh its on his peak now? ppl were saying it gets worse in s8 bcs of how much resil enemies gonna have

@mikhex2000 yep pretty much! People have been high resil for a while now so it's not a major factor. Fire just needs that mana regen badly and solace was the key.

It's an addon called SpellNotifications!

Eh don't sweat it dude. Just run the same trinkets as Horde does (they're different for fire and frost so check!) Yeah it would be better if you were human. But only if you actually had a set of 2 trinkets, and even then you'll only need them to break through at a very high level. Racial bonuses won't stop you from getting to 2200 or even 2600 by the end of season - mostly your skill and matchup knowledge controls that!
