Im very happy with arcane performance at the moment, not looking forward to raiding as arcane in ToT though...and i hate frost spec.

In my opinion arcane is little bit more movement restricted for raids . might be just me

Main reason im not looking forward to raiding ToT, because i like arcane, cant play fire, hate frost, but arcane will underperform in ToT

That is what I don't understand. Why the Arcane performance is so low on raids in this server! Is not something missing or wrong in this spec? Is so good to play with as Arcane but, it works only at Dungeons or at the training dummy. Is possible that we got some fix with the opening of ToT? Because I will not set a foot there with Frost, not even my guild friends, it will not be fun.

Hi there,

As odes said arcane might suffer in ToT i've tried to play arcane yet the damage is low compared to Frost

[pixcals]

its not that arcane does low damage its a mastery based spec so get masttery gear and also mana management and cooldowm management should be good to get the most out of arcane.

Arcane damage is not low , for example odes is pulling more than frost mages with arcane when it comes down to single target fights probably

Aoe too ^^, but i still played frost on certain bosses like stoneguards, will of the emperor, tsulong, lei shi. Arcane dmg is certainly not low, just gets gimped if you have to move too much.

That's the main problem with arcane if you move too much your DPS drops drastically

Look, I got a total ilvl 508 (got it from valor points, the quests from Oondasta and dungeon finder, and three intens buy with honor points), and I being removed from raid groups just before get teleported, and come some one and say me: "you must to change in to frost". I'm not telling they are wrong in do that, because my "DPS" is only 80k in a raid. So what should I do? I mean... change my entire gear to frost and do all the work that I expand weeks again or, keep making dungeons an scenario, because this is the only place there I really make a good "DPS". (Yes, I know how to play Arcane, I never see this problem in others places. I see that the administration of the server is doing a grate job in most part of the game, I admit).But I must insist, arcane are disadvantage compared with frost. The movement is limited, yes, but a frost mage with 497 of ilvl, make more than 100k in a single target battle, and I cant get not even 90k, make me embarrassed.

Hi ,

Arcane Mages I have seen so far do suffer to pull decent dps compared to frost , have you tried playing frost spec ? It should increase your DPS & i cant see your character on forum to check if you have reforged something wrong it would be great if you can tell your character name .
If you need help in figuring out playing frost mage just add me in-game Lethalfactor and I will explain frost spec to you as much as possible.

In the mean time check out this Frost mage guide https://forum.wow-freakz.com/EN-Frost-Mage-PvE-Guide-5.4.8-MoP-t398289.html

Regards
Lethal

Done, you all can see my character, is the only lvl 90 I got. Sorry if I causede to many issues, but I just want help. And finaly (I guess), learn how to play with frost is the only solution that you can tell me? I'm fealing very disappointed. I realy sorry Sir Lethalfactor, but it is like "learn to digest stones instead cultivate an apple tree", this is not for me only, is for every player that comes here with the desire to play a Arcane Mage.

Very grateful for the attention.

Hey you didn't cause any issues mate , what i can say is you can give frost spec a try its more interesting & fun to play in my opinion than arcane. Feel free to contact me in game any time you see me online dont be shy
