I am still working on improving the quality of my videos and apologize for the weird framerate problems in this one. Trying out a new editor software and it's a work in progress. :)
This looks exactly like the changes I've wanted for arcane. I've always loved the aesthetic but not the gameplay. Can't wait to dive in and give this a try.
Always have a 4 arcane charge barrage set up for touch of the magi. You barrage and as it’s flying you press touch because it gives you 4 charges back and the barrage will still hit into the touch of the magi. Glad to see you enjoying arcane! I love arcane mage so much especially since it’s going to be more accessible! Keep up the great content!
I will mourn the passing of my beloved big-brain arcane mage, as it was simply so satisfying when you mastered it, but I am thoroughly looking forward to testing out this rework soon. Looks incredibly fun.
Played arcane mage for most of WoW before BFA, and was my first max level toon. Once I got into beta, I tried it out and loved it, was playing the sunfury build mostly and that one felt great too. Definitely planning to main it for next season.
You dont even wanna press missiles most of the time on live and rather press blast. So now having the proc based gameplay and it actually doing dmg is great
You press missiles all the time on live, you may not let it full cast unless your low on mana. It procs your nether precision. Not to mention the tier set (you always full cast buffed missiles). Missiles just becoming a source of actual damage now instead of a way to beef up your blast.
Evocation gives 1 charge, the real benefit of the second evocation talent is the int buff it gives. Also because arcane barrage has a travel time & touch of the magi applies instantly & gives 4 arcane charges the CD rotation is: get to 3 charges beforehand > evocation > arcane surge > arcane barrage > touch of the magi > blast/missile spam. That lets you essentially get an extra juiced up arcane barrage cast into your touch of the magi window without actually spending any time during touch of the magi building arcane charges. Granted that really only works at range so that arcane barrage doesn't hit before its gcd has passed and youve pressed touch, but since this build seems to mostly ignore arcane explosion thats not really an issue.
Oh man after the most recent rework on the talent tree you can get all the fun talent nodes. Wish you could pick up that AM damage but getting Siphon, Orb Barrage, Harmony+Bombardment, and to cap it off with this new Magi's Spark ability that just got gigga buffed.... It's about to be on and poppin. Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed
You're getting so many cc procs because of spellslinger talents. Splinterstorm has a chance to give you a CC. Also the change to damage abilities proccing CC instead of mana spent, so barrage and cc missiles can proc it now as well.
I usually only play melee and main a rogue. I've been messing with all the ranged on live to find a ranged alt for TWW. Narrowed it down to warlock, mage or shadow priest. This makes me wanna try arcane on live lmao.
I think? that on aoe you'd replace missiles procs for explosion as it still uses clearcasting/triggers the spellslinger effects, although with the changes to touch of the magi that might have completely shifted, time will tell when the theorycrafters get into it fully on release! do you find it difficult to not ninja pull with arcane orbs/orb procs? I've been struggling a bit with that haha
I wish we had MORE arcane missles. I really dont like arcane barrage and arcane blast and the mechanics with arcane power. I just want to arcane missle the world.
I had to do it manually... Download it and manually put it into your WoW/Beta/Interface/Add-ons folder. Delete and Curseforge version. It should work then. You'll also have to use a console command to stop Lua errors. /Console scriptErrors 0 That should work
I feel like you should still be spending arcane charges on barrage in between missles and orb casts. Your wasting a lot of dmg by being constantly overcapped on charges
When you press Surge, you gain +35% spell damage for the next 15 seconds... Meaning everything else you do inside your Magi window after Surge will be buffed by 35%. It also has a cast time vs Maji, which doesn't, so doing it in this order feels a lot better.
You do this on live too, I think the idea is to get the most out of the amplification of Arcane Blast, since Blast is like 90% of your damage. I definitely get why you would think it'd be good to have Arcane Surge echo but I think the Mage experts have worked out that Surge > Magi > Blasting is just more DPS overall.
ivocation gives 1 charge. you wanna build to 4 first if you have the increase dmg for surge. and ye video is rly blurry but you said you are working on that :)
Nevermind lol, commented that at the begining when you was hitting dummies, then heard you explain it during dungeon gameplay. Sick....Looks like I am maining Arcane Mage in TWW since Boomy seems like the same ole same ole. Arcane Mage Main, Resto Shaman Alt. Unless Elemental Shaman gets fun then I will main Resto/Alt Ele.
Love your vids but please for the love of god go to a dummy area without a thousand other players muddying all the visuals up. It makes ZERO sense since you've done that before in previous videos. We can't see a thing
Interesting how both your build and your gameplay are kinda wrong, yet you still pump numbers. We’re about to have an xpac full of clueless arcanes running around, ideally also calling themselves “mains”.
I know youre having a sore throat, but try to clear it off mic or turn your head away. You were blowing my ears with each cough and clear. Just constructive advise and no disrespect meant.

Same ! Time to add Arcane to my Fire and Frost tools :D,

I enjoyed playing arcane during S3 of DF im really looking forward to maining it this expansion.
I am watching every scrap of information about arcane I can find in hope it will be playable for me.

Mage truly is the main character of wow.
@jygb7092how tf r u so dumb to not understand his sentence hahahahah

tried it out and you are right man, its hella fun
That's what I want!
Since WoD, they have been adding so much stuff in arcane, make it weard to play.
That's arcane, simple, clean, fun!
Evocation gives 1 charge, the real benefit of the second evocation talent is the int buff it gives. Also because arcane barrage has a travel time & touch of the magi applies instantly & gives 4 arcane charges the CD rotation is:

That sounds good!

I personally will never play mage but they look cool for TWW. I wish all mage players a pleasant weekend
You're getting so many cc procs because of spellslinger talents. Splinterstorm has a chance to give you a CC. Also the change to damage abilities proccing CC instead of mana spent, so barrage and cc missiles can proc it now as well.
I agree frost mage is totally chill 🙃
This looks insane for M+.

Loving the vids, moreso when it's a spec I play :D How did you get Details to work? Mine is borked.

/Console scriptErrors 0
That should work
Spellslinger is gonna be so fun 😊
I feel like you should still be spending arcane charges on barrage in between missles and orb casts. Your wasting a lot of dmg by being constantly overcapped on charges
I feel like some specs are getting more love than others
ofc devs are gonna cater to whatever they main 😂
With Fire being meta, what mage spec feels the best?
Why arcane surge then touch of magi. Wouldn't you want to magi then touch for the 20% echo?
When you press Surge, you gain +35% spell damage for the next 15 seconds... Meaning everything else you do inside your Magi window after Surge will be buffed by 35%. It also has a cast time vs Maji, which doesn't, so doing it in this order feels a lot better.

Arcane orb + POM x2 arcane blast for 4 charges then surge then magi? At least that's how I used to do it haven't played mage since S1
This looks like so much fun
It looks like sooo much fun
Look if i'm gonna get more missiles then i'm gonna play this class, that simple
ivocation gives 1 charge. you wanna build to 4 first if you have the increase dmg for surge. and ye video is rly blurry but you said you are working on that :)
Yep you're 100% right. I think the icon on my buff bar made me think I was getting 4 Arcane Charges.
Poor ele sham, I was thinking about maining it....but well....
Hold on, changes might be coming... Copium. :)
Wait is arcane missles hitting multiple targets now? How does this happen?
Nevermind lol, commented that at the begining when you was hitting dummies, then heard you explain it during dungeon gameplay. Sick....Looks like I am maining Arcane Mage in TWW since Boomy seems like the same ole same ole. Arcane Mage Main, Resto Shaman Alt. Unless Elemental Shaman gets fun then I will main Resto/Alt Ele.
The warri got 20 gs more ?? Thats a lot. So I think if you got also 600+ gs you Beat him… cant decide.. mage or wl 😢
Well it looks cool
I want to play arcane since draenor maybe today is the day I'm switching mage
Your mage video did a great job of making Ele Sham look really underwhelming lol
Right?!
I know it's sad... Fingers crossed for some buffs soon!
mage has to be blizzard favorite's son and shaman must be the black sheep like dude
Evoker, Warlock, Priest, etc... Blizzard does love cloth wearer that's for sure
And now they’ve already destroyed it
Love your vids but please for the love of god go to a dummy area without a thousand other players muddying all the visuals up. It makes ZERO sense since you've done that before in previous videos. We can't see a thing
@@JohnnyFiction There are no areas with lots of actual target dummies that aren't full of players lol. It's the beta.
How is this more fun than 2 shotting people with arcane blast in cata

Appreciate it :)
45 sec ? Id rather play Fire and have OMEGA combust with Sunfury EVERY time , every minute
