Welcome to our WoW Classic Mage Pre-Raid BiS & Best in Slot for all phases guide. On this page you will find out exactly what gear you will need to obtain to be prepared for raiding in the best way possible. If you acquire most of your Mage Pre-Raid BiS before entering Molten Core & Onyxia not only will your character perform at a high level but also your guild will have a much easier time clearing these first raids. We also show you alternatives for every piece of gear since some items are very hard to obtain. In addition to that you can also find the enchants needed to round off your gear. If you want to suggest changes please post the item in the comments down below!
