Does Arcane Blast require a purpose?

I am leveling up an arcane mage and I don’t ever use arcane blast. I just spam arcane missle and it does way more damage. I use arcane barrage when I hit 4 stacks from Arcane orb. Does it become more significant later on?

Leveling only requires two buttons: a single target and an aoe target spell. Just spam them nonstop in dungeon groups.

At endgame arcane blast helps build arcane charges among other things.

If you keep yourself at full arcane charges, arcane blast is a great spell. It becomes pretty important on single Target end game content.

Four charge arcane blasts should 1-2 shot things leveling up.

Arcane blast increases its damage per charge you have.

leveling experience does not represent actual gameplay

Checking the top Arcane Mages damage breakdown right now on ST raid fights, it’s doing about 45-50% of their damage.
At end game you wont be casting it as often, just when Clearcasting procs.
