6.0.2 - Back to Old Skool arcane?

[slash1975]

Hi guys

Jus wondering if arcane is now the arcane blast fest it once was in LK days? Basically pop usual cd's, stand in RoP, Blast til the cows come home or 40% mana (which ever comes 1st), evocate @ 40% on 4 stacks which means it's virtually an instant 100% mana button.

Then usual MoP rotation, using missile-weaving, conserving mana and utilising T16 2 and 4 sets accordingly?

I've tried to find out if this is best strat now - my thought's are to stay @ 100% mana as much as possible, pop cd's when off CD and according to point in boss fight, and don't change this at any point. That would mean evocation is a useless spell @ lv 90 tho; lv 100 could be a very different thing.

Any thoughts/observations?

It is a bit like that in the current patch. Will be more like that in WoD when we start getting leveling perks.

The TL:DR version for current patch, short fights it is a 1% gain to do the burn rather that just conserve. Also, aim for around 65% mana before evocating. See http://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=608" target="_blank for more details.
