==Class Advisors==

You should bring any questions or issues with the class and any of its various specs to us.



==Level 80 Stat Requirements==

All prospective raiding mages must have their spec reviewed by their class advisor before they can be approved for raider status.

Build/Specs requirements for raiding are to achieve max spell hit.
Early gear requirements is to achieve that task.



**Note that the following requirements are for level 80 raids and are tuned for game mechanics as of content patch 3.2. Updated raid requirements will be posted when new content has been fully tested by class advisors. Until this time, guild progression runs will be invite-only, at the discretion of the Raid Master.**


The following are the raiding requirements for all mages. Each spec has its own spell damage requirements as well as required talent tree outlines. These talent outlines become more and more important the higher the raid. Please refer to the forum links for other mage information. If you have any questions about talents or any of the requirements, feel free to look me up in game or in vent (Tralus/Terak).

You must have all of the above talents if you choose to raid as one of those specs. Those talents are non-negotiable and must haves for raiding. There are plenty that are useful but not necessary, hence why I left them out. Points other than the ones listed are yours to spend as you choose.


*Note: Spell damage is an approximate number and can be evaluated by a mage class adviser or raid leader if a potential raid member is close to the required number.


Raid Consumables: The following consumables are required for every raid. Most if not all of the below items can be made in guild.

40 Arcane Dust for AI buffing and Ritual of Refreshment
5 Flask Of the Frost Wyrm
1 stacks (5) Runic Healing Potion
1 stacks (5) Runic Mana Potion
1 Stack of (20) Firecracker Salmon


Against raid bosses the order of importance is hit (until you reach the cap), spell haste/spell damage, and crit.

Spell Hit required is dependant on build and talents chosen. Read this link to understand the importance of reaching hit cap and what you require as a mage dependant on spec and setup.
