Meltoor,
hi im a g-mage and specced 53/18 atm. I do pretty low dps ( 2.5-3k). I would really like to go Arcane for the change and improvment of dps but im afraid that i'll face mana issues becouse my gear.
My stats
sp : 1520
hit:9.8% ubuffed
crit: 20.36%
haste :109
mana regen: 255
got 16k mana and 317 spirit. All the stats are unbuffed. Could i handle it?
E: Nps.

Hey you should add that in patch 3.1, they will buff mage armor to grant 50% regen, and Arcane meditation to grant 50% regen too.

For one most of this was copied or reworded from stratfu how to arcane mage but anyway the most logical pve spec would be Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft you don't need 5/5 arcane stab because you get it max with a pally concentration aura and the actual rotation as of 3.0.9 that does MAX dps is.

AB,AB,AB,MBrr,AM
If no MBrr then use : AB,AB,AB,AM,ABrr
It's rinse and repeat from there.
