Arcane in PVP

Classes Mage
1

Aracane mage in pvp is absolute rubbish, stats show its on very end of the ladder yet blizz ignore it since ages, i mean rly, why? why arcane mage last pvp changes had months ago whilst being so so weak in pvp ? why other classes constantly see improvements where arcane is left behind?

Arcane rework is joke, its not rework, changing couple skills for baseline + one new fairly weak talent make no difference,

Right now only worth playing spec in pvp is fire, used to be where arcane is now but blizz made it worth playing - why arcane cant be same…

Lol, havent seen not even single Youtuber saying about them, weird, anyway, arcane just had some small buff, nothing special but i guess we need to be happy with what we got…

i was streaming a bg and had spart100 come on my chat and say… “wish arcanosphere di more dmg”

even after the 25% buff, every bg, i nail the entire enemy team, as full geared, flasked, food buff, zerg, saltwaters pre-evocation, managem, trinket and i NEVER killed anyone with it, even with the precasted evocation, 60% dmg buff from zerg and salt, managem 5% dmg, evocation was also buffed and i still scratch enemies in 4-5 second cast after having also to cast surge before, meh…
