How to: Arcane Mage PVP (3.0.2)

[Christina]

christinia3d you never played a mage or never played arena @ highrating

Thank you for your valuable input Mr Leecher. "High Rating" is merely an opinion. Although if you don't consider 2400+ high ratings then I guess your right!

I have no way to prove it to you without logging on and showing you (Since you wouldn't believe me if I linked my armory) which I won't be doing as I do allot of illegal things on this site that could jeopardize my account.

I received Gladiator in 2v2 as mage/rogue in S1/S3/S4. As well as from my 3v3 as Rogue/Mage/Priest in S4.

I played this spec/setup to 2264 with a Ret Pally, Friday to Saturday. (Since the arena lag finally settled down) We only lost 8 games.

If your going to be specing Missile Barrage you should be putting your talents into Arcane Empowerment, not Ignite. That will cost you allot of damage.

This is a completely different play style then the one I listed though.



Arcane Barrage hits for 2.5k to 4k, instantly.

Difference of opinions though.

Sorry but arcane barrage will only hit for 2.5k to 4k with arcane power, I'm at 1116 spell damage in a mix of pvp/pve gear and only get 1.5k non crit and 1.8 on slowed targets.

And putting points into arcane empowerment isn't worth it, missile barrage is only a proc, the ignite is almost 100% guaranteed with the pom fireball.

Agreed to disagree.


Thanks for all of your input, none the less.

Your doing something wrong. My Arcane Barrage EASILY hits 4k crits at 1066 Spell dmg unbuffed.

Yeah maybe on a 70 mob or boss, I doubt you hit that much on a 400 res player.

Arcane is way too overpowered imo... everyone can play it. Pretty nice guide anyway!

[Blinky]

Good guide, I usually play fire for PvE but I'm going to try this soon
+rep x2

"Where is the find central spot on keyboard, slam down face, and roll side to side in a frantic manner, while jump turning?"

Covers Arcane PVP pretty thoroughly, exploring the deep intricacies while also alluding to the true range and broadness of gameplay.

Frost is best.

Unfortunately Frost can't compete with Arcane.

As Arcane Mages can even beat their counter class, Warlocks with ease.

I have to agree, even though I don't have that great gear (been on break for months)
Now when I come back, seeing myself get owned in the lovly frost spec (I use to play with, ofc with 3.0.3 updated tallents)..

Its so frustrating! Seeing a arcane mage just running around you (when you have IMBA SHEILD UP!) and they just pew pew it and you down in few secs! And they keep moving, they just won't stand still!

I wanna try out this spec and then return to comment once again!

Thanks for opening my eyes completly, did't know Arcane was the new pvp <3
