8:40 the talent tree being symmetrical while warlocks looks like a puzzle is a 200 IQ move, as we know from the cosmology chart arcane is order and fel is disorder in the warcraft lore.
As a moderate M+ player and heroic raider my problems with arcane have been: Takes way to long to get into the rotation, which has been alleviated quite a bit by removing spark and the echoing spell, but will still take you a minimum of 4 seconds on a pull if you end up evoing at the start of a pack pull in M+. Though now in beta i keep looking for other buttons to use with evo running and only Surge/barrage+touch, not sure i like it but does feel better than seeing a pack halfway dead before you can do any damage. Aoe is still too much based on PROCS like live, I hate slot machine builds when your total DPS at the end of a dungeon can vary just based off of RNG. The difference in getting procs and not is startling with orbs. I miss the Kyrian Barrage build from shadowlands so much in aoe, was so nice to annihilate things with enormous burst. Why has barrage fallen so far behind. Testing in beta using harmony i still could not get barrage to really amp its damage and thats with two main mechanics boosting it (charges and harmony) Why oh Why does Arcane explosion eat our damn clear casting stacks, makes no sense whatso ever and really wish they would take that off. I just don't understand or see what damage niche type is arcane supposed to be fulfilling in the current gameplay landscape. We aren't as bursty as we used to be, we aren't really a funnel and only one major uncapped aoe spell thats based on RNG procs.
I remember when magehub was the gold standard. I assume you're busy with rl stuff which is fine, but I wouldn't recommend your outdated guides and sims to anyone. You probably should retire or pass on some of the mage responsibilities to someone else who cares about all 3 specs.

Welcome to the council of the main character class ☺️
Absolutely love the cast men. Cant wait for it to get on spotify so I can listen during my commute.
Just as a heads up I wont be frequently uploading to spotify because its a massive PITA compared to youtube
In a world where hunter devs exist, mage devs are GODs.
True 😂
fire mage devs*
Crazy how they've just added Deathbourne without a second thought to frost and haven't touched it since despite tons of alpha and beta feedback.
