-Arcane orb baseline.
-Supernova damage increased by 320%
-Blast damage increased by 15%
-Missile proc chance increased by 3%
-Evanesce is baseline alongside ice block
-Nether tempest damage increased by 400%
-Make resonance baseline
This is directed at pvp also. But I have been basically stuck into taking the same cookie cutter talents for almost 3 xpacs. Having to choose between things such as Resonance vs nether tempest is a LITERAL no brainer. Same with Orb vs Supernova. They arent even REMOTELY competitive.

Mostly realistic requests, but none of the above are even the main problem currently. The real issue is arcane needs to not be locked into ONE covenant that makes it barely competitive with the usual crew of “haves” for dps in SL.
On paper Venth is decent but NL/NF are so far behind it’s like you didn’t choose a covenant at all. I can understand a difference of maybe 5% or so between the covenants which you could chalk up to “oh this one’s really fun but does a bit less dps”, but theorycrafters are suggesting something like a 20-25% difference between Kyrian and NF for 9.2. This is beyond absurd, even for the current crop of lazy Blizz developers. Even if they implemented ALL your changes, it wouldn’t fix the gap, just widen it.

These arent solely for Shadowlands. They are for the spec in general. I could care less about whats gonna happen with the covenants since they are gonna be gone in under a year anyways. What I care about is having a playable spec and not being reliant on a covenant to make that happen. Thats what i hate about this borrowed power crap.

Then unfortunately mage is not the class and arcane not the spec for you. We’ve been reliant on borrowed crap for 3 expansions now and it’s getting worse.
This is far from being a Mage-only problem.
No but it is far more pronounced for mage than any other class.

Good suggestions, I would love to see orb baseline along with some out of combat mana regen.
Imo Orb and out of combat mana regen are definitely a must. Loosening AoE restrictions should also go a long way like Touch of the Magi.
What I would really, really like to be implemented in 10.0 is both Arcane Harmony and Arcane Echo as talent options. I really enjoy the Kyrian Arcane gameplay, especially in M+ and would like to keep it moving forward, but only as an option for those that dislike it.

perfect options for replacing orb and nether tempest if we were to get both of those baseline.
