Arcane Mage Stats, Races and Consumables Guide

Stat Ranking

As a general guide to look out for with stats on gear, our stat priorities for both specs are:

Haste > Vers > Mastery > Crit

These are all incredibly close and you still want a decent amount of all of them. We do not want to stack a singular stack past the stat reduction point.

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
