Stat Priority
Stats are crucial attributes that influence a character's power in World of Warcraft. They determine the character's strength and overall playstyle. Stat bonuses can be found on various equipment pieces, consumables created by Alchemy, certain foods, some enchantments, and gems.
Each stat experiences diminishing returns once its equipped bonus reaches +20%. Optimizing a character's performance involves finding a balanced distribution. Here is how Spellsteál's Secondary and Minor stats are distributed:
Secondary Stats
- Haste
- Versatility
- Mastery
- Critical Strike
Minor Stats
- Speed
- Avoidance
- Leech
Class Talents
Talents are the main element defining a character's build, significantly influencing playstyle by adding, modifying, and enhancing abilities and behaviors. They are crucial in shaping how a character functions in battle.
Class talents represent a common tree shared across all Mage specializations. These talents provide foundational skills and enhancements essential to the Mage class. They offer a range of abilities that lay the groundwork for a Mage's overall capabilities.
Specialization Talents
Specialization talents provide Arcane Mages with unique abilities and enhancements tailored to their combat style.
Hero Talents
Hero talents allow deeper customization of the Arcane Mage class fantasy, enhancing character builds.

PvP Talents
PvP talents are tailored for player-versus-player combat scenarios. Activated in arenas, battlegrounds, and the open world with war mode enabled, these talents optimize a Arcane Mage's performance in PvP encounters. They provide specialized enhancements that give players an edge in combat against other players, reflecting the unique demands of PvP gameplay.
Gear
Gear consists of items that directly determine a character's power level. It can be acquired from various sources: dungeons, raids, world drops, crafted through professions, obtained from PvP vendors, or chosen as rewards from the Great Vault.
Each piece of gear significantly boosts a character's overall strength and capabilities. Here is Spellsteál's gear for each equipment slot:
Shoulders
Ring 1
Ring 2
Trinket 2
Main Hand
Antique Bronze Bullion
Antique Bronze Bullion serves as a specialized currency in The War Within Pre-Patch, enabling players to purchase specific items. Each item costs 2 bullions and can be upgraded to its maximum Mythic level.
Given that the acquisition of bullions is limited to 1 per week from defeating raid bosses and 2 from the Weekly Mythic Dungeons quest reward when available, here are the items selected by Spellsteál.
Embellishments
Embellishments are unique effects associated with crafted items, either as predefined elements in a recipe or added with an optional embellishment reagent, creating embellished gear. These enhancements diversify and amplify characters' capabilities.
Given that only a maximum of two embellished items can be equipped at a time, here are Spellsteál's embellishments:
Enchantments
Enchantments provide minor yet valuable enhancements to various items, including Back, Chest, Wrist, Legs, Rings, Feet, Main Hand, and Off Hand.
Most enchantments are crafted via the Enchanting profession. However, Legs enhancements are crafted by Leatherworkers.
Enchantments are usually available at the auction house, making them accessible for upgrades. Here are the specific enchantments chosen by Spellsteál for each equipment slot:
Back
Chest
Wrist
Waist
Legs
Ring 1
Ring 2
Main Hand
Gems
Gems are crafted stones from the Jewelcrafting profession, typically offering stat bonuses to enhance your gear and balance character stats as a final touch. These gems can be socketed into specific items such as Head, Neck, Wrist, Waist, and Rings.
Even though the presence of sockets on these items is usually random upon their drop, neck pieces can be uniquely modified to have up to three sockets by using three Tiered Medallion Setting . Additionally, a single socket can be added to other eligible items with an Eye of Awakening , which requires three Aspects' Tokens of Merit obtained from the Great Vault.
Available through both the auction house and the crafting order system, here are the gems currently socketed by Spellsteál:
