Wanted ask you about your opinion about mage arcane , other specs got plenty buffs, arcane was left behind in latest updates and now on 24 jan will get nerfed - is it because its that OP? Playing mage arcane i cant see that much of it OP ( but maybe its just me being weak lol XD )
On the other hand i completely dont understand logic with warriors, this class is already very strong and they keep buffing him, like 3rd time in row it will get buffed… more and more im thinking to switch to it, arcane have many weakness, defend, time to cast , very easy to break it burst, this class need some time to get it damage done during when each class today have at least 2 stuns , sometimes im not even able to do any damage at all as everyone else are stunning me constantly and killing me in meantime - or even if i got out of stun then with half HP gone I got very little chances to win…
It might get surpassed by Frost in fights where burst isn’t needed.
I don’t understand the Warriors buffs either, we have two warriors in raid and they’re both topping the meters.
I generally think most ppl playing warrior just have no idea how to maximise their damage output…
He did say it would be nerfed… but as far as I can tell, there’s no nerfs coming for Arcane. Perhaps hecause the other two specs are getting buffed. he sees that as a nerf to Arcane, I dunno.
PVP I cannot comment.
Raid feels fine, for the most, however mythic plus is a freak show. With Dragonflight they have turned WoW into a never ending dance dance revolution session where its mostly “move or die” and arcane is a spec needs heavily relies on standing still to cast or face doing little to no damage. The main issue is Rune of Power and Radiant Spark.
ROP + Movement = you move out of the rune and 40% of your dmg is gone
Radiant Spark + Movement: You run out of time to get the rotation in the spark window with the stacks, and again your damage is ruined. It’s the first expansion where I feel it really isn’t fun to play as most mechanics are fatally punishing, ending up one-shoting you if you fail to move.
Moreover the winds mechanics are just plain horrible (Ruby Life Pools f.ex).
It really feels like the dungeons play you instead of you playing the dungeons.
A 50% increase to Rune of Powers radius and 15sec on radiant spark would help a lot (its not like the dot does any dmg anyway).
But i get the feeling that blizzard does not want you to do damage all the to the max and force you into situations where you simply cannot, or have to have luck to do damage, which is just not fun.
A flat damage 5-10% damage increase would not do much at this point in m+.
I tried it in pvp……I loved mobile clearcasting procs but everything else just feels sucky. Press arcane surge, magi, POM, clearcast once to buff AB, cast Spark, AB AB, missile, barrage orb barrage………….ARGH. It’s too tricksy and confusing with too much to get wrong.
Gonna go back to ice lancing I think. And I really miss the old Arcane Power, much better the Surge, which is annoying and weird. “Spend all your mana in return for getting all of your mana back quickly.” WHY?
You might aswell…
Since they nerfed Siphon Storm it is not worth the risk anymore to play Arcane.
You need 10-15 sec setup time off non-interrupted casting to be able to pop off.
I really don’t understand why they nerfed it…
Fire and frost are in dire needs of buffs to bring them up to reasonable standards for higher keys and are getting joke 5% buff and no real improvements.
