Season of Discovery Arcane Mage Healer Gear and Best in Slot

While you can keep healing perfectly fine with the Phase 5 recommended gear from Blackwing Lair, swapping to Spellfrost Bolt-focused gameplay while using the full Zul'Gurub set is more consistent for both healing and damage, should you be able to acquire it.

The rest of the bonuses are decent but nowhere near as impactful, especially the 6-piece bonus which is rather forgettable.

Green of Arcane Wrath bind on equip gear is decent but most slots have stronger options, especially this early into the game when Mana pools are still low and Intellect is stronger than it would usually be.

Also, always try to get an Arcane damage wand such as Mechanostrider Gear Shifter, as its damage will be able to heal your Temporal Beacons, enabling some extra Mana-free healing.
