Arcane Mage rotation and DPS questions
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2018 5:52 am
I am currently doing heroic and normal raiding in Uldir on my Arcane mage. I know that some fights we have to do things like soak pools or move damage abilities from a raid and that can hurt DPS. This post is more pointed on situational rotation and lower than expected DPS.
Here is my Raidbots Sim: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ ... MX5E6XrB1f
1) When I enter burn phases I do the following: Charged up, activate T'zane trink, Arcane Power, and then crazy spam arcane blast till I run out of mana. I then evocate and and spam arcane blast and use missles and try to stay at about 50% mana. My question is this, am I doing this correctly? I seem to fluctuate wildly between 10k and sometimes 13k. Wowanalyzer says my cooldown and mana management are shit. (I am of course pre-potting when available)
2) Any suggestions on how to maintain strong DPS when I am forced to do mechanics for bosses? Also, is it worth sitting on cooldowns for phases are going all in whenever it is available?
3) Wowanalyzer is overly critical of me when it comes to managing mana? I do not know if it is accurate. I am not certain it understands the play style of Arcane mages? It says I am always in the 20% to 30% for mana.
Thank you in advance for the input.
