Re: [BfA] Arcane Mage Guide for Battle for Azeroth (8.0)
not sure what "case AM procs" means, but once my AP is over and I cast my second rune of power I allow myself to start using my AM procs. After that I burn to 10% and only cast arcane barrage when I cant cast arcane blast. I still think galvanizing spark is king, but if you are cornered into brains...

Re: [BfA] Arcane Mage Guide for Battle for Azeroth (8.0)
A few quick questions about the new brain storm burn/conserve: - Do you case AM procs in the initial burn pre-AP/CDs? - After your burn, evo, burn do you stop at 40% mana? And then just cast to 4 and barrage and burn back to 40%? not sure what "case AM procs" means, but once my AP is over and I cas...

Re: Glacial Spike - Updated
Depends on where you're at when the fight is about to start. In dungeons, more often than not I'll have 5 icicles ready to go to open with a boss fight. If i DON'T have frozen orb off CD, then I'd open with frostbolt, icyveins, Ebonbolt, GS combo It'd still go Frostbolt at the start first because t...

Re: Glacial Spike - Updated
Currently with Ebonbolt it's best to hold for when you're at 4 or 5 icicle stacks. If you have 4 icicles and have a flurry proc you can use the proc from ebonbolt to shatter it. This will allow you to still have a flurry proc for Glacial Spike. As far as getting a flurry proc while at 3 icicles, yo...

Re: Glacial Spike - Updated
Is the best use for Ebonbolt with GS to not use it at all except when you get 5 icicles and no BF? Do you not use EB at all on opener? With our current crit level (im at 14% at 335), it seems like we will not have to wait long to use EB but I want to make sure the use case is purely for when at 5 ic...

Re: [BfA] Arcane Mage Guide for 8.0 (BfA pre-patch) - TLDR version
My personal sims are showing Shard of the Exodar is the best replacement for Archmage after the stealth nerf today. I'm also showing Arcane Familar as the best T1 talent, and OP pulls ahead of TA by 20 dps. I imagine double lust makes OP a bit better, unless TA doesn't properly sim or reflect it's r...

Re: [BfA] Arcane Mage Guide for 8.0 (BfA pre-patch) - TLDR version
Thanks for the clarification Dutch, appreciate it!
Also, it sounds like the 4PC T21 isnt really used for opener then?

Re: [BfA] Arcane Mage Guide for 8.0 (BfA pre-patch) - TLDR version
Great write up on the new Arcane changes - I have a few clarification questions on the rotation based on the above: - with 4 pc T21 do you cast 4 arcane blasts on the opener before you barrage -> charged up -> AP and begin burn? For each additional AP, should you get to 4 stacks, barrage and then st...

Re: [BFA] Battle for Azeroth changes overview
Does the mage pet have any use? The freeze ability is the only active you get out of the pet. It allows you to shatter two glacial spikes (with splitting ice) on some fights where there are adds or in dungeon content. For splitting two glacial spikes with SI, do you mean freeze the 2 enemies so you...

Re: [7.3+] Arcane Guide - Updated: December 3, 2017
How does running double ring change the burn and conserve rotations? I've been looking at a lot of the top parses and they seem to have mini burns before each MoA to ~40% mana, and generally aren't using T20 (instead using 2 offset pieces) My 11/11M guild is now in laid back farm mode so I'd love to...

Re: Glacial Spike - How to Ham 101
Can you go into my detail about the GS opener with and without T20? It seems like without T20 it would be something like: -precast ebonbolt -IV, flurry, IL (+ shimmer IL for double) -Frozen Orb, Icelances as they proc -Frost bolt, save any flurry procs if you have 3+ icicles -GS w/ Flurry hopefully,...

Re: 7.1.5 - Arcane Mage Guide - Updated: 01-13-2017
In those cases, since you overgear EN you have the 2 BiS items, kilt/ring, and you still can't compete with the top even though you are playing in the top 80+ percentiles, so you are doing very well, and thats what is sad. Still jealous of them legendaries :p Ofc there are fights in EN where it's a...

Re: 7.1.5 - Arcane Mage Guide - Updated: 01-13-2017
I played Arcane through our Mythic clear on Thursday this week, have to say the damage was pretty disappointing compared to what Fire is still putting out. The run was by no means clean w/ the buyers we had, but I expected to be much higher on average based on sims and my tests on dummies. I have bo...

Re: Patch 7.1.5 - Arcane Mage Guide - Updated: 01-10-2017
Ah ok. So if mana matters, bank those AMs but don't cap at 3. If mana doesn't matter (short fights, end of a raid boss, good mana saving legos) spend those AM procs ASAP. I'm specifically talking about spamming AB during Arcane Power w/ OP. Even when I have 3 AM's, I tend to do more damage if I jus...

Re: Patch 7.1.5 - Arcane Mage Guide - Updated: 01-10-2017
JimmyO recommended doing an AB burn during Arcane Power and only casting AM at 3 stack, to lend the most of the -70% cast cost to AB I got my Arcane arti to 40 yesterday and did about 10-15 M+s with it and it really seems like casting AM at all during AP is a big dps loss. Spamming AB by itself dur...

Re: [7.0] Arcane Talents, Trinkets, Racials, Stats, Legendar
Question about Evocation timings: I've been told that what % mana you use it at during Burn depends on your amount of haste. Does anyone know what the break points are for it? Or do you literally just burn until OOM and then evocate to full per the first page's information? My current haste is 16% (...

Re: Mage Hidden Artifact Appearances
Has ANYONE found the Fire hidden appearance in live yet?
I've killed at least 200 Duskwatch Battlemasters and 100 or so Thicket Hunters but no luck. Also killed every rare, seems like we're missing something.
