What about using sephuz + mantle to spend all mana then just GS + evo between pulls?

Vorrum are you running some mighty never ending burn phase Arcane build that I do not know? If not then even on fight that are 3 min long you will use at least few barrages. @came With kilt you enter conserve phase with 30-40% mana :p and then u wait for go 4ab +abr while waiting for evo /ap. I don...

Hi all,

Looked around but haven't found any mention of it anywhere.

Arrz.

You arent looking very hard then lul

I haven't played arcane at all this expansionm so I honestly dont know how to play arcane. :) What would be the stat prio's with this playstyle, and what would be the preferred leggos? I mean I dont think that the 8k haste, 3k vers then crit is what you wanna go for here? So bacially what you do ij...

wouldn't call it a bug AE spawns a rune that can be triggered by casting another AE the rune itself then casts AE, that's why you're seeing 2x AM proccs No it's definitely a bug because i've gotten 2 proc from a single cast of AE on the pull. No it's definitely a bug because i've gotten 2 proc from...

The sad thing behind this, it makes more damage than arcane blast and you dont have to worry about canceling your spells. From my testing it does a little bit less than arcane blasting, so if you are good. Dont use this tactic. If you are bad, use this tactic. This is on singletarget by the way, on...

I did some testing, with the gear I am wearing in the videos my Arcane explosion does 321k dmg and AB 645k. AM proc cost; AB 380k mana AE 253k mana Dmg per 1% mana; AB 3,2 AE 2,4 I actually tried out if just arcane explosioning was viable in pure ST. Dmg turns out to be suprisingly pretty good. Test...

I think you got your answer ahah. As long as your RL strat let's you get in melee it's AE > AB right now I guess! Not really a fan of the design but yeah DPS > design I suppose.

Might aswell bring another melee to the fight seeing how strong they are right now! Logs > Mechanics ;^)

I don't know if it would still be worth it since I feel like mana consumption is way higher spamming AE instead of AB. You'd need to get in melee too. But yeah if you need to dps on the move it's still a lot better than before to spam AE. Actually AE is more mana friendly than spamming AB. my AE do...

There is a thread below already discussing this with several comments. Just an FYI Just saw it, only discussion is that you can fish for AM procs before a fight tho. My guess is that the clone has a proc chance and it doesnt matter if it hits a mob or not while the normal AE also has a proc chance ...

After a lot of playing with the new golden it seems like the clone and the arcane explosion can both proc arcane missiles, meaning the chance doubled to get a AM proc from AB = AM proc from AE. Wouldn't this mean to always use AE on 2+ targets? Before the reason was, even tho you do more damage, you...

Are the legendaries updated for 7.2? How does sephuz sim so low?

Usually I would stack 3 AM then cast MoA>RoP>3xAM. With cord is it better to 3xAM>MoA>RoP. That way it increases your MoA but you lose damage on your 3 Arcane Missiles. Which is correct in this situation? You dont lose damage though, unless you oneshot whatever raidboss you are doing in one evocati...

Why are you conserving as soon as you finish your evocation? The point of the belt is to dip into 40% asap so you can min-max the belt effect. Compare your logs to other beltusers, you will see that they hover around 40-60% at all times. You are conserving too much when you dont need to, especially ...

Added videos on all the bosses so far, sorry boys the first 4 kill videos are really shit cause they are on a farm rotation. So basically its get as good logs as you can or try to min max super hard (So standing in chronomatic balls cause they do minimal damage just to get casts off). You get an ide...

I have a question regarding Trilliax... While the boss itself is not hard at all to deal with and most guild that approach mythic should be at least 3/10 if not more. I sort of struggle to min max on the boss. While I understand that banking AM before the rotation blade happen is important, I often...

The one thing about Slipstream that I like and use Is that I can often set up burn phases to end when I know I have movement and use Evocation during movement. Examples: Krosus - Evocation during Burning Pitch, Trillax - After Annihilation moving back out of the Center It also means I can bank some...

I've gotten many top 5 mythic parses this tier using the same talent setup for nearly every boss. If you like slipsteam use it, if you like shimmer use it. With the 2pc set bonus giving us tons of missile procs I see slipstream being very good. The only reason I dont like slipstream is because I th...

Thank you fo the guide, you made me use shimmer yesterday in NH fo the first time. I see what you mean. At least I fucked up my dps in thee fights by tying to run during Evo...AAAhh! And I don't know how many AM I broke up. You have to learn the difference, but I think shimmer is stonger in NH. It'...

Yeah, seems like most arcane mages know what to do. Positioning is probably the thing people need, I'll write about that. Thanks.

I'll update this on wednesday and record the bosses I kill and write where to position, for example on CA its super important.
