Quote of Viability in the Current Patch: " Arcane is currently weak relative to competitor specs. It handles pack-to-pack AoE very well, making it a great choice for dungeons, but lacks the sustained damage necessary to compete on boss encounters. "

This refers just for upcoming prepatch, right?

This is not a prediction for lvl 110 an artifact weapon?

"Although Arcane Power Icon Arcane Power lasts 15 seconds, you should not re-cast Rune of Power Icon Rune of Power after the first expires in order to cover all of Arcane Power Icon Arcane Power. " Arcane Power's duration is now only 10 seconds, so the last 2 sentences in  "2.5 Rune of Power" aren't neccessary :D

That's been edited out, based off of Artifact stuff (which extends AP a little).

It applies to both, actually, though Fire is stronger in dungeons.

Haste doesn't increase manaregeneration anymore!
Therefore I think haste became our worst stat except for really short fights with huge burst.

Ok so i posted this in other forums and started my own topic too but will ask here as well. Did they nerf the gear cause I went from 70% Mastery to 31% mastery overnight with at least a 15k dps loss down to 25-30k. I've posted this on WoW forums, Facebook friends and asked trade chat all with either bullshit answers or nothing. Patch notes don't say anything about gear nerfing but with 6 weeks left till expac I cant believe they would nerf your stats so soon.

Any answers here??

Or at least noticing the same loss??

@Lily is right, Haste doesn't affect mana regeneration anymore. And because Arcane causes direct damage (i.e. no DOTs), the only effect Haste provides are shorter cast times. Allow me to present two compelling arguments against Haste. 1: Realistically, a 5% or 10% improvement in cast time is likely to go unnoticed, as it will always be affected by network latency. 2: Mana regeneration is now affected by Mastery, not Haste. Increasing Haste allows you to burn through Mana quicker, without the added effect of speeding up the regen rate.

On the other hand, a 5% or 10% increase in Critical Strike makes a huge difference, and a crit strike is extra 100% of damage for the price of one, effectively conserving your Mana. Therefore I'd advocate for moving Haste to #4 in the list, and making Critical Strike #3 instead.

Mastery values per 1% are different for every class. Presumably when they updated  the Mastery they also changed your baseline Mastery value. In addition, they could have changed how much Mastery amounts to 1%.

Guest T15-Talent!?

Words of PowerWords of Power must be a joke? ;-) ... Only ONE percent per each not used Mana - that feels like almost nothing, esp. if you are burning right now. For max. Opening-Burst, Presence of MindPresence of Mind should be a nice option ... but I guess, that Arcane FamiliarArcane Familiar is even serious choice, not because of slighly extra-DpS, but because of 10 % more mana-pool.
 

Especially in longer fights at HfC mythic, I got oom yesterday in the heat of the fight ... so today I will give my Arcane FamiliarArcane Familiar a chance ... ;)

Yeah, it's a pretty underwhelming talent :( It is best if you play optimally though. All 3 of those talents are fairly weak and close in DPS value, so feel free to experiment. I find Words to be the best for longer encounters, whereas Presence of Mind tends to dominate burst focused encounters.

Hi, I have some questions and hopefully you guys can help me. Here is my armory profile http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/character/blackhand/Petrosian/advanced

First of all, I am really confused about this burn and conserve phases. I never played arcane before and I know that on live servers arcane sucks hard. But it is the pre-patch and with 110 and artifact weapon arcane will hopefully be competetive again.

So this is the way I understand it after spending 2hours on the dummie:

After pull I use charged up, then rune of power and then arcane power and spam arcane blast and missiles until rune of power ends.

Then I use my second rune of power and continue to spam arcane blast and missiles until I am oom.

Now I evocate up to full mana and now the pain begins, because arcane mastery sucks on live servers. In conserve phase my goal is to stay as close to 100% mana as possible and wait for my arcane power to no longer be on cooldown.

With my actual gear, to stay close to 100% mana I can maybe build up to 2 arcane charges then arcane barrage and so on.

Is this correct?

If not, another idea I had would be: After 1st rune of power to immediately go into conserve, wait for a trinket/weapon procc and then go for 2nd rune and spam blasts / missiles.

 

And another question: In section "2.3. Truncating Arcane Missiles" you recommend the gnosis-addon. I installed it, but it feels weird to me.

Does a macro like /cast [nochanneling] arcane blast do the same job like gnosis so that I can continue using my quartz-castbar-addon?

You don't have to stay at 100% mana in conserve; you need just enough Mana in the tank that you can do a full Arcane Power for your burn. I think I touched on this somewhere in the guide, but nochannel macros are frowned upon as they induce a bit of delay, which causes you to lose a lot of globals over the course of a boss fight.

Guest Great arcane explosi

So I don't get the guide. How does the new stat priority fit the 4pc tier 18 gear??

almost all gear in HFC has mastery and haste for arcane. If I use that I'm through my mana bar Twice in now time. And then what? Waiting till evocation is up? Again?

If I equip the tome it's even worse.

the only thing that works for me atm is arcane explosion. It's the only thing you can do damage that actually matters. So spamming that in the middle of bunch of ads is the biggest dmg atm.

if there's only one boss I just chill and try not to die from mechanics.

I am no expert on the mage, and especially on arcane.

Regarding your question to the rotation: Maybe my post from 23rd of July and Furtys answer  can help you.

Guest No thx

If fire is soo superior how is it then that I end up on top of damage meters (and dps) with arcane?

start to think that you guys didn't play arcane for quite some time.

its not only this guide. Paladin sucked as well till the community forced you to change it. Idk about the other guides, since I don't play them.

thx for the effort (copy/paste and so) but no thx

      🤠(Author's introduction)🤠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      👀 (What were the beginnings?) 👀

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      👀 (What's it called?) 👀

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      👀 (What is it known for?) 👀

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      👀 (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) 👀

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      👀 (When did he retire?) 👀

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      👀 (Final summary) 👀

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.
      End...

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)

      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
