Fire Mage PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Fire Mage in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats as well, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets to optimize your gameplay..
This page is part of our Fire Mage PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Fire Mages in PvP
The stat priority for Fire Mage in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Haste;
- Versatility;
- Critical Strike;
- Mastery.
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.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
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.

Recommended Trinkets
Note: it is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will increase your
Agility and Stamina, as well as reducing the duration of any incoming
CC on you by 10%. This effect jumps to 15% if you have the correct crafted
item, in
our case Infurious Binding of Gesticulation. As well as this crafted
piece, you will also want to acquire the second crafted piece
Infurious Legwraps of Possibility.
Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is typically 1 of 2 trinkets to have
equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself.
You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and
in danger of dying. Note, as of Dragonflight, previously,
Eternal Gladiator's Relentless Brooch has
been removed, adding the CC reduction functionality
to the new 2-set bonus.
Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and has a
1-minute
cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you
activate a powerful cooldown; this is typically the go-to trinket for Fire,
pairing extremely well with
Combustion.
Crimson Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used.
This
gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will attack you
often.
Crimson Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a
chance to proc your primary stat. This is a strong trinket, as the stat will
often proc throughout an arena match.
Gems and Enchants
Here are the best enchants for a Fire Mage:
- Bracers:
Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Speed
- Boots:
Enchant Boots - Plainsrunner's Breeze
- Cloak:
Enchant Cloak - Homebound Speed
- Chest:

- Rings:
