Incanter's Absorption+Engineering abuse

[Smom]

This is nothing new but I think most have forgotten about it since Arcane was a "second" spec in ICC(until now).

I did a search and didn't find threads about it. I'm sorry if this is a repost and I'd as for a delete incase it is.

Incanter's Absorption+Mage Ward=Spellpower if frost/fire/arcane damage taken

Global Thermal Sapper Charge does fire Damage to the caster, and doesn't trigger GCD making it a free 300 additional spellpower whenever you can pop Mage Ward along with it.

They scarle with talents and gear btw, as for me they do around 3,4k fire damage back!

Really good as you can pre pop Mage Ward and chop with 300 additional spellpower for 10seconds in the "burn phase" at no dps cost!

Not an exploit but damn good use of mechanics +rep

This may also work with the paladin talent: Blessed Life: Blessed Life - Spell - World of Warcraft

If you're making a macro to trigger your cd's, do it like this this:

#showtooltip Arcane blast
/cast Arcane Power
/use 10
/use Mana Gem
/cast Global Thermal Sapper Charge
/cast Arcane Blast

So you gain the benefits of scaling(to max the damage taken)

Using mana shield/mage ward triggers a GCD. Only use it if you are moving, or else its a dps loss.

[Smom]

Which doesn't matter if you pop Mage Ward BEFORE going in combat(like prepotting), that way you WON'T spend a gcd on mage ward IN combat, and you'd pop your CD's within' 15seconds after starting the encounter(Mage Ward lasts 30seconds). Your point is valid, but it won't change the use of the "exploit" or the "clever use of game mechanic".

Sorry if my point came across wrong in my first post and hope this helped.
