Fire Mage PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight 10.2)

The stat priority for Fire Mage in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Haste;
3. Versatility;
4. Mastery;
5. Critical Strike;

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Haste is the best stat to be stacking as a Mage. This reduces the cast time of important abilities like Polymorph. Versatility is the second-best stat to have. This reduces the damage you take and increases the overall damage you deal. With talents like Glass Cannon, stacking some Mastery can allow you to deal significant damage through Mastery: Ignite dot during a match.

In general, Fire Mages want to get trinkets that line up well with Combustion. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Intellect. The reason you want to increase Intellect is because it drastically increases your overall damage output. Please refer to our dedicated page for more information about Combustion and your rotation in PvP.
