Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Arcane Mage PvP:
Haste is extremely valuable for Arcane Mage, reducing cast times and GCD. More Haste means faster Arcane Blast casts and smoother rotation.
Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability.
Mastery: Savant increases your maximum mana and mana regeneration, while also increasing Arcane damage. Solid but lower priority than Haste.
Critical Strike provides burst potential but is less consistent than other stats.

Primary Setup
Double Elemental Focusing Lens provides a mix of consistent throughput and burst damage. In order to work, it requires at least 1 gem equipped and deals damage based on gem type. Typically you will want to put this on your crafted Neck or Rings as these will typically be the first crafted pieces you can obtain in the early season. Later on in the season, you can choose to use other Embellishments, especially Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension.

Alternative Gems
Use Cognitive Bloodstone as your unique PvP gem for interrupt protection when casting. Fill remaining sockets with Quick Sapphire for Haste. Use Vicious Jeweler's Setting to add sockets. For Reshii Wraps, use Pure Dexterous Fiber or Pure Chronomantic Fiber.
