When to use Font of Power - Arcane mage

It sims higher than balefire, but the cooldown doesn’t line up. Should i use it 20 seconds before pull?

Truthfully, I wouldn’t. That’s a lot of downtime with no damage output. Plus, in that scenario, it will only line up one more time, and then never again for the remainder of the fight.

I use Font on 6sec, so it looks like: Font>Prepot>precast>buttons as usual. Prepot>Font might even be superior and allot you more damage overall as well.

In terms of a second usage during the fight, if you are using condensed, I would hold 2nd font till 3min, about 4-5 sec before condensed cd is up. I have yet to test Font on cd (and perhaps there’s an argument for that), or holding ArcP/RoP by ~20/30 sec for Font either. In my mind, holding ArcP/RoP for Font screams dps loss. Therefore, I hold Font for a minute till condensed is almost available, and channel 4-5 sec prior.

The theory crafters could shed more light probably, but this is what the sims I run in my mind tell me sounds good!

Hold trinkets for AP, don’t hold AP for trinkets.
