Hi. my name is Rico, and i’m here to show the World of Warcraft Community my Idea for a pet for the mage spec Arcane.
Before i begin the thing that sparked this idea were the floating Tomes of War in Maldraxxus, the floating scrolls in Ardenweald, and the Nightborne’s Passive Cantrips.
The pet would consist of a Floating Tome or Scroll with two primary abilities [Arcane Bolt]
[Temporal Dissonance] The bolt being straight forward like Water Bolt, but there’s a special twist when the Tome casts bolt three times. on the third cast of Arcane Bolt your third one is empowered randomly choosing from any school of magic in Azeroth. With the proper visuals of course : )
Holy =Bolt of Holy light bursts disorienting target for 2 seconds damage will remove effect
Shadow = Target has Ten Seconds of 5% (3% in pvp) increased damage taken
Nature = A bolt of lightning falls from the sky stunning enemies for two seconds doing aoe damage
Frost = A splintering shard of ice slowing, and doing heavy damage
Fire = A burst of flame applying a dot damaging other enemies around it
Arcane = deals Arcane Damage, and increases the damage of your next Arcane spell by 10% (5% in pvp)
The Temporal Dissonance spell would somewhat behave like a Nightborne’s [Arcane Pulse] except instead of a movement reduction it’s a flat damage reduction while people are inside the area for three seconds at a decent 15%.
With this brand new pet for the spec would also give lift to Two talents that would replace the awful ones that are currently in the tree. One would be [Table Of Contents] Allowing your Tome of War on a minute long cooldown outside of Battlegrounds/arenas of course to let the mage choose from several useful buffs for the party.
Old removed favorites such as Blessing of Kings, but at a lower % increase like 3%. Along with a 3% version of Battle Shout, And Power Word: Fortitude. Inscription has these as “war scrolls” but not everybody is a scribe, and i’d provide a lot of utility for mages and their current role in the Raiding/mythic plus scenes.
This talent would remove the ability to use [Temporal Dissonance]
The other talent is pretty straight forward being [Arcane Research] Removing the worry of a random empowered bolt, but instead giving you the power to have your Tome of War mirror [Arcane Missiles] it wouldn’t give you extra arcane charges, but during clear casting standing on [Rune of Power] would be pretty cool.
This was my idea/concept on the [Tome of War] minion for Arcane spec.
