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.
Frist Arcane talents to lvl 50.
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.
Then ether Fire or Frost to lvl 60.
As such:
For Frost: Elemental Precision, Frost Warding, Frostbite, Improved Frost Nova.
For Fire: Impact, Flame Throwing, Improved Fire Blast.
And then the other to lvl 70. And once lvl 80 comes out, you'll have 10 more...

Fire vs. Frost DPS2009-04-07 00:00:00 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 l...

mage raiding build2009-04-07 00:00:00it but it is deadly in a raid. you pick up all of the spell damage, crit, clear casting boosts from arcane but you continue to spam
frost bolt. its not too bad on mana either. 40/0/21 is amazing!

what kind mage can do the max AOE DMG2009-04-07 00:00:00 frost has aoe control. Over all
frost is best for AoE and if you do it maybe 50 times or so you'll find that you can kill as many people as you want with it. Take all the peopl in an entire continent and kill them, theres no restrictions to
frost aoe.or you know you could just, blizz, blizz blizz and they're dead. i aoe grind and

What stats are most important for arcane raiding?2009-04-07 00:00:00New to the arcane tree for raiding. Used to be 53/18 Frostfire bolt spec'd and not sure exactly what stats to worry most about.
Hear a lot of mages saying that haste is one of the most important, but as far as hit, spell power, crit, spirit and int goes not sure which to worry most and least about.
Currently my spec is 57/3/11.
Picked up the 3%% hit with Arcane Focus and 3%% with precision.
Any info?u have the raid spec u need from the arc tree. thats a good spec. im an arcane mage and while my spec is a little different than yours mine fits my playstyle. all mages no matter what spec the stats are the same. intel, spellpower, crit, spirit if available with those stats, and stam. and since ur new to arcane then the major glyphs that i have that u may want to get are arcane blast, mage armour, and i use the evo glyph (helps the healers out in those oh shit moments). also your spell rotation should look like this
arc blast x3
arc barrage
arc missles when missle barrage procs.
arc barrage
rinse and repeat
arcane power when you have the mana to do so because...
