****Current as of Patch 3.2****

Everyone loves a Mage in their raid.

Free water! More mana for me!

And oh yah, I guess they like that a well-geared Mage does Wicked DPS and can AOE down anything in its path, and in a pinch Mages can actually perform Crowd Control duties!

Just coming up to 80, however, you won't be well-geared enough to be truly awesome, but with a bit of focused efforts you can be there in no time!

Do you know what type of gear you're aiming for? Do you know where to find those rare Hit Rating pieces you'll need for Heroics and Raiding?

If not, do you want to waste the time looking up where to find it all? Or do you just want to PLAY?

I know my own answer - I developed this gearing guide in advance so I wouldn't have to waste time I could be spending in a more fun manner once I got to 80.

And I'm happy to share this guide and all of its knowledge with you, so you, too, can play instead of spending time waiting for slow, graphic-laden websites to load up.
