Haha yesterday on heroic run, dropped 3 blue items and 1 epic ring from trash mob. The ring is a world drop and something of edward the odd

Keii SG

During the raid of course will be like that. Tbh, I was also about to rage at you. But what's done is done, just hope you buck up.

deathwish SG

Haha i complain is complain but just ignore me when i do dat...

Keii SG

That's nothing, everyone does it. We have the charts and numbers, and trust me, it's something you don't wanna get caught in again. Lol.

tare SG

i'm a lock, i dun dream to top dps... my theory, as long as i survive the fight = more dps done... die liao how to dps? :P

and of cos must improve from wat i was b4... if no improve means i can go bang wall lor... 2mths + in the game, i should have learn something mah...

erm... i did right? *nervous*

Midlusionz SG

The buffs here are designed primarily to make Arcane more competitive with Fire / Frostfire builds in PvE. Because they could end up buffing Arcane in PvP, we are prepared to adjust the damage of say Arcane Barrage if needed, but we want to see these in action on the PTR first.

Mage PvE damage in general is something we are keeping a close eye on. With the recent hunter changes, many of which were nerfs to PvE damage, we want to make sure mages now don’t break away from the pack of damage-dealing specs.

    * Evocation – cooldown reduced to 4 min.
    * Arcane Flows – now also reduces the cooldown of Evocation by an additional 1 / 2 min.
    * Arcane Blast – overhauled. Will now increase the damage of your next Arcane spell by 30%. However using Arcane Blast itself does not consume the charge, but instead increases the mana of your next Arcane Blast, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. You can alternate Blast and Barrage to keep buffing Barrage, or you can build Blast up higher for a heavy mana cost.
    * Torment the Weak – now works with Arcane Blast and does bonus damage to targets afflicted by any kind of slowing effect (e.g. Thunder Clap).
    * Elemental Precision – renamed Precision and now works on all spells.
    * Improved Blizzard – snaring effect reduced to 20/40/50%

tare SG

woohoo.... el should be happy rite?

okie i know nuts abt mages but tat seems like they r getting a buff rite?

tare SG

wah ah mid.. ur thread on featured leh wahahahahahaaa

elindra SG

YAHHHH LONG LIVE THE ARCANE MAGE

Go home I'm going to respec back liao!!!!!

elindra SG

And it seems they are making Arc/Frost the spec to use again

The additional spell hit from Precision is going to be so useful!!!!!

tare SG

i see el very excited and happy hehehee...

wonder if they'll buff lock or not :P

elindra SG

i see el very excited and happy hehehee...

wonder if they'll buff lock or not :P

Maybe in due time ba

I do agree Lock dps now a bit cmi >.<"

It's very exciting lor coz if elemental precision applies to Arcane too than I dun need so much spell hit from gears liao

Also the spare points can put into fire for more crit for AOE spells also

Become quite a hybrid leh

elindra SG

But I find the theorycrafters a bit boring leh

They thinking on how to incorporate the new Arcane changes with FrostFire

Maybe I have not hit 80 and raiding to see the point of the FFB rotation but from what I see the normal heroics have a lot of movement and FFB spec cannot churn out much since cast halfway have to move leh

I wonder why Deep Arcane = PvP when I think it's very much viable now

Hmmmmm

Jagabee SG

Arcane spec for PVP is very good because it allows the mage to run around and keep spamming the arcane barrage every 3 seconds..and it hurts like hell too ^_^

Eh I just realised that doing heroics in a new spec for mages does not justify how much dmg you can really do..

5 man = Normal farming spec

10 man+ = Raid spec

so..for 5 man raids...using a deep frost spec or quick shooting arcane spec would be good

I think frostfire spec would be OP for raids because of the longer fights which means you get more time to up the scorch and also all the other spells like ignite and stuffs like that.

im gonna try frostfire spec again once we go for a raid..but in the meantime...think ill stick to frost for 5 mans =D

Deathwish, I think you are having this same problem as well..in heroics your dps is lacking because mobs die too fast...but in raids your dps is much higher..so if you wanna up your dps in 5 man heroics...change spec lol

Keii SG

Deep Arcane for PvP is reaaaally good. Doing damage while on the move, bonus damage on snared targets etc etc.

Imagine no one's aiming you yet, you just stand outside taking pot shots, and your barrage procs.

elindra SG

I was thinking that about raid too but if the raid boss have a lot of movement also a bit GG lor

I'm switching back to Arcane for 5 men heriocs coz really move to move to do any DPS at all .

But with Torment of the weak, a Arcane Fire spec seems very very viable for raids

Actually I think it's good for PvE too especially with the instances all having to move around so much

Like in Occulus I could hardly DPS coz have to keep running

Made me wish I was Arcane spec again

But Arcane for PvP really nice sia.

I have to say that Hot Streak is quite sucky for Fire leh

The proc rate is SHIT

And I"m very sure of that coz I have all the animation and sound to inform me when it procs so I never miss it!!!

elindra SG

Arc Frost seems good too coz that means 6% hit leh

I can reduce my hit gear and go for other bonuses instead too

Keii SG

I hate Hot Streak. >:(

Anywho, Edon is so tempted and excited to get back to WoW that he's poisoning his superior to play WoW.

Best of all, he's even convinced him to get a new system and is accompanying him tonight to go get one.

Lol.

Edon is one power salesman >.<

Hot Streak if it procs is super

But the proc rate is terrible!

And these few days I wanna smash the monitor coz it keeps proccing when the mob dies!!!

elindra SG

So in view of that, I'm going back to Arcane and I wanna try Arcane spec in raid before messing around with FFB specs

I rememebred my Arcane procs was wonderful
