Arcane Mage Stats, Races and Consumables Guide

Stat Ranking

Spellslinger

For Spellslinger, the stats are shifting around based on the amount of arcane surge procs we get from Time Anomaly. We devalue mastery more, so the stats are going to look like this:

Haste - Vers/Crit - Mastery

Mastery has lost a lot of value since patch 11.0.5, but I still recommend simming yourself for the best result.

Sunfury

For Sunfury, we want to follow this stat guideline:

Haste > Mastery > Crit > Vers

For Alliance, I recommend Night Elf or Dwarf or Void Elf. They are all reasonably close, so choose whichever you prefer. For M+ i would heavily recommend dwarf since its racial Stoneform is very useful in many scenarios

For Horde, I recommend Troll or Orc or Tauren
