Buff Supernova and Arcane Empowerment; I have half the setup capacity of Frost and 1/3rd the setup capacity of Fire along with having to get in to melee range to do competitive damage with 3x Explosive Echo traits. Let's not forget Polymorph is on my damage school.
Buff me and you can face a Mage spec that can't sling Greater Pyroblast in your face.
Wait so you compare arcane to your other 2 OP specs?
We should be bringing fire and frost to arcanes level not the other way around.

Try playing Arcane first. Right now you have to run with a Rogue or else just don't bother.

I think specs viability doesnt have much to do with who will LFG with u on it tho.
He was doing more than 9k dps some games and felt pretty strong tbh.

I don't mind a 10% nerf to Arcane Blast to compensate for buffs in other areas.

If your Mage is spamming Missiles outside of Clearcasting or the opponent pillaring him he's playing wrong, I'm sorry but that's the truth, Arcane Blast does nearly the same damage per cast as Arcane Missiles in nearly half the time it takes to finish a singular channel of a non-Clearcasting Missiles for less mana per cast. The only time you would consider hardcasting Missiles is if you have 3 Pummeling traits and no good Galvanizing Spark pieces. You're also more susceptible to getting kicked if you spam Missiles.

Oh right, so someone’s who’s been stuck at 1600 for a few expansions now doesn’t currently think arcane is viable is telling someone playing arcane at 2.7 they’re doing it wrong
Ha ha failedwizard now I understand your name

You can't spew crap then hide behind a 2.7k rating, it takes one round of testing on a target dummy to realise that Arcane Blast is higher damage per second than Arcane Missiles, or is the consensus of every Arcane Mage theorycrafter all of a sudden wrong because of one guy who chooses to nerf himself by 2k DPS by pressing an inferior damage button?

Ok i really dont know mage but isnt it easier to fake with missiles casts than an arcane blast because you actually get dmg from juking halfway into missiles?
It can finish a cast even when they run out of LoS so casting on targets trying to pillar is less of an issue.
There are two different forms of Missile traits rn afaik.
It has extremely high sustained atm due to the way it is mechanically and missile dmg traits

Missiles is 15% of our max mana so it's still a risk if you go several casts without a Clearcasting proc occurring.
Pummeling is stronger than Impact right now.
2 Missiles out of 5 isn't a lot of damage per channel, you could get similar damage per second by using Arcane Explosion which is 10% max mana as well as a source of Arcane Charges and is mobile.

Sick look forward to seeing u do 9k+ sustained dps with arcane blast casting.
Is this before or after the buff arcane needs ?
