Whete in the world do you use Arcane Torrent in PvE?

Community General Discussion
1

I hate to ask a dumb question but im clueless how this thing works in pve

2

You can dispell enrages, the bone shield off the guys in underrot, dispell the minions of zul. Those are the few I can think of rn. There’s probably more places.

3

Also the water shields in TD.

One of the best racials for 5 mans.

4

Do you do it while they are casting or after?

5

After. Arcane Torrent is a dispel, so you should only use it once they have a buff (which they get after the cast finishes).

6

Whenever there is a magic buff on a npc.

7

Does it work on Mekkatorques Hyperdrive?

8

No

9

If you are a caster Arcane Torrent also gives mana back.

I use it on CD during raids on my holy pally.

10

It does dispel the buff in the Conclave fight though.
Otherwise it has niche uses, but where you find that niche the difference it makes is substantial.

11

Works on any magic buff. You’ll be able to tell, as the ui will make the icon glow. Just press the ability and watch the magic buff go away.
Imagine how upset the mob must be after losing it’s shield! :disappointed_relieved:

12

It gives resources back to all classes. Non mana users get 15 of their resource back but this feels clunkier since they put it on the gcd

Huh? You can? This is news.

On topic: I rathered having it where it was an AOE Silence.

Pro tip: all buffs and debuffs in this game through the basic UI are color coded.

As a blood elf, enemy beneficial buffs that you can purge with blood elf racial will be outlined with a gold, shiny aura underneath enemy nameplates. Anything with that golden aura, you can dispel.

As added trivia, when healing, all debuffs on friendlies are also color coded.

Blue is magic.
Green is poison.
Brown is disease.
Purple is curse.
And red is physical.

Depending on the type of healer you are, these colors will mean wsomething to you.

When I need my teeny bit of my pink bar (stupid right now, forgot what it’s called).

16

I use it for the flat energy. The buff removal is just a bonus.

17

Only magic debuffs get purged by AT. Druids and hunters remain the only ones who can remove enrages
