Hello, can Someone please explain in detail how Arcane mage one shots work? And Is there some weakaura that would yell at me that mage has access to big dam barrage So i can press defensive? Talking about the one shots outside of Arcane surge. Its kinda frustrating winning game hard, having all defs in game n then dying from 70% hp in single barrage without enemy team landing any cc or really anything happening. Thanks!
Why do you need a weakaura?
Just check when they cast arcane surge.
Talking about the one shots outside of Arcane surge. Read properly.
That doesnât happen, itâs in arcane surge the damage happens.
I dont wanna bé rudé but Ppl at your mmr have generåly issues walking straight. Mages aƄ 2.4 mmr 3v3 bracket do 8+ mil barrages out from nowhere. Thats why im curious what IT Is And how to track IT. I Wish i had to track ONLY surge like in past.
Arcane is a damage modifer spec, thatâs all it is.
The big Arcane Barrages out of nowhere comes from 4-5 rotational buffs and the target being under 35% health where Arcane Barrage does has yet another damage modifier. Some buffs are random, some are activated (like Nether Flux and Arcane Surge) and some are built through doing damage (Arcane Harmony). Eventually you will have a âstars alignedâ moment where you have every buff at the same time and if this Arcane Barrage also crit, (which is probably a 10% chance) itâs a lot of damage. If the mage waits around for this situation to happen he can be waiting for a long time. Most of the time you will have a few of the buffs, and rarely all at once, but obviously it does happen. Good mages that play around these buffs will settle for less than optimal conditions just to do SOME damage, and most mages donât even pay attention to the buffs, they just crank.
If you are looking for something to track that isnât Arcane Surge, âIntuitionâ is a good one which increases the next Barrage damage by 50%. Intuition is ârandomâ, but has a built in mechanic so it will procc every 12âth spell at least.

thanks man
Yes u can find weakaura that shows when they have barrage modifiers up. Aeghis talked about it sorry i dnt remember name right now. Basically the one shots are because of stacking modifiers plus bugged hero talent tree that lets you stack arcaned harmony to double whats is supposed to be.
- Intuition is big one too look out for plus when they have high stacks of arcane harmony (generate stacks from missiles).
*Arcane bombardment increases barrage damage when enemy below 35% hp so if he cast nether flux thn u must kick. - Nether precision increases the damage of your next 2 arcane blast of barrage by 20%
Main problem is intuition with the 50% increase, especially if he has arcane surge up.
Most of the really huge crits are by really rare scenarios where all these procs are stacking at once.
