For those using Arcane Bombardment, which potency conduit do you use in conjunction with Magi’s Brand, Artifice of the Archmage or Discipline of the Grove (assuming you are Night Fae)?
I am having a hard time picking. DotG seems to be better for single target with AotA pulling ahead on AoE and cleave but AotA also isn’t too far behind on ST with how often you drop stacks during execute once the target hits 35%.
It probably doesn’t matter too much either way but I was curious. Thanks!
Discipline of the grove. It is reliable and we have so many CDs. Also works great with our aoe roation
I’m using korayn soulbind and use discipline of the grove at the moment, I’ll probably use arcane prodigy next week when we unlock the second potency conduit or the magi one in combination with DotG. Korayn seems to be doing really well with the 10% increase damage above 75% health, great burst on bosses with pride and lust for ST and also good burst on packs and then obviously the execute below 35% so it kinda works nicely together.
Wait, is that how Wild Hunt Tactics works?
The tooltip reads: “Your damage to targets above 75% health and healing to targets below 35% health is increased by 10%. When your spells and abilities are enhanced this way, you gain 15% increased movement speed for 5 seconds.”
The way I read it the buff to targets below 35% only applies to healing not damage. Is that not the case?
Tooltip hard to read. It’s only for healing below 35%.
If you’re Night Fae, just run Discipline. It’s good for everything.
Right? It’s so poorly written! I got so excited thinking it was gonna mesh so well with Bombardment the first time I read it. 
Discipline of the grove is probably best for night fae. I know some people are going dreamweaver for the early double potency so they can get Magi’s brand in there, too.
I’m just talking about the execute from bombardment legendary.
Are you guys saying you don’t get 10% damage increase above 75% ?
Or do you mean it reads like you get 10% damage increase below 35% health as well? The way I read it is you get 10% damage above 75% and if you’re a healer then targets below 35% are healed 10% more. But I still think korayn plays the best for arcane at least in mythic+, try it out. my sims are higher even without the second potency conduit activate yet I’ll have to check again but I thought it was still a dps increase.
I currently get 16s off my cooldowns with discipline of the grove. I don’t think there is anything remotely close to being as strong as knocking 16s off arcane power or cutting Rune/Magi cooldown by 1/3rd or literally refreshing the cooldown of arcane orb entirely. Magi’s Brand is the icing on the cake for second choice.
Magi>Rune>Barrage>Orb>Barrage>Shifting Power>Orb>Barrage
The AoE burst is massive and You’ve got like 20s left on Magi/Rune by the time you cast your first arcane explosion. Without Discipline, you would have to arcane explosion at least once before you cast orb again, which is just wasting charges.
hands down i go DOTG and Arcane prodigy, i want arcane power up as many times as i can during a fight
Haven’t tested it myself, but I recall hearing this conduit is bugged and isn’t providing the CDR on CC proc usage. Anyone else have any insight into this?
Works fine for me
Arcane Prodigy is definitely not worth it, imo. Even if it works the way the tooltip claims (and that’s a big if) it comes out to, what, 3 seconds cdr to AP per Clearcast? Compare that with DotG which is 16 seconds cdr on ALL your cooldowns every minute. Magi’s Brand is just too good for both AoE and ST to not take and the synergy with DotG is also very strong.
My Il 200 version knocks off 5 seconds im gotten my Arcane power to 1 minute 10-20 seconds ?
Yeah, but after testing it on raid night this past days, I’m running into a problem.
The CD reduction makes it so after I line up RoP+TotM my AP gets off CD so quickly that i end up waiting 20+ seconds for TotM to get off CD again, which feels bad 
Should I just save TotM for AP and just drop RoP 15 seconds before AP every time to fish for CC procs now?
I also have the 200 version and it says .49 seconds per wave of clearcast AMs. That’s just under 4 seconds not 5. But either way it’s very inconsistent because of the RNG associated with CC procs. You might get a ton of cdr or none at all. Magi’s Brand is much more reliable. At the end of the day though it comes down to personal choice more than anything else. Unlike other specs Arcane doesn’t really have one or two overpowered and thus mandatory conduits.
Disciple will give you the best return.
