[:1]So I've been playing for the entire time ive been 85, my guild just started attempts on merloriak and I've set up an arcane spec for the slow. ive been trying it in heroics and how do you guys do it? there's so little to do spamming 2 buttons and managing mana i get there's some technique to it but it comes off as dull to me and every time i move i feel like im losing mountains of dps with only arcane barrage and my PoM macro to use. anyone able to give me some tips or tell me something im missing? where does the charm in this spec lie? i get decent dps in it a good 12-13k in heroics just seems dull.D:
Well what do you do during a heroic boss fight?
Like what spells do you use in what order?
normally stack up 4 stacks of AB, pop cds burn down my mana evocate back up keep my mana relatively high until the cds are ready again rinse repeat. pretty basic im sure theres things i could do better but atm im only gonna be useing it for meloriak unless it gets alot more fun : /
Arcane consists of three cycles, the burn phase where you blow everything , (Gem, AP, trinkets, ect)down to 35% mana. The regain phase, where you evocate back to full and the conservative phase where you hang at around 90-95% mana until evocation comes off cooldown.
That's it really. The only real 'charm' of the spec is knowing when to use the burn cycle, such as when a certain boss mechanic makes it the most prominent to do so and when you can Evocate without being interrupted.
That said I don't really enjoy arcane much myself but it's important to familiarize yourself with all three specs and make yourself fluent in whatever your raid demands.
One of the things that separates a good mage from an average one.
