RECOMMENDED GEAR · RETAIL · MIDNIGHT SEASON 2

Arcane Mage: recommended gear (SimulationCraft)

For every slot: the item from SimulationCraft’s raid profile for Arcane Mage in Midnight Season 2 (patch 12.1.5), with the raid boss, dungeon or profession it comes from. Hover an item for details.

The selection comes from SimulationCraft’s raid profile for this specialization – a typical, strong gear set that the SimC developers maintain for simulations. It is no guarantee for “best in slot”: what helps your character most depends on stats, item level, talents and the fight – best simulate it yourself. Item level, gems and enchants are not shown here. Alternatives are the differing items of the hero talent variants of the same profile.

Adds the recommended item of each slot to the loot database wishlist (stored in your browser only).
