IMO best raiding helm for a mage short of Frostfire. This has better stats than Mish'undare (+9 stam, +3 spirit) but slightly less damage (-2 dmg -1% crit +1% hit). I'm partial to this helm cause 1) I just won it last night, 2) I can see my spiky mage hair while wearing it, as opposed to Mish'undare, and 3) It drops EVERY time. #3 is important cause damn, it sucks trying to get Mish'undare when it just won't drop for ya.

If deciding between this and a Mishy, just get whatever comes your way first for the dkp you're willing to spend. Either way, you're getting a very good helm.

mish'undare with a stamina buff AND part of a set O.o
