Drops from various MC bosses/mobs. Not an amazing set by any standards. Slightly heavy on stats (low on spellpower compared to other non-set gear of the same tier).

In my opinion, not bad for mages, but not good either. Right now I'm topped at 426 spellpower (keeping above 3k life and 5k mana). I still have a few blues as well, and some of them aren't even that good (Although I just love my "The Hexxer's Cover" - blue cloth helm - 41 spellpower - Looks badass too.

Taking the Belt, Crown, and Robes just for the FR isn't a bad idea, especially considering they have the higher values on dmg and also confer the 3 piece 18 dmg bonus.

Commento di Josh

The base int, spirit, stam, crit, and spell dmg are as follows with gear upgrades:

Arcanist
- Intellect: 160 (2400 mana)
- Spirit: 72
- Stamina: 109 (1090 health)
- Critical: 2
- Damage: 128

Netherwind
- Intellect: -1 (-15 mana)
- Spirit: -3
- Stamina: 7 ( 70 mana)
- Critical: 1
- Damage: 76

Frostfire (from Netherwind)
- Intellect: 8 ( 120 mana)
- Spirit: -20
- Stamina: 36 ( 360 health)
- Critical: 1
- Damage: 79

Frostfire (from Arcanist)
- Intellect: 7 ( 105 mana)
- Spirit: -23
- Stamina: 43 ( 430 health)
- Critical: 2
- Damage: 155

For a mage, intellect at level 60 is 286 (4290 mana)
Total Intellect with...
- Arcanist: 446 (6690 mana)
- Netherwind: 445 (6675 mana)
- Frostfire: 453 (6795 mana)

Commento di Wedmark

I'll rather go for rank 10 set and some random spell damage thingys than spending dkp on this set, really.

If I got time I'll aim for rank 14 then I won't have to take items until Blackwing Lair. :]

Commento di Necrotic

Best plan as a mage in MC / Ony / AQ20 / ZG. Is to go for:

3 piece Arcanist
2 piece ZG
3 piece PvP

This is mainly for the set bonuses. As fillers (or in some cases upgrades) you can go for Netherwind Helm + Pants, some AQ20 drops, & the BG Rewards.

Main point being you really shouldn't go for more then 3 pieces of Arcanist as there are much better options Pre BWL / AQ40 / Naxx.

Commento di Josh

Well, in my opinion, I like damage gear. On my mage, I have gear such as Gloves of the Hypnotic Flame, Mana Igniting Cord, Choker of the Fire Lord, and other gear like that. I have no BWL gear yet on my mages, but I am next in line for Mish'undare, Staff of the Shadow Flame, Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal, and Bindings of Arcane Accuracy. I have all MC gear and my +dmg is at 400! With full Arcanist I'm only at about 270 =/

Commento di 6764

unfortunately, this is one of the worst tier 1 sets when compared to the blues available over the 5man instances and especially the revamped rare pvp armor. just go for resistance and the 3 piece bonus if your guild's raiding progress dictates that.

Commento di kreghx

not really worth the set , if you go for dps you better go non-set items

Commento di skelemence

Total armour is 666^^

It's an alright set for AoE grinding with the +hit and mana regen but with TBC you can get all the amazing greens, Arcanist remains a nice antiques set :)

Commento di Daimore

This used to be a good set back before TBC. Not worth the effort now that almost any drop from Outland is better than a Tier 1, maybe even Tier 2.

Commento di 47076

All set gives 666 armor xD LOL!

Tier 1 pieces = All in MC.
Tier 2 pieces = Helm (Onyxia) Legs (Ragnaros) Rest in BWL.

Commento di Thottbot

FYI There will be new +dmg set bonuses for the 3 and 5 set pieces, giving this set the dmg it was lacking.

Commento di Thottbot

@ Heavenz

whoopidoo.. +18 Spell Damage and 10 Spell Penetration.

This set will still suck after 1.9.

Commento di Thottbot

LOL

Commento di Thottbot

gotdamn nice picture ! :P

Commento di Thottbot

8 pieces now give:
+2% crit
+1% hit
+146 all spell dmg
+11 mana/5s
-10 target's magical resistance
-15% threat

Commento di Thottbot

Wow - I am pretty impressed. Thanks to 1.9.3 this set finally is worth wearing it almost all the time.

Before 1.9.3 this set sucked for all mages (even frost). There was no good reason to wear that set but in cases where you needed mana and stats.
Now the improvements regarding spell dmg really make the set attractive even for fire mages.
Now I have +350 spelldmg with very nice stats (compared with 430 spelldmg of my dmg set).
So this set is really worth now for using it for boss fights and even in everyday life ^^

Commento di Thottbot

And believe it or not, you CAN cast Frostbolt without speccing frost.

raw statistics on netherwind/arcanist

The only major difference between the two is the +to spell damage... and if that's what you're all about then go with netherwind... if not, then choose the one thats bonuses fit you best. I hope my input has been of some help

Commento di Thottbot

You have to make sacrifices depending on what you want to do. Frost spec is awesome for PVE content while fire dishes out higher levels of damage.

Same reason why some rogues don't get imp sap so that they can spec differenty for PVP. You gotta compromise sometimes.

Commento di Thottbot

The mobs/bosses in MC except fire elementals, can receive most full fire damage if a warlock can keep CoE up. I am fire mage and I am usually the top 1 damage in MC among mages.

Commento di Thottbot

I combine 3pieces with random MC drops like mana igniting cord and robe of volatile power. This way you get even more +crit and spell dmg, than with arcanist.
What do u guys think of that?

Chest -> Golemagg

Legs -> Magmadar
Boots -> Lucifron
Bracer+Belt -> BoE off trash mobs

If your guild hits ZG regularly, spend your dkp on the really awesome epic drops in MC instead of Arcanist. Compare the Arcanist set to the three Illusionist set pieces from ZG:

Illusion Chest:
100 Armor
+23 Stamina
+24 Intellect
+27 spell dmg

Arcanist Chest:
102 Armor
+19 Stamina
+25 Intellect
+10 Spirit
+10 Fire Resistance
+23 spell dmg
---------------------
Illusionist Shoulder:
+10 Stamina
+21 Intellect
+12 spell dmg

Arcanist Shoulder:
76 Armor
+10 Stamina
+21 Intellect
+5 Spirit
+7 Shadow Resistance
+4 mana per 5 sec
+14 spell dmg
--------------------
Illusionist Wrist:
42 Armor
+11 Stamina
+11 Intellect
+14 spell dmg

Arcanist Wrist:
+8 Stamina
+15 Intellect
+6 Spirit
+3 mana per 5 sec
+12 spell dmg
--------------------
3 piece bonuses:

Illusionist:
2: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 12.
3: Decreases the mana cost of Arcane Intellect and Arcane Brilliance by 5%.

Arcanist:
3: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 18.

---------------------
Conclusion:
Obviously Arcanist is the preferrable set, but not by so much that anybody would lose out badly by taking the Illusionist set and supplementing it with things like the Mana Igniting Cord. Hopefully this can save somebody some dkp for buying truly epic-quality items instead of Arcanist pieces.

Commento di Thottbot

of course we all know that arcanist is crap compared to the NW set, but guess what? im pretty sure soem guilds havent even started BWL yet so they might only be able to get the pants(rag) and helm(ony) and thats it. so for being in a mc guild, this set IS pretty good for pre-bwl.

Commento di Thottbot

you cant pull agro with a firemage rofl that is a good one....dragon's breath, flamewave, arcane explosion, and fireblast....if that doesnt pull agro nothing will...i have a priest behind me pumping me with health and have a mana stone ready i can tank a few mobs easy. dont try and compare firemages and frostmages because since the patch came out i have +15% to fireball, +20% to all with 20% or less health, and 10% to all firespells....what did u get ...a frost elemental for a short time....yeah..woooo go have fun with that ... pyroblast with the increases come to 5313 on a 3.5 crit ....add in ignite which is 40% of that which is 2125 and the dot which is like 400... thats 7838 plus firemage trinket adds 100 spell damage to ur next firespell..so round 8000 in 6 sec....:D i beat ur frostbolt

Commento di Thottbot

Just when you thought you've gotten rid of your lousy T1, Outland throws them right back at you with reused graphics. Lo and behold, the Arcanist set will dominate the World of Warcraft and completely end variability in gear. Viva originality.

Commento di Thottbot

I wish mage gear had spirit still... /sigh

Commento di Kanariya

Original Arcanist Regalia 8-set bonuses.

Arcanist Regalia (Pre-1.5)
3 pieces: You have a 1% chance to regain mana any time you take damage.
5 pieces: Increases the duration of your Polymorph by 5.0 sec.
8 pieces: Increases the added fire damage of your Fireballs by 24 per period.
8 pieces: Your Frostbolts do 45 extra damage.
8 pieces: Increases the duration of your Arcane Missiles by 1.0 sec.

Arcanist Regalia (Pre 1.9.3)
3 pieces: Damage absorbed by Fire Ward and Frost Ward is increased by 10%.
5 pieces: Increases the duration of your Polymorph by 15 sec.
8 pieces: Decreases the threat generated by your spells by 15%.

Commento di Kanariya

This is seen as the meme set in Classic because of its overall low amount of spellpower and secondary stats (hit and crit), and this view is with 1.12 itemization.

Yet somehow it was an even worse set when vanilla launched, with some items having no spellpower at all, no stamina, heaps of intellect, and even agility. Here are the original stats from all 8-items, that you can compare to the above item summary.

1.2 Itemization Summary

47 Stamina
190 Intellect
23 Agility
116 Spirit
44 Fire Damage
20 Frost Damage
28 Arcane Damage
6 MP5
0% Spell Hit
1% Spell Crit
16 Arcane Resist
21 Fire Resist
17 Nature Resist
16 Frost Resist
16 Shadow Resist

So overall, this set gained up to 108 spellpower (or 126 with the new 3-set) vs. just giving a mere +20 frost sp, as well as 1% spell hit, 1% spell crit, and even 62 Stamina, in exchange for Intellect, Agi, and a bunch of resists not needed in MC. The old set bonuses are in a comment below this one and are also truly meme-worthy.
