How 2 Arcane Mage: Basics, Rotation, and Talents for Dragonflight Season 3 and 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2024
- Let's look at how the arcane mage operates. Together, we will grow an organic understanding of the basics and be able to incorporate those basics into most any spec variation you choose. I have been a mage for about 15 years now, favoring arcane. I also have several max level mages, all arcane. I have two main arcane mages that I play, both of which can easily tackle a Mythic Keystone level 20, so I feel as though I'm an authority on the subject of arcane mages. And I thought it was time to share some of my wisdom. Hopefully, someone out there is helped. Enjoy!

This is incredible. I love your approach to explaining how things work in a simple but not condescending way. I wish every class and spec guide were made like this. I got so overwhelmed with all the abilities when I first started (DF launch) that I couldn't really even enjoy playing the game, but watching this clear and concise video with the relaxing music and simple but easy to understand notation had me following along even though I've never played the spec and am a complete beginner at the game. It made me want to try out Arcane Mage! Truly fantastic. Other guide makers should use this as the gold standard.
Thank you so much! Other guides try to zip through all the content assuming you know most of it already. It does come off as a bit confusing. I'm glad it helped you!
Jep i agree one of the best class guides ever made. Hope you get more love for this type of content.
This is the best class guide I've watched in ages. Most of them try and squeeze too much in too quickly and I forget it all. But this was actually easy to understand.
Thank you. I tried to take a building block approach to teaching the 'flow' of arcane. Glad you liked it.
as someone who has been playing arcane for the last 6 years this is one of the best basics guides ive seen
Thanks!
This is the 10th guide ive watched and the first that ive understood.
Thank you
I'm happy you learned something new! I have a fire and frost guide too if you're wanting to try those too.
I must say, this was a fantastic guide. From the intro to later build up I think this one will or already has helped a lot of new mages out there. Thank you!
😃
I have watched so many guides, and this was the one that finally made it easy for me to understand!
That's awesome! I'm currently working on The War Within guide and will be keeping a very similar format. Thanks for watching!
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda Already subbed, looking forward to seeing your guide!
Changed browser so i can comment. you my friend might be the person i needed while growing up.
And you to me.
Thank you everybody!
This is amazing. I watched this with my other half who will be brand new to the game. She feels like she understood it far better than the other guides she has seen.
@@TheOmegametroi0 awesome! As a creator, it always amazes me that I can help people I've never met. Thanks for watching!
This is the best guide ever made for WoW.
Kind words, I'll take 'em.
I love how you take your time to explain everything
Thank you. I wanted the viewer to learn the rotation organically.
The best guide I have ever seen hands down. I too use the same exact approach when I try to understand a new spec. Slow and steady. Great job! Thanks a lot for the content. Looking for more!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliment!
This brought back nostalgia of watching blues clues and when the voice asks "hmm I wonder how this works" because of what we've learned so far I'm yelling in my head OH OH SPEND THE CHARGES AND THEN REFRESH THEM! and then it feels so good to hear him say hmm, well what if we spend all the charges and use this to refresh them and you just get so giddy because you're LEARNING
Lol! Love the comparison. I wanted the learning experience for arcane to feel natural, like we are figuring it out together. Thanks for watching!
Yes, it reminds me of the square hole guy
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemandayou did a wonderful job man.
Most videos are so much exposition, just piling on all the options. You just keep it simple, organic, this is how we turn the wheel.
@isJay Thank you for your kind words! My hope is that my channel doesn't represent an ocean of content, but more of a pond that you and me skip rocks on. 😃
This guide was amazing. I literally just started playing yesterday and I found the game unbelievably overwhelming. Everyone else's guides run you through like 15 abilities once slowly then show you clips of combat. You made the only video I've seen that a genuine beginner can actually learn. Thank you so much. I swear I was close to uninstalling the game because you level up so quick that you don't actually have time to understand your class.
Welcome to World of Warcraft! I'm glad you decided to give it a try. New things can be overwhelming at times, and frustration can lead to giving up. So thank you for sticking around! I really do hope you enjoy mage. I have for many years. I do have a newer video covering Arcane Mage that is in a similar format:
ua-cam.com/video/UMlgwF3QDbw/v-deo.htmlsi=AHMN-MJx4FoojDHK
This video covers some newer content and I feel provides a firm stepping stone to more advanced gameplay. Be sure to read the descriptions of my videos, as they often help beginners on a pathway to success. Again, welcome to the community, and thank you for watching! :)
On a personal note: I like your cat.
All the guides out there make arcane seem so daunting yet you make it seem easy. Great breakdown!
Thanks!
This is the only guide I can apply to the dummy without getting ptsd, you're a hero for making this video man, your first video I've watched and I'm subbing.
Thank you. I enjoy helping folks. There's always more content in the works, stay tuned!
this is the first nice to understand guide ever
@Baeumchenn thanks! I have one on frost and fire too.
Best arcane mage tutorial ever. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you, will do!
first guide ive seen that breaks things down into easy to understand actual basics for someone who is new to the spec and class. great guide thank you.
You're welcome! I'm happy it helped you.
this is like masters degree in communications level of information simplification, holy shit. literally made me pick up the class cause it doesn't seem intimating anymore.
@@papxD mission accomplished!
tysm!! I'll be watching this multiple times until I fully learn. 😃
You got this!
Absolutely incredible guide, the only guide I've seen that breaks down a build the way you do.
Thanks!
HI, brilliant explanation. thank you very much. It is a real nice and easy guide to approch your mage again after a coming back after years.
@@mnestiinternational thanks for watching!
Just wanted to tell you that tonight I was just about to give up playing my mage until I found your video. I love mage, the portals and teleports. The flashy spells and the lore of the class but I was struggling to understand Arcane and it's what I really wanted to play. Your explanation was really easy to understand and now I understand the basic of the spec. As I get more comfortable I'll continue to learn from your videos. I also plan to check out your fire and frost videos.
Long.story short thank you for making this and helping me understand how the spec works so I can enjoy the class I so wanted to play. Please keep making videos!
Sincerely future Archmage Twitch.
I'm very happy to hear it helped you! I derive a genuine joy from hearing comments like these. They let me know I've given someone something incredibly powerful. Knowledge.
2 minutes into the video and this is already the best arcane guide i've seen on YT. Thanks so much
Thanks!
Thank you!! Amazingly clear guide. Simple, concise, and also relaxing to watch!!
Thank you for your support! And I'm glad you enjoyed watching it!
So many have said it before, but thank you, this is what a proper guide is supposed to be like. You have a new subscriber!
You're very welcome. Thank YOU for watching and welcome aboard.
Good god this is an insanely underrated guide. Genuinely how all guides should be - great job and thank you!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching. Be sure to share with your mage friends!
The guide was great and the music amazing
This is an amazing guide and you have a wonderful voice for this
Thanks, now I'm blushing 😊
I've watched this video a few time but I had to come back and post a quick comment. I've played this game for almost 20 years and watched countless videos and I have to say that this is THE BEST how to video that I've ever seen. You do such a great job with your delivery in such a simple way without over complicating the subject... very well done! Now (if you haven't already) you just need to do every other class/spec in the game in the same fashion and you'll be a legend!! :)
Thank you so much!
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to put this together!
You're very welcome! Several people have told me arcane is hard to learn. Hopefully this helps others too.
I appreciate you telling me how to think up top to understand the rest. I like your discovery walkthrough, felt like we were learning together. The building block approach worked really well here. And I liked the background music. Thanks, awesome guide
Thank you! Be sure to check out my other How 2 Mage guides!
Liked and subscribed instantly. If only for the fact that he's talking slow and isn't running around in circles jumping and spinning his camera for no reason. I don't understand why they all do that!!
God bless you sir
Thank you for your kind words.
Awesome video. No clutter and easy to understand 👏
Thanks! Mission accomplished!
WE NEED A GUIDE FOR EVERY SPEC IN THIS STYLE PLEASE! Thankyou for the very nice guide love the way of teaching in this one !
Thanks! And thanks for watching 👀
Best wow guide i've seen, clear simple and very understandable (if you are not a teacher you should be !) - deserving of a sub ! Many thanks sir.
@jasonharris5912 thanks for watching!
bro picked up arcane mage a couple days back on recommendation from a friend , have been searching for a guide for the last 2 days and youre the first one i actually seen explain it in simple terms, excellent guide
Thank you so much, I recommend watching all the arcane ones I have. Each provide a piece of the arcane puzzle. The basics was the perfect place to start!
thanks so much ; as a constant scared of learning new specs person i took a few steps back before trying arcane mage, but the way you're talking, the very pedagogue way of teaching things and, almost learning by your side, makes it very easy for me to understand. it really was a pleasure listening to your advices ♥
Thank you, that was a very kind comment! I just put up another Basics video today! You can find it here:
ua-cam.com/video/-55DAjwGUbw/v-deo.html
Love this video, super clear explanation, keep up the good work
Hey, thanks. Share it with your buds. Together we can turn all the mages arcane. Woah, could you imagine lol
Brilliant Video! I always wanted to try arcane but found it a bit daunting... this was an incredible explanation! It's so much fun :) Thanks for creating a guide like this. Hope to see more in the future :)
You're welcome!
I know a bit about arcane mage, but the way you talk and explain things in a simple.. calm manner, has me watching. Mage can be hectic when in the midst of it all. This is not that.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I actually watched other videos on arcane and thought, geez, how is anyone suppose to pick up on all that at once?
You deserve way more Views really calm and good Guide 🙂
Thanks! Share to help my channel grow.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda i will recommend you too all my mage friends :) because they are frost and fire and say Arcan is too hard LUL
This was very helpful & easy to understand!
Glad it was helpful!
Just rolled arcane mage and god this was so helpful.
Awesome!
What an amazing guide! Thank you! ❤
You're welcome! Thanks for your support.
This is a brilliant guide and very well explained. Thank you so much for this 😊
Thanks!
This is brilliant, THANK YOU!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Hope it was insightful!
Wonderful guide, thank you so much.
Thanks for your time! Glad it was useful to you.
Ah yes. 🧐🍷The Arcane Mage Rotation... Truly exquisite!
THE best guide i have seen! Thank you for this. Next guide, arcane in TWW? Keep up the excellent work! 👌
Mercilion Online, Dalaran, PicepPump, Public and all others. Take notes!
Thanks! I'm already starting to stitch together TWW guide. And I'm looking forward to it's release.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda Wonderful! Can't wait.
absolutely phenomenal work sir. thank you
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 😉
This guide is well explained awesome video thanks a lot !
You're welcome! And thanks for watching!
Really great guide. Thanks alot!
Thank you for commenting! Have fun!
New subscriber well earned, hats off
This has to be the best "arcane for dummies" guide I have yet to see. Thank you for putting this together, particular showing the relationships between spell and how they interact. I feel a lot more confident in trying to play this now. I wish there were more of these for other classes. *chef's kiss*
How did you get your buffs to stream above your action bars? Is that in the default UI? Super neat.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it. And yes, my buff bar is above my action bars as part of the default UI. You can click that little yellow triangle to collapse and expand your buffs shown from long term buffs to short term ones. For more UI tips, check out my vid ua-cam.com/video/0PgmWeeWDEs/v-deo.htmlsi=WpNf9jFASpDth_13
I know i'm very late to the season right now but still wana do some M+ on arcane before TWW.
This guide is amazing!
@@jani14jani Go get it! I believe in you.
Awesome, thank you.
Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you so much! amazing video and easy to follow.... nice job.
And thank you for watching!
This is awasome!!
best guide i ever watched! salut
Glad you enjoyed it! You're the best.
this is incredible.. the first ever real guide on a class i have ever seen. Do you work in education? you approach is so great
Thank you so much! I'm glad you got something out of it. I don't formally teach, but I love the feeling I get when I learn something new.
What a great guide, thank you
You're welcome! Thank YOU for spending the time to watch it.
Well done dude!
Thank you!
Super nice guide and attitude
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I've noticed UA-cam shoving ads into this video. Sorry, it's outside of my control at this time. Adblockplus.org is your best bet to eliminate these ads. I don't monetize any of my videos. I refuse to waste people's time!
A guide that exlains it all, and kills the myth of arcane mages being to hard to play..
this is the only guide you need
You are too kind! Glad you got something from it.
Dude this vid is so helpful
Thanks! I love helping!😃
Best guide on this spec. The community for it seems obsessed with making it seem inaccessible. Reminds me of monks from ff14
Thanks! Hopefully I've opened a doorway into Arcane for someone.
This is brilliant, always loved Arcane mage as my main alt and thinking of maining it in the coming patch.
This was very helpful so thank you!
Would love to get the weakauras you use as well as whatever it is you use to track the buffs.
Thank you. I don't use weak auras. I just look at the buffs.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda Got ya, do you make it so you only show you own buffs? Imagine in raid it gets quite crowded
In a way. I'm actually making a video now that will address that idea. Stay tuned!
Thank you !
@@aordetv 😄
Thanks for making this Video
Your comment just made my morning great!
great guide thank you
Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
Ty, this was helpful. I have been playing frost mage for many, many years. I do wish that they would balance all of the specs better so that you don't feel like you have to go with on over the other. Arcane is over powered compared to the frost and fire.
Glad it helped! I understand. It's like my childhood was frost and my middle age is arcane lol
Something Fancy Happened >< lol You might make a mage out of this Tank yet.
Here's hoping!
Muchas gracias, está súper claro.
Muchas gracias!
make a mm hunter guide like this one
Real good video.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot. Your build seems a lot funnier than the ramp builds u seen on other channels and pages. Do you use the same build in raid? How does it stand compared to others (damage)
I'm glad it helped! For all my builds I've played check out my video on talents: ua-cam.com/video/hSeQ4VKSwmc/v-deo.htmlsi=iS1zcBsMi3KfX7E2
As for dps, I do pretty good. I'm usually top dps in higher mythics, but it all depends on what needs done and who else is in the group. I've went head to head with a 486 fire mage when I was 484 and beat them in dps in Atal level 21. Currently BM hunters, demon hunters, and ret pallys are my dps competitors. Even so, I usually beat them too.
The two great things about this spec and playstyle is the burst aoe is crazy, and single target is amazingly sustainable.
Thank you for your question!
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda I saw the builds one, just want sure if you played all of them. Didnt watch that video fully to be honest but thanks for your patience and quick answer. Gonna try arcane mage following you advice and see how it works out :)
@@dahlstroemable the one called "my spec" is my preferred spec. But all the ones shown are viable in mythics.
I do love Arcane Mage
All the good mages do!
What tallents are you using? Loved the guide. I will try arcane (and mage) for the first time in my life now! Thanks
NVM, i remember i saw it earlier in the video
Good luck and have fun!
Just came back and have been looking to change from healing main and went with mage for something different. Arcane is something i don't see much of and watned to give it a try. This guide makes it very simple to understand the rotation.
Is that guide at the top a WA?
I don't use WA. That's just some macro icons.
Great guide, thank!
I started leveling my mage in the last few days and I grew font of the Arcane spec. I like that it is a bit of a battle mage type of combat in M+.
Question: In a M+ mob pack, If I got a clearcasting proc and have 2-3 charges, do I send an AB with 2-3 charges (and hope Orb Barrage procs) or do I use the cc proc on AE first to get to 4 charges before AB?
That is a really good question!
If you have 1 charge and also have clearcasting, Arcane Explosion would be best, so you get the 4 charges that you can then release.
If you have 2 charges and also have clearcasting, using the clearcasting Arcane Missiles on the primary target followed by 2 Arcane Blast may be the best option. Most M+ Mob packs have a primary kill target, which is usually your interrupt target as well. But if that is not the case, Arcane Explosion would still be best. Then release your Barrage.
If you have 3 charges and also have clearcasting, you could use the clearcasting Missiles on the primary target and only cast one Arcane Blast, then Barrage, then the second Arcane Blast. But if that is not the case, release that Barrage and pray the the Blizzard gods you get an orb!
Great question, thanks for asking!!!
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda I guess the tier set promotes weaving in AM also. Thanks for your answer. Sometimes I got lucky with low charged AB and having 4 proccs back to back. love that feeling
It's always nice to Barrage with one charge and get 4 in return :)@@mikem2k6
Thanks so much for the guide it was great, only other thing I really would like to know is stats for arcane as I have no clue I heard to many different things now I’m confused.
The best thing may be to get "True Stat Values" as a mod. So when you scroll over your stats, it tells you the cap. But as a general rule: mastery 1, crit 2, haste 3.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda thanks for the advice with the stats, but i dont use addons so ill stick to mas crit haste thanks
10 minute average for these learning videos. Arcane: Hold my fucking beer please.
I legit just lmao 🤣
Take this Like and Abo - Great and calm guide.
Thank you!
So arcane was one the specs i thought i will never play since people said was 2 damn difficult. And since mage was the only class i didn’t have at 70 i decided to make one and in searching for a frost guide i found your page and now im at lvl 30 and i can’t stop playing arcane.
So for my question, do you use this build for st? Ty in advance for all
This is a one-size-fits all. I use this spec for everything. It is easy to start learning with and is also deeply nuanced. I run this spec for myrhics and raids. I may use a ramp spec for certain raid bosses. Thank you for watching!
When you get fluid with the spec, more complex parts will emerge. For example, timing a rotation to utilize Arcane Harmony, or offsetting the timing of Presence of Mind. There's a lot packed in there!
Ofc the best arcane guide is made by a vulpera 🐭🐁
Lol! Fox power!
How are you getting your buffs to show only spell related procs? I have weekly buff, whatever consumables I have on.... Or do you not have any buffs at all during this video aside from the ones being generated through talents?
Little yellow triangle by your buff bar that looks like a Play button. Click it😃
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda Thanks for the quick reply, but mine is still showing my other buffs like mount, remix cloak buff, weekly buffs, etc. I didn't see an option anywhere on what buffs to not show so I'm assuming you don't have any other buffs on in this video that would show?
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemandaope... I think I got it now. Thanks for the great video! First time playing a mage
hello do u have the weak aura and talent layout i want to try this on the mage im having issues with
My talents are shown at 14:55. As for the WA, I don't use it unfortunately. But you'll want to track the following: nether precision, clearcasting, arcane surge. Once you get 4 set bonus, start also tracking: arcane battery, arcane artillery. As for cooldowns; presence of mind, shifting power, touch of the magi, arcane surge. Hope this helps and good luck!
Is there any healing on the mage? When taking on outnumbered mobs or PvP?
Thanks for the great guide!
@allenmanyen1226 your shield Prismatic Barrier) is your self damage absorb. Your mass barrier is a talent on the mage side that gives your group your shield. Also, the diverted energy talent passively heals you. Alter time also heals, it's one of the last spells used in the vid.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda thank you for response! So best to try to keep your shields up!
tell me you have one for frost 😭 your way to teach awsome
Actually...I am working on one!
Hello! I wanna learn how to play mage. Im a veteran player for over 15 years but never play mage so i dont know shit. Should i start with this video ? or which one do u recommend?
Start with this one. I have a "Basics Playlist" that includes Fire and Frost too, as well as some more information about Arcane. Watching this one and the How 2 Frost Mage guide will give you a pretty good idea of what mage is all about. Have fun!
How do i get my buffs to show mid screen like yours?
in Edit mode, it's your buffs, you can move them wherever. the little yellow triangle switches the buffs from long to short term.
Subbed 🎉
Thanks for helping me grow!
What are those addons you use?
And wondering if you have a build video?
I don't use many add-ons. I always run the add on called Details! For a dps meter. When I get new gear, I turn on True Stat Values, which show where my stats should be. And I run the Raider.io add on when doing mythics. I'm not fond of add-ons, they clutter up my UI and add what I consider distractions. The UI I use regularly is on my How 2 Arcane Mage: UI, Keybinds, Macro video. The UI seen here was set up so the video was easier to understand 😀
Not yet! But one is in the works covering 4 Arcane Mage setups, and how they are used, so stay tuned and thank you for your questions.
How to Arcane mage, basics ... 40 minute video ... basics ... 40 minutes ...
Thanks for watching! Arcane has a bit of info to cover. Hopefully by putting the most requested information at the front of the video, helps viewers get the understanding they need right away so they can quickly jump back in game and explore for themselves. See ya in game!
Welcome to wow and why it’s currently hated/failing
OMG>>>>HELP...... I love arcane, im at 496 itm lvl and barely over 150k dps.... i was MURKING shit before the new season
I recommend getting your 4 set back. Or keep your old 4 set on until you get the new one.
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda can i friend you on WoW? Deathvixen#1520
Man I really love arcane the look of the spells and the way it plays, but my damage I really bad, I did a plus 2 AV today I did 62 k dps and the group said I should be doing 170k soo I’m kinda lost granted I am 467 maybe they were 480+ as they were geared last season I’ll keep going but I’m not sure I’ll stay arcane I’ll try frost
Don't be discouraged, things are always wonky at the beginning of an expansion. Check out my other guides and maybe those will be a better fit for you. Good luck!
Hey 😀 just checking in. Did thing get better?
@@ArcaneBrillianceMagemanda there getting there dude, still not got it down yet but im getting better ill keep you posted, thanks for catching up;-)
We could run something together if you'd like. I could give you some pointers and tips to help. Hit me up in-game if you’re interested 😊.
BATTLETAG: Magemanda#1485
We can coordinate something in-game.
