Arcane Mage best in slot gear, Season 2
This list is compiled from publicly available guides for this specialisation and is kept current.
It shows what counts as the best item per slot for Season 2, and is no substitute for simming your own character.
Into the catalyst
Convert these pieces to get the set's 4-piece bonus. New in Season 2: the tier piece takes on the secondary stats of what you put in, and the item level always came along anyway. So all that matters is which slots you pick. The tooltip on the right shows the converted piece, with your stats already on it.
