Mage PvE best in slot at level 20

The best gear for a level 20 Mage in the Forever beta, slot by slot, with where each piece comes from. Frost damage and plain spell power, since the build casts nothing else. Intellect after them for a mana bar that lasts the pull. Stamina barely moves the order.

Mage PvE questions

What is the best weapon for a level 20 Mage (PvE) in WoW Forever?

Evocator's Blade. The top pick comes from Return the Statuette (Alliance, level 25 in Classic, from level 20).

Which stats matter most for a level 20 Mage (PvE)?

Frost damage and plain spell power, since the build casts nothing else. Intellect after them for a mana bar that lasts the pull. Stamina barely moves the order.

What talents go with this Mage PvE list?

Frost for damage in dungeons, 0/0/11 at level 20: Improved Frostbolt 5/5, Elemental Precision 5/5, Piercing Ice 1/3.

How much health does a level 20 Mage have in this gear?

A Human Mage has 677 health and 300 armor with 1561 mana; a Undead Mage has 687 health and 294 armor with 1591 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the first item in each slot, with no enchants, buffs or talents.

Stats are read from the Forever client, including items the game server sends that the packaged client lacks. Rankings within a slot are best first for the level 20 cap. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
