Best Professions for Mage in WoW TBC
In The Burning Crusade, gathering professions give almost no combat bonus, so nearly every Mage runs two crafting professions — each granting a self-only bonus of roughly equal power. The best pair depends on your spec and role. Here is the recommended pairing for each Mage build.
The Spellfire set is a top Phase 1–2 caster DPS set and enchanting both rings stacks free spell power onto your Arcane Blasts.
Spellfire's spell damage feeds your crit-fishing, and a spellpower enchant on both rings adds guaranteed damage.
Cloth caster sets plus both-ring enchants push spell power for PvE, while the extra survivability stats help in PvP.
