Question, what is the reason for picking Energized Familiar over Charged Orb? Is is mainly because we shouldn't be casting Arcane Orb unless we need charges or because of the mana we get from our Familiar?
Thanks for the feedback! I'll most likely be keeping it going forward since the reception has been so positive. Already have some ideas for how to make it look cleaner as well.
I think having the prio list and highlighting what you are doing and how it fits the prio list is a really nice addition to watching the demonstration of the rotation. Really nice guide!
Sounds stupid bit its so much easier to follow everything I saw another guide where the dude is just babling away and i can feel myself being not focused
Was looking all over the place for a proper video guide to arcane mage and couldn't find one. Happy I found this one since it's an absolute gem, other youtubers just ramble a bunch of rules and spellnames with little to no editing, do a rotation for a little bit and then finish the video off with "And it's that simple". Thank you for the thorough explanation and very clear editing
extremely helpful to have those highlights up next to the video. I still need to set the yt playback speed to 0.5 to be able to follow and understand exactly what is happening when, but this is for sure the best and most understandable arcane guide out there
When you think the guides can't become better, he is just gonna put the prio list next to the demo and makes your mind blow. fantastic guide once again. easily the goat.
Extremely brand new player dipping into WoW, and I couldn't for the life of me understand conceptually the idea of priority lists. I am so grateful that you spent time breaking down how each part interacted with each other and highlighted every priority you were going through during the demos. It made learning so much more intuitive! Would love for you to continue making guides like this :) If there's anything I'd like to ask for, it'd be having the .txt files or atleast a copy/paste in the description so I could study/memorize on my own time
Hands down the best arcane guide out there with no skipping what any of the abilities do, how they are combined, just beautiful to learn from this. Thank you for such information and I hope you will continue to provide us with such content for mage. Cheers.
This is by far the best arcane guide out there, actually takes time to explain it slowly and properly, I feel like i actually have an idea of wtf im doing on arcane now, so my wrists can take a rest from spamming icelance :)
Having the priority list up and highlighting as you move through the rotation is a great addition. There is so much context switching when you are first learning, but it also helps figure out the more nuanced details as your skills improve. Bottom Line - Outstanding! Thanks!
Honestly i feel like you’ve done a much better job on this guide than the previous one, the way you explained and showed how BoP works before the rotation was brilliant for someone like me who has never played arcane, I think your highlight the priority list is a great idea too but very had to keep up with for such a fast spec, great video
Cannot stress how helpful the highlighted section during the demo is. Other videos i end up having to take a screen cap of the authors notepad while watching the demo and you still have to try and dart your eyes to what they are doing in relation to the steps. This was very easy to follow along, great job.
i just started playing wow maybe 2 1/2 months ago and this is the best guide I've encountered already doing so much more damage. definitely earned a subscribe from me
In S4 of DF, I peaked at Rank 50 World for M+ Arcane Mage (not that a lot of competition was playing compared to S3!)... I like to believe I know Arcane (HOPEFULLY?!), and now especially SF! But man, I love watching your guide(s), now & previous xpac(s), from start to finish even I don't have takeaways at this point. It's great reassurance and always seeing the minor talent tree differences between each top mage is fun to play around with. I think the highlighting on the notepad of steps during live gameplay is the biggest innovation amongst all of the Arcane creators thus far! I hope to see [Heroic/Mythic(?)] POVs from the raid & dungeons! Happy Season 1, good luck, and thanks for the vids!
Great breakdown and I really like the side-by-side where you have the text being highlighted as you are going through the rotation. As a new mage, the one thing I would like is if you could indicate the visual queue we are looking for when you get the procs; Burden of Power, Glorius Incandescence, Aether Attunement, etc.
I don't usually write on youtube, but just wanted to say this was the most goated breakdown I've seen. the whole showing the notepad with what is actually happening helped me check and fix a critical error I was making. So I really wanna thank you for the time and effort you've put into this.
This is an absolutely exceptional guide, man. The highlighting showing WHY you're casting WHAT when you are is outstandingly helpful. The only possible request I could make is maybe include a 15-20 second rundown of where the buffs you describe are on your specific UI. I use atrocityUI and I'm also a noob, so I had to spend some time identifying the different buffs in order to watch what buffs you are getting and when. But, honestly, that is also work that can be done by the viewer, as this isn't necessarily a *beginner's* guide. Thanks a ton for all the work you put into this.
As a returning player your guide have been a blessing. THANK YOU!. Love how you explain essential stuff the player needs to know about like spell clipping, etc. Also love that you take your time explaining everything while the video shows what you are talking about. Even though its a lot it never feels overwhelming. You won me over. Congrats, keep up the good work.
Fucking amazing video. This is so informative and simply laid out. No extra ba, just exactly what we need. The only change I would think is maybe in a voice over explain what you’re doing in the rotation while it’s being highlighted (it’s easier than following along visually)
This is such a good guide. It makes it so much easier for me to pick up a new class this expansion especially as I'm returning again. This time I hope to stick around longer than half an expansion. I'm loving mage so far even though it is more complex than other DPS classes. Especially with your guide...so good! Thanks for taking the time to share this with the community!!
best video so far in my opinion, and while the text guide next to the single target example wasn't super helpful to me in the current moment, I would have loved it if I had just picked up the spec and this would deff be the video I'd send to a friend if they were interested in learning. Thanks for the video, hopefully the devs are done making changes to this spec that affect gameplay every other week.
I saw the comments on the previous videos giving suggestions on how it would be more easier to clarify the rotation demo - and I'm really glad that you followed the priority list suggestion someone gave. Thank you for incorporating the feedback. Very clear video. Looking forward to your future content.
So reading the comments first, I was sceptical and had doubt that this was just going to be another generic guide but I’ve gotta say, the highlighting of each step during your demo was a really nice touch. Helped a lot seeing what step you’re on and why you’re doing it. Thank you!!
Another goated guide for all of us struggling arcane mages out here 🔥 I'd do tricks on it for a weak aura that says "charges refillable" or something whenever one of the conditions for barrage is met instead of having to track BoP, GI and Intuition individually
This is very clear, let's say thanks to this awesome arcane mage that every 3 days help us with better rotation covering every small change. Is a pleasure to follow u Phosphoros
Great guide, really helped me understand what to do with my clearcasting procs which was something I struggled with after main swapping to mage. The suggestions for tracking W/A's is doing wonders for me too. Thanks a ton for this outstanding guide!
The list on the side is a nice addition but I also liked your last video where u talked while doing the rotation. I could go back over and over and have the words engraved in my slow brain.
Amazing guide, thank you. I would love to see you do a voiceover comenting on what you are thinking/doing during a mythic+ dungeon, aproaching pulls. what to do while ur moving and tank is still pulling mobs, this kind of stuff, would help everyone learn a lot, just an idea. again, thanks for the great video
Fantastic guide, thank you! You earned a subscriber :) I've come back to this a few times to make sure I'm executing the rotation correctly. Well done :)
I’m someone who has always struggled with arcane and I’m forcing myself to learn it for this tier. I’m tired of behind behind because I like fire/frost. This guide is very well done. You did a very good job of breaking things down into easy to digest segments. You didn’t just quickly go through the rotation, as if you were talking to someone who has been playing the spec for years. Thank you
Well this is the first one that actually explained things clearly. I can play it now! lmao Other guides just tell you what to do, they don't tell you WHY to do them.
Great video, as someone who has never tried arcane yet it is still hard/fast to follow the demo, but that is probably much easier like you said after you try it and get a feel for it. If there was anything else I could offer to help someone like me, it might be to just handhold during the demo with pauses and say what exactly you are reacting to on your screen that tells you what your next action is going to be.
heya, thanks for everything, great guide you made there. however in my opinion during 3m gameplay your audio comments would be ideal (alongside with the written ones on right part of the screen like you had now).
Hi Phosphoros! Thanks for the detailed guide! I was a melee dps since wotlk and thanks to your arcane mage videos I tried out ranged dps the first time. I actually really like it
Brother this was easily your best guide yet... and I've watched them all. Insanely useful and as I've said before you explain it better than anyone else can. Helps the viewers to UNDERSTAND WHY we are doing stuff instead of just blindly copying a rotation list. Amazing edit: My only question I'd have is what do you recommend for dealing with trash mobs in like dungeons? I often feel like I don't want to burn my big cooldowns for trash packs (like I want to save them for the boss), but then my only real source of AOE is the cleave from Barrage and the Attunement missiles. I end up burning all my charges and end up with slow cast time. Is it better to just keep running the full damage rotation constantly even if you don't have everything up for Boss spawns?
Hey sorry for the late reply, been getting alot of engagement lately and sometimes a few comments slip through! First of all, appreciate the support and kind words :D Second, Arcane is very much "suffering from success" at the moment where we just deal way too much damage for the difficulty of content available. Once M+ comes out and mobs survive long enough for us to pump all our damage into Touch it will feel alot better. Until then, it's advised to follow the Spellslinger rotation in AoE as Sunfury, since things die way too quick otherwise.
This is always a spec ive gotten overwhelmed trying to learn for 2 xpacs now, always loved arcane and with Havoc dh being shit right now i told myself id finally play what i find to be the most fun/cool spec in the game. Your guide is the only guide in my eyes lol the only one that has allowed me to actually understand wtf is going on without people just shouting terms and ability names at me that i dont know about
Great Video! I just want to make sure I got this, I want to barrage basically every Burden of Power with or without NP. In best case scenario we ill be able to spell queue barrage with a NP stack AND Burden or Power to get back into either blasting or consuming clear casting then back into blasting.
Highly highly appreciated man!! That helps a LOT!! Thank you for all your good and hard Work!! Keep it Up, you deserve more subs :D I Just started playing arcane mage or mage in general, cause of your Videos! And i thrikin Love it! My DMG is insane, and i learn new things of every single Video! So thank you for that :D Sorry for my english, i come from Germany! Take Care
Thanks for the guide. I like the Priority list next to it, maybe leave the upper right part open, so we can still track your buffs. Trying to understand the weak aura instantly, when you are used to your own might be slower than just looking at the buffs. Anyways, great job!
Found it very helpful to follow the notepad while you were doing your rotation. One question - Just trying to compare notes with wowhead for ST rotation barrage condition (yours being "You have any amount of NP.. and have burden of power" Compared to wowhead: "You are not casting Arcane Blast, have 2 Nether Precision stacks and any of Burden of Power, Glorious Incandescence or Intuition (tier)"
Took me a while to actually figure this out by watching you it’s complicated but understandable… use big GCDs on CD (fit in sequence tho) barrage when bar is full or when surge just dissipates I see little buff you spam on. I need to get the bar and probably the buff tracking weak aura. I was casting everything in wrong sequence in opener 😂 Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this, such a detailed guide. If I may have a few notes: 1) Some points in the priority list can be a bit confusing. For example at 2/c. I thought "have any amount" means anything from 0 to 2. I would suggest writing ">=1" or "at least one" for clarification. (At 26:27 it would be an Arcane Barrage instead of Missiles if 0 charges would be enough for it.) 2) At 25:15 you cast according to point 5, but point 4 would be the priority. Does point 4 only apply if you have 2 or more Arcane Charges? (In the video you have 1 AC, 2 NP and 2 Clearcasting) 3) According to the prio list at 26:05 you should have casted Barrage instead of Blast (2/b). I guess spellqueuing with Glorious Incandescence is better, so Burden of Power shouldn't be under that point.
The guide is great - especailly with the parts where you show what you're casting and highlighting it (have to watch it a few times though). Can you share the addons/weakauras you're using and how they're tracking the different buffs? I think that's the next step that needs to be covered after the basics.
Thank you for the support! Here are my most important Weakaura trackers: Nether Precision Tracker: wago.io/-ApNbKpq1 Clearcasting + Aether Attunement Tracker: wago.io/c8zvYCldS Spellfire Spheres + Burden of Power Tracker: wago.io/zdM6nWaf6 In the description of this video I have a list of the addons I use. Slightly out of date but if there's anything you need specifically just let me know: ruclips.net/video/h5zlMEOi-Ik/видео.html
If you want to be more single target focused in the Raid Cleave build you can remove High Voltage and Orb Barrage and keep 2 points in Prodigious Savant. *Always take Arcing Cleave over Consortium's Bauble in multi-target though.*

That green highlights while you were playing out the guided rotation, were sooooo helpful.
Keep up the good work man🎉
Question, what is the reason for picking Energized Familiar over Charged Orb? Is is mainly because we shouldn't be casting Arcane Orb unless we need charges or because of the mana we get from our Familiar?
The highlighting during the 3m rotation is one of the most helpful things I have ever seen in a class guide
Thanks for the feedback! I'll most likely be keeping it going forward since the reception has been so positive. Already have some ideas for how to make it look cleaner as well.
I think having the prio list and highlighting what you are doing and how it fits the prio list is a really nice addition to watching the demonstration of the rotation. Really nice guide!
Sounds stupid bit its so much easier to follow everything
I saw another guide where the dude is just babling away and i can feel myself being not focused
strongly agree
very nice I agree. good stuff phosphoros
Yes it's godlike. It's probably a lot more work to setup/edit so thank you!

How does he ALAAYS have misses after two blasts. Sometimes I don't
love the rotation section. Having the priority list alongisde you gameplay is gold. I hope you keep making content, because it is top notch!
oh my god. just stumbled upon this video for a guide. best one yet! Take my (small) money. Keep it up!
Thank you for the support Andrew it means a lot!

Keeping the list on the right hand side during the 3 minute demo is brilliant. Nobody has explained it as masterfully as you.
Came from Classic, you have the best guides for mage on the internet. Thank you so much!
bald
Having the priority list up and highlighting as you move through the rotation is a great addition. There is so much context switching when you are first learning, but it also helps figure out the more nuanced details as your skills improve. Bottom Line - Outstanding! Thanks!
This is the best class/spec guide I've ever watched, and I've been a noob for 20 years. Incredible work here, we appreciate you man.
Awesome tutorial, usually mage guides seem so bloated, but this guide is really neat and easy to understand. Good Job!

This is amazing, I can actually slow it down and see everything live, conditions and spells being cast, good job mate!
That was by far the best rotation demo i have seen amazing job!
Prio list, highlighting and rotation showcase make this the best explanation Ive seen, thank you very much
In S4 of DF, I peaked at Rank 50 World for M+ Arcane Mage (not that a lot of competition was playing compared to S3!)... I like to believe I know Arcane (HOPEFULLY?!), and now especially SF! But man, I love watching your guide(s), now & previous xpac(s), from start to finish even I don't have takeaways at this point. It's great reassurance and always seeing the minor talent tree differences between each top mage is fun to play around with.
I think the highlighting on the notepad of steps during live gameplay is the biggest innovation amongst all of the Arcane creators thus far!
I hope to see [Heroic/Mythic(?)] POVs from the raid & dungeons!
Happy Season 1, good luck, and thanks for the vids!
Great breakdown and I really like the side-by-side where you have the text being highlighted as you are going through the rotation.

This is an absolutely exceptional guide, man. The highlighting showing WHY you're casting WHAT when you are is outstandingly helpful. The only possible request I could make is maybe include a 15-20 second rundown of where the buffs you describe are on your specific UI. I use atrocityUI and I'm also a noob, so I had to spend some time identifying the different buffs in order to watch what buffs you are getting and when. But, honestly, that is also work that can be done by the viewer, as this isn't necessarily a *beginner's* guide. Thanks a ton for all the work you put into this.
best arcane mage guide out there by FARRR. ty man !
As a returning player your guide have been a blessing. THANK YOU!. Love how you explain essential stuff the player needs to know about like spell clipping, etc. Also love that you take your time explaining everything while the video shows what you are talking about. Even though its a lot it never feels overwhelming. You won me over. Congrats, keep up the good work.
Great structure of the video, liked the split-screen notepad follow-along!
You have the absolute best explanation of this , man idk how you dont have more followers. You are da man!
Fucking amazing video. This is so informative and simply laid out. No extra ba, just exactly what we need. The only change I would think is maybe in a voice over explain what you’re doing in the rotation while it’s being highlighted (it’s easier than following along visually)
you are the go to guides for arcane when i decide to get back to WoW for M+ and raid push brother
Just wanted to say you did a great job with the highlighting during the demo, keep up the great work :)

Coming back to say you cleared some of my doubts with the new 3 minutes rotation with the priority list highlighting the conditions. Great job!
I never played mage on this game but you helped me understand from basics to advances, I really appreciate that!
I saw the comments on the previous videos giving suggestions on how it would be more easier to clarify the rotation demo - and I'm really glad that you followed the priority list suggestion someone gave. Thank you for incorporating the feedback. Very clear video. Looking forward to your future content.
Loved the video! 🔥
Would love to see a video about smart places to use defensive abilities in dungeons. Or other mage tricks to kick off the season.
Best and most comprehensible guide i have found ever. Thanks !!
Thank you for this guide.
Thank you so much for your generosity it means alot
So reading the comments first, I was sceptical and had doubt that this was just going to be another generic guide but I’ve gotta say, the highlighting of each step during your demo was a really nice touch. Helped a lot seeing what step you’re on and why you’re doing it. Thank you!!

@@GagarineYuri Oh, I haven't made the weak aura for that. I was just suggesting it in general.
Always my first/best source for arcane guide. Welcome back sir.
This is very clear, let's say thanks to this awesome arcane mage that every 3 days help us with better rotation covering every small change. Is a pleasure to follow u Phosphoros

I loved the Demo with the highlighted steps. Rota is also way easier than i thought
You rock man - love the highlighting during rotation breakdown - unique and clean!!
Great guide, really helped me understand what to do with my clearcasting procs which was something I struggled with after main swapping to mage. The suggestions for tracking W/A's is doing wonders for me too. Thanks a ton for this outstanding guide!
This style with the rotation on the side is super useful!

The list on the side is a nice addition but I also liked your last video where u talked while doing the rotation. I could go back over and over and have the words engraved in my slow brain.
Easiest guide to understand by far, nothing comes even close.

Wow Bro, insane video, I just started 1 months ago and its exactly the kind of content I was looking for! Big thanks, and great work!
Dude, this was great. I'm new to arcane mage so this helps a ton!
Dido
Well this is the first one that actually explained things clearly. I can play it now! lmao
Other guides just tell you what to do, they don't tell you WHY to do them.
I LOVE THE DEMO, the visual and the highlight is SUPER helpful!
Appreciate you putting the time in to add the prio list. Cherry on top of the guide!
I love the constant updated guides. Good work!
This is hands down the most useful thing ever thank you so much for your time and effort 🎉 18:45

Bro thank you for this guide really appreciate the work you do on making these videos
Thanks for the detailed guide. Ironed out few rotation issues I am having !
Decent guide ! Thanks alot the green marking of the spell is usefull.
Love this. The prio highlights was very smart
Great Video! I just want to make sure I got this, I want to barrage basically every Burden of Power with or without NP. In best case scenario we ill be able to spell queue barrage with a NP stack AND Burden or Power to get back into either blasting or consuming clear casting then back into blasting.
Incredibly helpful. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much Phospho, your guides are amazing as always
Once again, love the videos. Thank you for keeping my dps meter healthy 😆
Highly highly appreciated man!! That helps a LOT!! Thank you for all your good and hard Work!! Keep it Up, you deserve more subs :D
I Just started playing arcane mage or mage in general, cause of your Videos! And i thrikin Love it! My DMG is insane, and i learn new things of every single Video! So thank you for that :D
Sorry for my english, i come from Germany!
Take Care
Thank you so much for the kind words it means alot! Happy to hear you're inspired and the videos help!
Thanks for the guide. I like the Priority list next to it, maybe leave the upper right part open, so we can still track your buffs. Trying to understand the weak aura instantly, when you are used to your own might be slower than just looking at the buffs. Anyways, great job!
Already waited for the updated one - thanks!
Found it very helpful to follow the notepad while you were doing your rotation. One question -
Just trying to compare notes with wowhead for ST rotation barrage condition (yours being "You have any amount of NP.. and have burden of power"
Compared to wowhead: "You are not casting Arcane Blast, have 2 Nether Precision stacks and any of Burden of Power, Glorious Incandescence or Intuition (tier)"
This was a very clear explanation, thanks!
Criminally underrated mage content creator, how the fuck dont you have more subs?!?
Perfect timing for me just coming back into the game since WOTLK 😅 great guide!
Thank you >>> dps from 46k to 171k (while leveling up) with this video and 10 minutes practice on a training dummy so happy☺ ☺
Took me a while to actually figure this out by watching you it’s complicated but understandable… use big GCDs on CD (fit in sequence tho) barrage when bar is full or when surge just dissipates I see little buff you spam on. I need to get the bar and probably the buff tracking weak aura. I was casting everything in wrong sequence in opener 😂 Thank you 🙏
Best guide I've ever seen
Thank you so much for this, such a detailed guide. If I may have a few notes:
1) Some points in the priority list can be a bit confusing. For example at 2/c. I thought "have any amount" means anything from 0 to 2. I would suggest writing ">=1" or "at least one" for clarification. (At 26:27 it would be an Arcane Barrage instead of Missiles if 0 charges would be enough for it.)
2) At 25:15 you cast according to point 5, but point 4 would be the priority. Does point 4 only apply if you have 2 or more Arcane Charges? (In the video you have 1 AC, 2 NP and 2 Clearcasting)
3) According to the prio list at 26:05 you should have casted Barrage instead of Blast (2/b). I guess spellqueuing with Glorious Incandescence is better, so Burden of Power shouldn't be under that point.
The guide is great - especailly with the parts where you show what you're casting and highlighting it (have to watch it a few times though). Can you share the addons/weakauras you're using and how they're tracking the different buffs? I think that's the next step that needs to be covered after the basics.
Thank you for the support!
Here are my most important Weakaura trackers:
Nether Precision Tracker: wago.io/-ApNbKpq1
Clearcasting + Aether Attunement Tracker: wago.io/c8zvYCldS
Spellfire Spheres + Burden of Power Tracker: wago.io/zdM6nWaf6
In the description of this video I have a list of the addons I use. Slightly out of date but if there's anything you need specifically just let me know: ruclips.net/video/h5zlMEOi-Ik/видео.html
Thank you I'm a new arcane mage this helped a lot
