Hi!
I am aware that all 3 specs were able to use Temporal Warp legendary effect and now Blizzard makes it official.
It all makes sense however in a process Arcane is the only spec in the game with only 3 unique legendary effects. That is simply unfair and should be fixed.
I’m extremely disappointed, since our Legendaries are just bad…It’s literally azerite traits into Legendaries…
Oh come on. 3 effects and how many of them are you going to use? Right, 1 at a time and currently only 3 options are of any real use. Something being unique doesn’t matter that much if it doesn’t do the job.
And you know in your heart that the real reason we can’t get anything nice is that devs have no idea how Arcane works and what makes it tick. Or they just don’t care. Same outcome.
Off topic but we also have less PvP talents than other specs. Like what the hell
I would not like to get into discussing how boring they are or how many I will use. It’s simply to have same number of unique options available as other classes/specs which is quite objective argument to make.
Less pvp talents?
Arcane is the only spec that still has the shield that returns health for damage done.
It has a talented range slow at 50 yards that reduces speed and is instant cast.
It has some of the best mobility with a good run buff when hitting with arcane barrage.
It has instant invis, something the other 2 mage specs would kill for along side iceblock to actually escape combat and invis can be upgraded with a run speed buff.
Oh and its completely rng, but if you talent it right and spam arcane explosion, you can get 4 to 5 clear casting stacks and nuke the bejesus out of people with arcane missile spam.
Actually even DK´s have better mobility than a Arcane mage in Shadowlands.
50 yard slow that no one ever uses, do you know why?
It has instant invis? Do you know what Firemages have? They have an actual tool to setup its damage/CC (DB). We have to wait for mass invis - from there poly or ToM just to be able to do damage (since we no longer have charge up).
If you try to open a fight with Arcane Orb - you´ll be at half life from that one GCD. Do you know how much damage you do as Arcane outside charges (using barrage comes at a cost)? We do not have combust - meaning for us to setup damage its even worst than it was in BFA.
No one in their right mind specs for arcane explosion. Since you are dead in 1 second from being in melee range with even two people.
I havent found a single legendary that would even fit my playstyle as Arcane - that is a problem. I see other classes having amazing ones - that people farm crazy for - yet I wont bother 1 sec trying to get any of mine. Blizzard : “Don’t worry guys, you´ll get one that will be completely broken later, its fine”
I´m not saying Arcane is weak, its not - but it has a worst design than it had in BFA.
Edit-
Sorry that I came across as triggered and a bit annoying 
Also there are things I do like with the changes - most of them are really good, the legendaries not so much.
I did not mean less powerful, but less in total number. Arcane has 9 PvP talents and Fire/Frost have 10.
Sounds right, Arcane lost displacement for Alter Time and Fire/Frost Temporal Shield for it.
Quite useless, it only stops foes from escaping.
While I agree that Chrono Shift is incredibly useful for kiting, Arcane mages can’t run and attack at the same time as Arcane lacks good instant damage.
Frost has Cold Snap and Fire has Cauterize.
Wasn’t saying its perfect, but try the other 2 specs and then come back and tell me arcane isn’t mobile or more easy to escape world pvp with.
I’m not talking about the hell that is arena clearly, personally I enjoy it for some security against the melee and fun mob kiting.
If a global cooldown / 60% slow with a 50 yard range that is instant cast is your idea of useless, I honestly don’t know what to say.
Slow + Arcane barrage = they slow down, you speed up, its fun.
I have used it in some bgs as well and just spammed it across all the horde on the battlefield from behind friendly lines, yes its not getting you all the kills but its hilarious.
Every class or almost every dps class will chase and catch u, somehow. But they will to
You clearly have not tried it, makes for very mobile gameplay and something to use between arcane barrage cooldowns.
Let arcane win something. They’ve just spent 4 years beneath both their sister speccs.
