What i really loved about mage when i played it in retail wrath was that you could pretty much go into pvp in whatever spec and do really really well. Bigdick arcane blast crits is what i remember from back then and oh boy it was glorious *and it will be again!*
Wotlk has some amazing game improvements! All 3 mage specs offer an amazing different play style! Frost was pretty OP in PVP due to deep freeze stun! I can't wait to see what kind of gameplay people come up with in all 3 specs!
Usually, i really like your guides... But there are some things that just doesnt add up for me. Calling the Arcane Mage a "Glass Canon" while it has more defensive utility than Fire Saying Arcane Barage is a powerfull new Ability that makes arcane mages do tons of tons of dmg....while skilling it is a dps lose and thats why you never take it? Arcane Mages do tons of dmg...but not because of Arcane Barage. Tbf, i do play wotlk on a P-Server, so might just be that
@@tarisco614 I do not see a single number i am referencing to. For defensive utility you can look up their spell book. For the skilltree/rotation you can watch older guides etc. So yes sure, the numbers on my Server COULD be wrong, but even so it was the same on live as far as i can tell.
@@ithadtobeaname7327 DPS is represented in numbers. Damage is represented in numbers. You referenced both so I'm not sure where you're having trouble. Classic was completely cleared IMMEDIATELY because the private server numbers were basically a guess and way off. You can't reference how you feel in private servers to disagree with real servers.
@@tarisco614 Idk wich server u have played on, but mine was pretty accurate besides that, nothing you said invalidaes anything i said. Its a fact u dont take arcane barrage. Simple as that. There is no point whatsoever in taking it unless you do it so you can use it while moving/fluff. And numbers are irrelevant to the fact that we know the spellbook and talents, so we do know arcane is only worse than frost in terms of defensive utility
@hunter larsen All the guys going warriors are brainless lol Just going warriors because they think they could get shadowmourne Imagine being trash dps and griefind your raid a whole expansion just to get an orange weapon But well it will be nice to have sunder bots i guess :D
@@atnguyen23 There is absolutely nothing hard to master about warrior, especially once you get good gear and you spam HS or Cleave without even thinking about rage management. Don't fool people.
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to Like the video if you liked it, and subscribe so you don't miss the next one! Thanks and take care!

arcane does most damage with missiles,but blast crits hurt a lot

Incanters absorption: make friends with a pally. Get the pally shield, not bubble, stand in fire, win!
Ayo thanks dude! Great vid
I appreciate that!
So... essentially all u did was read the new talents eh? Great content 😜
can't wait for wotlk classic
I stopped play wow just before cataclysm and playing the mage always felt like i was on easy mode in PVE and PVP. Only the Rogue could stop me.
Yeah it's an incredibly fun class
Frost mage in 3.2 and 3.3 was a monster in pvp, specialy in battleground, with ICC/s8 tiers i felt so good to kill peaple under deepfreeze!
peaple
Great video, it cuts out a bit early at the wnd
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Frost Mage is so chill to play 😆
Thanks! It is haha
Great video mate. Really well presented!
There isnt really a screnario where Arcane mages ever use Arcane Barrage
Bullshit! Barrage is fine for questing and Trash Packs in Dungeons.
So it's just not true that it's never useable.
Awesome video, i really enjoyed it. Can you do one about warlock in the same format if you havent already? :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Warlock version is on the channel. :)
I freaking loved Arcane in WotLK!
It plays incredibly well, very strong and fun.
This has nothing more to offer than someone looking up the talent trees for mage.
You have access to wotlk already or these clips are from private server?
Private server
Is Mirror Images not till Cata?
It's in wrath. I think I mention it in the video
This videos was, in a phrase, "very very nice"
Rogues or mages more insane?
mages rogues dont really become fun until like mop and later. i just dont like the slow rogue playstyle before that
arcane mages in retail are insane i have 4 they can literally kill anything aoe damage is insane in lk there the worst
best thing about this video is that mage killing the dk

Why would you reference numbers from a private server when they were so notoriously wrong in Classic?
@@tarisco614 I do not see a single number i am referencing to.

problem number one, there will be trizilion bizillion mages in wotlk
And not to mention dk's
Paladins. Everyone will be a Paladin, those who are not paladins are Warriors, those who are not Paladins or Warriors are Death Knights
