so new overpowered talent doesn't synergize well with rhonin's guess gravity spiral+shard/trinket will be BiS legendaries once you have 4pc weird that arcane barrage will play such a small role in arcane's rotation seems like they are heading for a 24/7 burn rotation :lol: -- like arcane barrage won...

crackling energy trait seems to be really good/better than torrental barrage. (especially in trial of valor)

3 poijnts into torrental barrage is just a 1k dps increase for me

i hope those changes aren't live on ptr cause it still feels like a nerf :roll: edit: guess they aren't live since realms go down at 7am pdt? atleast it says so. can't they increase mana cost reduction from arcane power to deal with the increased mana cost or something? it wouldn't affect komma's me...

If I'm not mistaken, you lose all but one arcane charge when you enter boss combat. So there really is no reason to try and stack them before the pull. Correct. If you use Charged up, then precast AB before pull, you'll end up with 1 Arcane Charge. Don't see how the OP's strat would work any differ...

here's few logs. it's basically burn -> conserve -> double burn without legendaries (well I have ring equipped, but only used a single bl) no buffs pots etcetc ptr 1: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/hz9LTcktApxPmRKN/" target="_blank ptr 2: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rG7nWv2yQ8CH1BqZ/"...

here's a comparison for live and ptr arcane mage TwQ9kV9IBgA I just stopped doing the rotation, knowing how bad it is i even consider that a good try for arcane ptr. there's times where you have no mana and evo is 13s off cooldown. Never happens on live. ... and here's ptr only with insane proccs do...

I'm currently testing arcane on ptr and I don't like +25% mana cost increase at all evocation is on cd at times it used to be off cooldown on live rune of power during conserve reks all ur mana, you rely on arcane missile proccs to make it "ok" imo revert it or reduce evocation cd to 1min or we will...

Conserve Phase: This phase depends heavily on how much mastery/haste you have. The goal here is to time your mana, evocation CD, and quickening stacks so that you are able to enter burn phase with high quickening stacks. Depending on your Mastery:Haste ratio when you begin your mana burning to buil...

I reported this in beta and haven't tried it yet in raids but it should work there aswell. You basically talent arcane orb and spam it x4 (or until your raidlead initiates readycheck) and switch to Quickening. What you gain from this are up to 4x arcane charges on pull. first arcane charge will star...

Yeah dunno about the stats, if someone could help for that because i'm a bit depressed about the situation yeah trinketwise i also have the nythendra's trinket (swarming plaguehive) but i guess its not the best too About NT, i mean i dont use it for the opener nor for the burst phase so yeah maybe ...

fire is better on bosses since fights are really short arcane shines in aoe in instances such as black rook hold, darkheart thicket, vault of the wardens, arcway,... arcane also has more survivability because of greater invisibility and +100% icebarrier. It saved me plenty times. however, arcane is ...

should be about the same rotation

I'm starting to feel as if there is another requirement to get the volatile sheep to spawn. I'm AK 6 and I've sheeped the 5 mobs. I've been logging in and out for at least 2 hours and still nothing...

did you check it with the script if u truly sheeped them?

The odds for the Arcane daily roll must be 1% or lower, as I've passed 100 relogs and not seen a successful roll. To think that is is meant to be a DAILY roll is disgusting. Is this really what they meant when they said "hardest to find appearance"? From your gif, I can only assume that the sheep n...

just to keep you guys updated: relogging at the platform where the dala portal (class hall) is and stepping off it triggers the daily roll and eventually a dialogue with cote shepherd metcalf appears along with a sheep that you have to left/rightclick until it exlodes: https://gyazo.com/54a804fd9d1c...

seems like rhonins is stronger than intended trying to figure out this log https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jLHZkvCcbV2r36fW#fight=20&type=casts&source=9&view=events" target="_blank my assumption is that he's keeping quickening stacks up with lucky rhonins/nt-spamm proccs. so the difference to r...

Hello guys,

Can it be, that the proc chance for AM from NT with the hotfix today nerfed too?

i also had low proccs probably some hidden icd that triggers when you're spamming it
there's no reason to spam NT on same mob so it's a smart fix

i guess you do nt spamm once (+deadly grace pot on 2nd burn) and then continue with normal rotation. (since stacks drop off and you can't rebuild them as quickly since evocation will be on cooldown, most likely not worth it) how does this nerf affect mystic kilt tho at high mastery + double burn? wi...

We can confirm that the processes for obtaining these alternate appearances are all in the game and functioning properly. Once you’ve met all the appropriate requirements – some of which involve content that hasn’t yet been released, or will take some time to complete – the appearance will be grant...
