As we're facing Ragnaros and potentially harder bosses in BWL if and when we ever advance to that dungeon, we've started trying to find ways to boost caster DPS. The addition of the Nightfall axes has been a very welcome addition to be sure, but there's more than each individual can do to boost their own spell damage.
With that in mind, I wanted to start up a thread where we can discuss reliable boosts to our spell damage output that doesn't include hearthing back to Orgrimmar for a Rallying Cry of the Dragon Slayer or a DM Tribute run, hehe.
Right now I or others in the tribe are capable of crafting the following items which are all generally inexpensive ways to give your spells a little something extra:
Arcane Elixir - Increases spell damage by up to 20 for 30 mins.
1x Blindweed, 1x Goldthorn, 1x Crystal Vial
Greater Arcane Elixir - Increases spell damage by up to 35 for 1 hour.
3x Dreamfoil, 1x Mountain Silversage, 1x Crystal Vial
Elixir of Shadow Power - Increases Shadow spell damage by up to 40 for 30 mins.
3x Ghost Mushroom, 1x Crystal Vial
Elixir of Greater Firepower - Increases Fire spell damage by up to 40 for 30 mins. (not so great against Ragnaros, but for other fights)
3x Fire Oil, 3x Firebloom, 1x Crystal Vial
Brilliant Wizard Oil - Applied to weapon (stackable with potions) - Increases spell damage by up to 36 and increases spell critical chance by 1%. Lasts 30 minutes. Persists through death.
Enchanting recipe - 2x Large Brilliant Shard, 3x Firebloom, 1x Imbued Vial. Has 5 charges.
And if you want to go all out...
Flask of Supreme Power - Increases damage done by magical spells and effects by up to 150. Lasts 2 hours. Persists through death.
30x Dreamfoil, 10x Mountain Silversage, 1x Black Lotus, 1x Crystal Vial
At minimum, I would suggest having Arcane Elixir, or Greater Arcane Elixir (Elixir of Shadow Power for Warlocks) and Brilliant Wizard Oil available. These aren't difficult to make, and staight up give a bonus of 56 ~ 71 spell damage plus 1% chance to crit.
If there's other things that can be made that I haven't listed here, speak up! The more we know, the more Ragnaros and those proceeding him should quiver in fear at the might of this tribe!
