It's the highest Skill Floor and Skill Ceiling out of every spec in the entire game. As fun as it is, It still feels bad losing to a class like a Warrior or DH who have a 2 button rotation and can play those classes while watching The Last of Us.
Hansol i watch you since MoP and i remember when you represent fire mages on Legends of the Arena also the duels against every class it’s always good to see you play i hope you keep up the good work because there is so many people like me who love to watch/learn from your content ❤️
I've always felt this was the problem with mage: while great players can make it work and even make it good, for the average player, it's much easier to be good at some zug zug class than a mage.
To get even a basic return on mage, you have to work so hard. Every other spec just pushes their main 3 buttons without positioning for the same return. This is def a melee xpac
A very informative video as usual! So used to wanting to basically spam poly as well. Learned a lot about how to do more consistent damage outside of cds.
Thanks for sharing! burst my confidence to continue with arcane - In future videos, can you go through addons/UI setup as arcane mage for this season? interested to see those WA too - I struggle with my focus in arenas where there are a million things to watch
There's so many great tier lists out there already. I'd recommend you check out either Skillcapped WOW youtube channel and/or Supatease on youtube. Both great, reliable and accurate tier lists!
Ya it's not a super easy spec to ease into. Def will take time to develop comfort and confidence on it. I still struggle with playing consistently on it
Great video, can you please tell how you set up weak aura ( I assume it is weak aura ) to show icon of the spells when cooldown end ? Couple times your arcane surge was showing icon on the middle when it was back after cc, cheers in advance dude
The problem with the mage class is that you need to know nearly everything about the game to be effective. As you no longer have any time to make decisions while getting hard-focused. As a player trying to learn, it's pretty infuriating.
Having game knowledge will help you no matter what class you play, but yeah the skill floor of mage is prob not equivalent to one of DH for example :) Also, weakauras are OP
@@hansolzy Maybe that's really complicated, but would you know how to create a weakaura that makes a noise when the enemy you have on focus casts/channels a heal? My biggest issue is that I cannot track my focus cast bar while I'm getting focused. :|
@@elomellow1623 Hmm I only know how to create the most basic weakauras unfortunately haha. Best thing I could recommend is increasing castbar sizes with these scripts as that has helped me a lot with my awareness. I used to not see focus bar casts well enough either /run FocusFrameSpellBar:SetScale(1.40); /run TargetFrameSpellBar:SetScale(1.40);
I dont refuse to believe that Arcane mage can be succesful. Still, as Arcane Mage main since basically Vanilla. I just find the gameplay too frustrating and unfun. The CC and interrupts have become too excessive. I can fake casts succesfully, but I do absolutely despise this design. It just feels you have to work so much harder than other classes especially melee. They can't be interrupted. But everything I want to cast does get interrupted. It's just not fun and only frustrating at this point.
B4DAHVkVsxxZrVqBmAzlSR2f7LJSEKJJJSShAFJiIikIIBJhIAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSikIJJA Also who's not running radiant? Last time I checked, the mage above 3k atm is Raiku and he's playing radiant
@@hansolzy Okay, good to know, thank you... I love Klepto for moments I want to burst someone with full hots while druid gets stunned, but guess in shuffle, without coordination, spam might be better. Will try it! :) Thank you
@@Heavoc Ya it's great in super low rated lobbies just trying to win in the opener but it's not gonna be very effective vs more experienced players. It looks fun but there's definitely gonna be a rating cap to that build. Especially now with siphon storm nerf :)
so im climbing a bit using this, but i get rekt when they decide to sit on me with a rogue. do i go blink vs rogues? i feel shimmer lost me that game maybe.
I recommend Aeghis's arcane mage guide. Very entry level and covers tons of fundamental ground. It's 2.5 hours long as well so it's jam packed with info
I mean grats to you and all Hansol... but watching this gameplay makes me want to just stop playing the game... Too much stuff flying around, its absolutely aweful to play and to watch even.
The algorithm had done me right, Hansol is alive! Keep blazing it, brother! Following and adapting your playstyle back in mop has given me so much joy and fun in WoW it’s unreal ❤️ 100k 100k 100k 100k 🪦

sounds like the definition of unbalanced
It's cool to see you branching out from fire. You're a great mage player, and arcane's the most fun and rewarding to play right now.
Thanks man! Yes, arcane is def the highest skill ceiling spec of the 3. Glad you agree =)
Hansol i watch you since MoP and i remember when you represent fire mages on Legends of the Arena also the duels against every class it’s always good to see you play i hope you keep up the good work because there is so many people like me who love to watch/learn from your content ❤️
Awesome guide! Lots of super important tips in here. Appreciate you taking the time to make such a complete video
I've always felt this was the problem with mage: while great players can make it work and even make it good, for the average player, it's much easier to be good at some zug zug class than a mage.
Yea. It's def a high skill floor / ceiling class compared to something like DH ofc 🙃
To get even a basic return on mage, you have to work so hard.
Every other spec just pushes their main 3 buttons without positioning for the same return.
This is def a melee xpac
most of the tips are known, the execution tho is on another level... you're insane. GJ keep em coming
0:28 - 0:35 Chills.. just chills. It felt so good that it made me squirm and giggle. So weird!
A very informative video as usual! So used to wanting to basically spam poly as well. Learned a lot about how to do more consistent damage outside of cds.
your vids are very helpful! u rock its weird not seeing u play fire xD
Very solid guide thx! Is arcane can play 2x2 with rouge or fire as always is better?
Thanks for sharing! burst my confidence to continue with arcane - In future videos, can you go through addons/UI setup as arcane mage for this season? interested to see those WA too - I struggle with my focus in arenas where there are a million things to watch
I have UI videos I've made in the past that are still relevant to my current UI. As for weakauras, here's the import link

@@hansolzy thanks for sharing!
First one! can we get a tier list or what you rec for new pvpers that play ranged classes?
Nope, second :D
There's so many great tier lists out there already. I'd recommend you check out either Skillcapped WOW youtube channel and/or Supatease on youtube. Both great, reliable and accurate tier lists!
@@hansolzy Thanks man! community missed you
I was always wondering how to utilize Radiant Spark, thank you for the tips! Now I can finally be hardstuck 1800 instead of 2100
about to tank rating after watching my guide eh? lol :P
Finally trying arcane in solo shuffle... not doing very well but with enough practice I'll get there hopefully.
Ya it's not a super easy spec to ease into. Def will take time to develop comfort and confidence on it. I still struggle with playing consistently on it
Keep up the good work my man
Btw can you share your talents?
B4DAHVkVsxxZrVqBmAzlSR2f7LJSEKJJJSShAFJiIikIIBJhIAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSikIJJA
Hey Hansol what's the name of the weakaura that says what you spell stole and when the enemy has nullifying shroud up and all that? ty ily
Like in yellow writing it says "stole rejuvenation"
Hansol i follow u since mop and im really happy That u still playing that good ! As always ! grats from russia
Great video, can you please tell how you set up weak aura ( I assume it is weak aura ) to show icon of the spells when cooldown end ? Couple times your arcane surge was showing icon on the middle when it was back after cc, cheers in advance dude
The legend is back
I miss to see hansol play fire mage 😢. Hansol comeback ?

wago.io/zORbyl83P
o/ Hans, what's you're add on for nameplates and debuff on it please
Glad to see you too in wow again
dude how did you get polymorph rabbit? is it still a easter event?
great video btw!
yep i think i got it during easter event in mop like 10 years ago lol. pretty sure it’s still obtainable from that event
Hi thanks for the great video. Is there a way to find the weakauras you are using ?
wago.io/zORbyl83P
Brooo Arcane is INSANE !
Hansol! Return to panda, enoght gaming cazual wow
Where can I get the weak auras that are showing your mage buffs like stacks of clear casting, precision, etc etc

Precog is your best friend ;) Pretty much gives you immunity to everything but damage for 4 seconds. Super strong and rewarding juke playstyle
Love ur vids! If u play whit a trufigcd, It will be even more interesting! 🙏🏻
Hi what’s adding are you using for old Blizzard namebar UI
EasyFrames for the portrait frames if that's what you're asking for
what is the addon that shows the spells in the middle of the screen that come off cd?
doom_cooldownpulse
what talent setup are you rocking with this build? I coped the 3k rated 3's mage but he doesnt seem to run radiant at all so im curious what ur rockin
B4DAHVkVsxxZrVqBmAzlSR2f7LJSEKJJJSShAFJiIikIIBJhIAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSikIJJA
Also who's not running radiant? Last time I checked, the mage above 3k atm is Raiku and he's playing radiant
@@hansolzy I think his name is Jungleape if I remember correctly.
Isnt Klepto go to pick agains evoker/Rdrood all the time? Saw that some arenas you havent speced for it....
Only when I'm playing setup based comps yeah. Otherwise I prefer spamming spellsteal
@@hansolzy Okay, good to know, thank you... I love Klepto for moments I want to burst someone with full hots while druid gets stunned, but guess in shuffle, without coordination, spam might be better. Will try it! :) Thank you
Hansol paid me to comment
you forgot to mention the intellect buff you get from the green juice ):
Nice! What is the addon that shows ur cooldowns are ready in middle of screen?
Doom_cooldownpulse
@@hansolzy thx i was playing mitch crit build its fun but not very good for solo shuffle. Gonna look into your style!
@@Heavoc Ya it's great in super low rated lobbies just trying to win in the opener but it's not gonna be very effective vs more experienced players. It looks fun but there's definitely gonna be a rating cap to that build. Especially now with siphon storm nerf :)
so im climbing a bit using this, but i get rekt when they decide to sit on me with a rogue. do i go blink vs rogues? i feel shimmer lost me that game maybe.
bro Hansol whats your addons in dragon flight. all these ur using in this video
I would like to see a guide for mage for player that never played it. I would like to play mage but the skillcap and entry level is soooo high.
I recommend Aeghis's arcane mage guide. Very entry level and covers tons of fundamental ground. It's 2.5 hours long as well so it's jam packed with info
Arcane the way to go? Or does frost match it now?
Yea Arcane is like A tier. Frost is B and fire C I'd say.
@@hansolzy oh wow. Thanks. For some reason frost just feels better. Not sure what it is. Maybe I’m relying on arcane boast too much
Is the 4p tier set worth it even though non ideal stats?
I think 4 pc for arcane is good yeah. Try to prio the pieces that give versa / haste tho. I believe helm gives haste versa too.
What is the player and target frame addon called?
easyframes
youre so amazing papa :)
PLS MORE HANSOL :)
LEGENDARY

can you please share our talents string for arcane mage?

Soo i waited 20 mins(i was lucky) for solo shuffle then someone left or dced on 2. Round i laughed and altf4ed end of my story
Solo Q in a nutshell xd
as a mage main for 15+ years. It's honestly about time Spriests got to be OP for a while. They've sucked for so long LOL
well they’re nerfed today now haha
@@hansolzy well shit that was short lived LOL
Hansol betrayed the fire?
Fire is terrible and boring unfortunately. Been getting bored of fire in recent years so I'm glad I can finally play arcane!
@@hansolzy I LOVE BROOO U ARE THE REASSON BECAUSE I PLAY MAGE
@@hansolzy Yeah, fire hasn't really been a fun spec since... wod honestly. It's been getting progressively more boring since Legion

I mean grats to you and all Hansol... but watching this gameplay makes me want to just stop playing the game... Too much stuff flying around, its absolutely aweful to play and to watch even.
Fair enough man. Go play what you enjoy! That's always my philosophy. When I didn't enjoy WoW, I simply stopped playing it
