Arcane Mage PvE - Nishiyamo (Grobbulus)

Game: World of Warcraft
Realm: EU-Gorgonnash
Class: Arcane Mage (57/3/11), Patch 3.1
DPS: About 6k on PW heroic

Music: EVE Online Music - Below the Asteroids: Available for free download on the EVE Online Page

Day by day I'm going to upload some movies of bossfights I experienced with my arcane mage in order to demonstrate the gameplay of this class in PvE. Sign up for my channel if you are interested in those movies. I am playing this class (not this char) now since the release of WoW and should know everything there is to know.. so feel free to ask if you have any questions.

I'm trying to get some good Ulduar records soon, should be more interesting than naxx since the patch is out ;-)

just switched to arcane from frost and i love it, just wondering does it help to make a macro to use PoM and ur SP trinket at once? and also when is the best time to pop arcane power ??( thanks for the tutorial vids)

[ifexx]

In my opinion there's no need to make a macro but if it helps you I don't see any reason why you shouldn't do it. Arcane Power goes nice with trinket procs but shouldn't be saved until then due to the small cd of 1.4 min.

Hey im new to arcane raid build can you tell me a good rotation to play with? because i seem to burn alot of mana quick

[ifexx]

I'm going to explain rotations in my third tutorial part, it's kind of much you have to know. Have a look at my other vids, I already posted some ideas for the rotation.

[xdxdxdlloll]

great job man! if you had spammed more AB and spent your evocation.

would that be better or worse?

[ifexx]

Thanks. Well, more AB result in mana problems in later progress of the fight. Thus, I wait until the boss is <10% hp and use more AB then. I could do so before, what will raise my dps for sure, but it would be much more problematic for me when I go oom.

[mindgames50]

its easy with 2 minute evocate and 3 mana gems i have never run out of mana on any boss fight

[gerard86]

Hey ifexx i really appreciate you sharing this info with us and would really like to see part 3 of your tutorial.

Dont keep us waiting too long :-))

And you are referring to?

[robman425]

i have 2003 sp as arcane, so ya thats with the sp boost from INT, and i do 4.5k on average 5k on patch.  :) all about rotation

[ozzer000]

my mage does up to 4.6k dps with 2 tier 8.5 and 213-226 item lvl gear. i go for spell power gems and crit ones then sp enchants. for ur rotation u want 3xAB barrage. but if the missile barrage procs durin th stacks stack uo then use it and if it goes after a barrage do one stack then use it

[Quiet0wing]

oh no, my gems and enchants are perfect, Its SP its not that at all....its my rotaion I think idk. I acually fixed it up a bit and now I have 2.6K dps.....but I have 2 tier 8.5 and tier 7.5!!! I should be at 4k! I just dont no....(well im at 2.6k on target dummy) and 3k in raids....i dont get it...
