It's amazing to see everything in action with the cast timeline. Thank you for adding this WA, now I can understand so much better the correct gameplay as a newbie arcane mage!
thank you so much for adding the skill tracker. I learn so much more from watching someone else in an actual m+. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for teaching everyone
"Dear journal, It has been 3 days now. For thee days I have been trying to find the ka-ching addon/weakaura and the meaning of it. I have yet to unveil this mystery."
Yep it was a part of that WeakAura but it's not very useful anymore. If you just want the sound I separated it here: wago.io/6desM--1m Just makes the sound play whenever Barrage lands inside TotM so it feels satisfying, not required.
hey Phosporos - great guide for arcane ! I am using your mage WA setup, but can you provide the plater profile as well ? It looks really good for interrupting important casts. Thanks
Any chance you can do like a commentary over these videos? Basically going ok I use CDs here cause Ill have them back before x pack/boss. Or ok I know I can dispell this so I do, or we grab spears here and save them for x boss etc etc. Just stuff like that. Please that would be super helpful.
hey man just want to say, finally learned the spec because of you. only guide that can help me understand arcane and ive been trying for 2 xpacs. I always get burnt out immediately at how overwhelming of a spec it can be but now that im playing it the game has never felt so fresh. I know spewing numbers at you isnt something you might not be able to answer BUT i finally did my first M+ run after fully learning the spec, I just dont know if im on par. I am currently 585 ilvl with 2 AH trinkets and multiple greens, mastery and haste are a bit low but i ended at 800k overall dmg is that where you'd expect an arcane mage to be for the ilvl or do i need to make some adjustments to how im using my burst windows?
4:36 in that case when u evocation u hace 3 clearcasting for ur empowered arcane missiles and u pref to cast arcane surge before arcane missiles, is that worth? Because i guess its better to missiles with clearcasting x3 aether to apply the debuff of dmg and then cast arcane surge and spam most arcane barrage as u can no?
Hi thank you for the support! It's just a fun Weakaura that plays the sound whenever Barrage lands inside of Touch of the Magi, here's the link if you want to give it a try: wago.io/6desM--1m
Is it just me or does our cooldowns not line up as smoothly as it did in prepatch or maybe everyone killing stuff too quickly but im only running 5s or so right now, but always seem to have a period when everything is still down on a new pack compared to prepatch
Hey, can you explain what you do on 3 target and what do you do on 5+, from what i've noticed in your cds you prock Magi's spark and then you spam arcane barrage on max stacks on 5+ right?
hey phosphoros wanted to ask in aoe on sunfury, if i keep proccing orbs, im out of np no orb and have aether attunement up, do i keep barraging or just missiles as soon as np is out?
Usually it's done to play around Nether Precision. So let's say I cast Arcane Missiles. I now have 2 stacks of Nether Precision. In order to maximize NP usage, I cast 1 Arcane Blast and then the second Blast has an Arcane Barrage spellqueued with it. This allows the second Blast+Barrage to both benefit from the last stack of Nether Precision, thus buffing 3 spells in total (Blast > Blast+Barrage). Hope that made sense, you can find more info in my latest guide here: ua-cam.com/video/DBo__kRVSOk/v-deo.htmlsi=zTehiFEwVJdttgAA
Hello man i saw in the details that your main damage comes from barrage, and i noticed that you cast it a lot, i play your same talents with the exception on barrage orb, why sat 11:34 after the blast/barrage that proc the orb your charges were still at 4? i dont understand, also i dont understand what the weakaura sound is for,!
oh i've seen that when the orb proc it refund you the charges am i right?, so basically you cast barrage hoping to find a proc even at the risk of running out of charges right? because not every time you have orb to throw to refill the charges
Yep I use this macro to first set a focus target: /focus [@mouseover] And then I use this macro to kick my focus target (it will also set the target as focus if you don't have a focus): #showtooltip /stopcasting /focus [@focus,noexists] /cast [@focus] Counterspell
Is ST prio to use blast when you have burden of power over barrage? I’ve been sending a barrage single on burden of power since you can no longer double dip it and you are spell q’ing a barrage with blast on the burden cast.
It depends on your NP stacks. If you have 2 NP then you can consume Burden with Barrage but if you have 1 NP you should consume it with Blast through a Blast+Barrage spellqueue as this allows you to double dip the final stack of NP
whats the benefit of casting blast for a 7th time with barrage on bop instead of just casting barrage after the 6th blast? is this so we dont accidently drop 4 charges or because we start with 2 spheres after consuming bop then?
Mostly because it lets you double dip on Nether Precision with both Blast and Barrage. Also you can't spellqueue Blast+Barrage and consume Burden from 5 stacks so it's better to spellqueue Blast > Blast+Barrage on 6 rather than Blast > slight pause for Burden to appear > Barrage on 6. Hope that makes sense.
I’m noticing arcane doesn’t perform as well in lower keys. I haven’t gone into 7-10 keys yet but the melee comps are completely out classing me in cleave and I often find myself at the bottom of a dps. I’m also seeing frost mages are popular.
The problem arcane has is that it lacks inmediate burst. You don't just press 1 key to pop wings+racial+trinket and start pumping, you need to do a whole damn setup first AND you are also dependent on an "accumulated dmg over time" effect in TotM. All of this makes you extremely prone to end up in a situation where things die before you can reach peak DPS. You can mitigate this by speccing into the "full AoE"/Spellslinger rotation on lower keys but you sacerifice a ton of boss dmg in exchange for subpar (albeit easier to peform) AoE.
@@Cyoon417 Nah, never liked fire. I've been playing Arcane since Legion altho not as my main. The spec is pretty capable, it's just that it will not shine as much in lower keys.
@phosphorusWow what about you? Any thoughts about fire making a come back? I’m new to mage and I’m finding this tier of raid and M+ requires a lot of movement and frost is just built better. I’ll be the slinger frost build is boring to play and doesn’t feel fun, but are crushing the meters
@@PhosphorosWoW is this random or Is possible to track when it procs ? I often keep 4 arcane charges and I don't know if there will be any arcane barrage proc
Yep we used all the weapons on Stitchflesh and I popped all my CDs and DPS potion with Spymasters. I could've actually done even more damage with a fully stacked Spymasters but I miscalculated how fast we would reach Stitchflesh and only had 28 stacks when I popped it.
I have thze same experience he does. These classes are all doing amazing trash damage, and they do very good boss damage too. But fking nerf Mages over and over again, but it is so broken. So they are supposed to do more trash damage, and also do similar if not more ST damage while having 10times easier rotations. Why not delete the stupid spec at this point.
So in a single target situation, you pretty much do The rotation without casting arcane barrage if you have clearcasting procs? I am always sending barrages if I have Cc procs. Should i just send if I have burden?
You send it if you have the AMP you get from doing Missles and you have a way of building it back super fast. Like an orb. Otherwise you keep blasting until you get some sort of proc again.

Just managed my first +8 on time. Top blaster ofc : ) Thanks for the guides!
Amazing - thank you. I love your UI and set up. I'm still re-learning Arcane so this is so helpful.
Great work! I’m in tank in this run and we all pumped. I also got my 10 NW timed yesterday :)
i'm just so happy that the arcane dream has returned
"Dear journal, It has been 3 days now. For thee days I have been trying to find the ka-ching addon/weakaura and the meaning of it. I have yet to unveil this mystery."

Arcane always does worse in lower keys because things don’t live long enough, cds will feel much better in higher keys

hey @phosphoroswow are you planning to refresh the vid with your addons/WA's, the one available seem to contain alot of outdated stuff from DF
Yeah I'll be updating that one once the gear rush dies down in a week or so. Definitely should have it out sometime before 11.0.5.
