Frost Mage PvP Gear Guide for WotLK Classic
On this page you will find the recommended best in slot gear for a Frost Mage in Wrath of the Lich King Season Two.
Frost Mage PvP Best in Slot Gear, Gems, and Enchants
You can find our recommended gear in the table below, which includes items available exclusively from Wrath Dungeons/Raids, Professions, PvP, and Reputation rewards. Please note that the preferred gems depend on how much Hit Rating, Resilience, Haste, Crit, etc. you need and that there is not a static gem like for each gem slot color.
You can learn more about the recommended stat priority in the PvE Frost Mage guide, linked below.
Current Season Best in Slot
The current BIS for Mages is a work in progress thing, as top PVPers use different BIS sets for PVP or their priorities shift. The most up-to-date version of the BIS list can be found in the Classic Mage Discord.
