Fire/Arc raiding spec2009-04-07 00:00:0060/11/0
arcane spec, i was a fire/arc spec in Burning Crusade and always loved the DPS and more mana efficiency than
arcane (which is an epic dps spec). So i was wondering if anyone had any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism for the build I've been working on. Oh, and if you jus...
Arcane Mage - DPS God2009-04-07 00:00:00In my opinion, the Arcane Mage is the true king of dps. Whether you agree or disagree, plz post your comments so that I might gauge my thinking. If there are enough responses, I will give my reason...Arcane by itself.....NO. Arcane and Fire combined....YES. Dps Kings they are. I have recently respecced my Mage to Fire/Arcane (PoM/Pyro)as to take advantage of Ignite and Incinerate. They add Dots as well as your 2500 to 3500 crits, sure an Arcane can get upwards of 6k, BUT, as my spec now, I need to let my tank get 12k threat before I can even attack. I love the DPS spec so much better. Hope that's what you were lookin' for.What I think the best the mage is a mix of all three.

Do as such:
Arcane Focus, Magic Absorption, Arcane Concentration, Arcane Fortitude, Arcane Meditation, Improved Mana Shield, Improved Blink, Arcane Mind, Prismatic Cloak, Arcane Potency, Spell Power, Empowered Arcane Missiles, Mind Mastery, Slow.

90% Mana Regen While Casting2009-04-07 00:00:0090%% Mana Regen While Casting
With the new talents for the Mage, something absolutely wonderful occured. It is possible to spec into 60%% Mana Regen While Casting. The Arcane Talent: Arcane Meditation allows 30%% and the Fire Talent: Pyromaniac allows 30%%. Combined with Mage Armor for an additional 30%% gives you a total of 90%%. This can be accomplished while still keeping a heavy Fire dps build, or, my personal favorite, a crit Scorch build. Because your primary spell is Scorch, you have almost unlimited mana and you...
Wondering if this tree might work2009-04-07 00:00:00then Arcane became a kiting spec. If the target is just standing there, fire a frostbolt or
arcane blast and then hit them with Slow. Melee targets are walking and rang...
Fire vs. Frost DPS2009-04-07 00:00:00Clearly, fire has more dps. I'm considering going frost though for a number of reasons. Survivability, AOE, Water Elemental, and Less Threat are some of those reasons.
On the other hand, I love damage. My question is, how large is the gap between frost and fire DPS? i have been both frost & fire at lvl 70
i would say about 15%% more damage (per second) for fire
if you use scorch 5x probably a third more dps
fire criticals are a little higher but are a lot meaner due to ignite in terms of total damage
frost does more damage per second against frozen targets, does more damage per second with a water elemental and does more damage per second with icy veins, probably in all 3 cases more than a fire mage does but a fire mage can sustain more damage for a long time and likely overall do more damage
still do not underestimate the frost mageWhy would fire mages be able to take more damage?Icy vien is a very helpfull skill, i love it for when your get to boss you got a smaller amount of cast time so your cast out many many icebolt.
62 frost mage icy veins decreases your spell casting time by 20%% for a short time, good temporary boost, insignificant in the long run
just 20%% more damage for a few seconds, 2...

arcane wud be good too.I'm a great fire spec'd mage, look me up on Wowarmory.com(name is bloodrise, I'm an undead mage)And I only run out of mana when a raid boss mob is 20%%, even then I still have evocation, mana gems, and pots.
