TBC Classic Fire Mage Phase 1 / Tier 4 Gear and Best in Slot

This is a list of gear that is considered to be the best in each slot. The Chaotic Skyfire Diamond meta gem is also very strong for Fire spec, however, using it means giving up a lot of Hit, which is the stat Fire is most hungry for.

The list below is following the stat priority of Hit until cap > Spell Damage > Spell Haste > Spell Crit and assumes no Hit chance raid buffs. You can see an explanation for this priority on our stats page for Fire Mage below.

If you are starting out as a freshly-leveled Fire Mage, our pre-raid best in slot list is meant to give you an idea of non-raid items you can chase as a solo / pug player in preparation for raids.

Do note that items from Heroic dungeons or that require Primal Nethers (which are obtained from Heroics) can be harder to get than raid items due to their daily lockout. Some Heroic dungeons are also harder than most of Karazhan.

If, however, your character is ready to take on the content of Tiers 5 and 6, then please utilize our updated lists instead.

The items on this list for Tier 4 come from TBC dungeons, professions, reputation rewards, and PvP. As world boss loot is very hard to get for most players, this set does not include any world boss loot.

If you have further questions about gemming and enchanting these items, our Fire Mage enchants and gems page below provides more information.
