Wow gold players were already questing there anyway.
We're still a firm believe in Rawr, but we've fallen back on MaxDps a bit. Although with Rawr's latest patch of 3.1.4, they've put in filters to make it a bit more appealing again. There's still too many combination of gems if you ask me. We're trying to look for the best item to upgrade to; that's the hard part. We'll plunk down whatever money we need to for the gems and enchants after that.Right now we are not entirely sure MaxDPS has it either. They used to heavily lean on + hit, and now it seems like they're more towards haste. But it's still a good tool to start your search. As soon as you're running Naxx, you'll be replacing gear anyway.So, with that said, there's a couple things that might be easy for you to get before you start your first raid.Emeline's Locket is a guaranteed item since it's a quest reward from The Admiral Revealed. Sure you have to get a group together for the quest and it's a fairly long "chain" if you consider all of the Icecrown quests you need to do. But after our recommendation, wow gold players were already questing there anyway.The Dark Runic Mantle is the next item we look at. It's a BoE off the Dark Runic people in Heroic Halls of Stone. You can also pick it up from the AH if you just want to give up the money. There's no + hit on this one, but it's a pretty solid shoulder piece.As a Mage, the Shroud of Dedicated Research should probably be one of your easiest upgrades.
