Arcane Mage best in slot

MoP ClassicPhase 3Siege of OrgrimmarRanged DPS

Notes

Mastery matters most for Arcane: gem Intellect and Mastery and pick Mastery as secondary stat.

Sinister Primal Diamond is the legendary meta gem from the quest line of Wrathion.

The drops are the 25-player Heroic versions; Normal and Flex have the same items at a lower item level.
