Frost Mage PvP: 103 – Gearing for PvP

Now that you have and understanding of some of the basics of Frost Mage PvP, and know what stats to aim for, you need to gear yourself for PvP. But where to start?
In Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard has given players many ways to obtain PvP gear. The obvious way is to PvP. Participate [...]

New Upgrade: The Turning Tide

I haven’t done one of these posts in awhile since there wasn’t any gear worth mentioning, but this one deserves one. The current best in slot weapon for Mages (and a few other casters) is in my possession. Plus it looks pretty damn cool too!

[The Turning Tide] drops off of Kel’Thuzad, the final boss in [...]

Mage PvP Gear: Season 5

While I was on an honor farming spree last week to upgrade my PvP gear, I made frequent visits to various sites, and took note of which gear is out there that I could acquire. I took note of how much honor or emblems I needed to help plan out what my goal was to [...]

Doing an Insane Amount of Honor Farming

After my failure of a Season 5 Arena debut last week, I made it a mission to replace all my level 70 PvP gear, and to make sure I’m prepared for next time. I had plenty of time during the day Saturday and Sunday to work with. I would farmed more honor if stuff like [...]

A Totally Different Mage in 10 Days

If you can remember, not even 3hrs after hit the Wrath of the Lich King level cap of 80, I was already thrown into the world of raiding again, and had already started picking new gear. Pretty much every 25 man raid I attended this last almost two weeks, I’ve picked up a new piece [...]

A Quick Look at Quest Rewards for Wrath

To assure more readers that Wrath Won’t Replace All Your Epics, here is a look at some of the quest rewards you will be seeing as you level up in Northrend.

The first two areas of Northrend is Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord, both are starting areas which are for players levels 68-72. These zones are [...]

Wrath Won’t Replace All Your Epics

With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion just around the corner, many players are afraid of getting their hard earned gear replaced by green drops. Players have stopped raiding because, “What’s the difference? Wrath is coming out soon.”

Fear not, your Purples won’t be replaced with quest Greens right away when you step into Northrend. [...]

My Arena Gear Setup

My Arena Gear setup is somewhat different from what most Arena experts would expect. Instead of stacking Stamina and Resilience like a good little Mage, I opted for more quick and destructive approach. So far it has proven to work in 2v2 and 3v3 quite nicely.

At a quick glance, you would see I have Season [...]

New Upgrade: Cowl of the Illidari High Lord

Shredder of the Foot Clan
I was the last caster in the raid to finally grab the [Cowl of the Illidari High Lord], so when it dropped, I was the only person who needed it. So I was able to get the helm for the minimal amount of DKP.
Not a huge upgrade over the T6 Helm, [...]

New Upgrade: Amulet of Unfettered Magics

I got a new neck piece last night in the Sunwell Plateau raid. The neck piece that I replaced was the [The Sun King's Talisman] which is a quest reward which starts from turning in the [Verdant Sphere] which Kael’thas drops when you defeat him at Tempest Keep. That neck piece lasted me all of [...]

New Upgrade: Heart of the Pit

After waiting patiently for Brutallus to drop a few times, and letting the Shadow Priests get first dibs on their best Off-Hand (according to shadowpriest.com), I finally got mine. It wasn’t a HUGE upgrade for me, so I had no problems waiting. But now, I have my very own [Heart of the Pit].
My [Chronicle of [...]

New Upgrade: Shoulderpads of Knowledge’s Pursuit

We went back and killed the Eredar Twins again this week. And the loot keeps on rolling on in for me. Another [Shaw of Wonderment] dropped along with a really nice caster necklace, [Amulet of Unfettered Magics]. I lost the bid for the necklace to a Shadow Priest.
The shoulders however, nobody wanted. All the Caster [...]

New Upgrade: Sunfire Handwraps

I finally farmed (and bought) the materials needed to craft my [Sunfire Handwraps]. I farmed enough to get two Shadowcloth transmutes, then I got really lazy and bought the rest of the mats. I ended up spending over 800 gold, but it was worth it. 
The gloves are a real big upgrade for me. It was also nice that I was [...]
