Gotta keep those pesky fire mages in line. Can’t have them killing people in a combust window.

Don’t worry arms warrior nerfed for the 5th time being the worst spec in the game.
Frost and arcane mage buffed, but keep crying mage abusers.

I cant tell if youre joking or not.

Arcane is really horrific. They buffed the splinters which do nothing.

Its a horrible spec. I have 4 80s and arcane is by far and large the worst between dh, lock, hunter and the mage. Its not even close either.

No more fire was prob the most sleeper OP spec in the game. Def needed 3% nerf.

Idk on a serious note mine are randomly hitting a million and i have no idea why.

Bout to hit 2100 as arcane and im going 4-2 5-1 every lobby im at 2300mmr too. Just gonna spam it till im 2.4 kekw

What is your setup for this burst. I have looked at guides for arcane but like i seem to struggle getting out damage.

Evo for some clearcast missiles then surge > magi > missile dump to get defib cranked up then pom ab x2 and barrage orb the crap out of them

if ppl dont press anything I can easily 100-0 you in 2-3 seconds

Idk what im doing wrong. Ill need to play around with using evo first. So you’re almost never trying a hardcast AB, yeah??

Ya not rly. sometimes if i got zero procs and no orbs and everyones on cc dr or smthing and nothing else to press

Okay ill give this a try…im at noob 1600 mmr so hopefully it works out :smiley:

If its any help. Spec doesn’t really matter at that MMR. You can win off doing general mage things.

Alter go’s
Good icewalls
Getting CC’s
Good CS’s
Peeling the best you can when its not you and you know its trouble (IE someone is stunned and your healing is CC, poly them off or blastwave etc)

Fundamentals can get you a lot of mileage.

that 3% nerf ensures my health will go from 97% to 100% phew got little low there.

Your splinters were hitting for a million or your splinterstorm?

I got a 2.2m barrage tonight with a 40 stack of debilitation and the new buff, plus my 4 set I think.

Hard to replicate but randomly cranking someone’s face in is fun.

I have really been trying…some games do feel unwinnable like anything feral/hunter/x is borderline impossible. I was ccing my head off in one of those lobbies but i was taking game ending damage all day from the hunter and could never get the feral off me. I am not sure what to do there or just accept sometimes itll be a miss.
