If you play the class right you should do all right. Right now you completely rely on crit for burst. I miss cataclysm arcane mages though. If you run into a druid or paladin by yourself you are screwed. druid will go into reindeer form and paladin has speed buffs and you will never get away if they chase you down.

Compared to cata arcane mages are sooo boring. Before 5.0 my mage was my favorite. Now i hate it

same for me -.- ... i really loved my mage and now it's like casting on enemies with no effect at all ... the dmg is rly bad and against a class with healspells like a druid the best thing i can do is run bc
there is no chance i can bring them down
I hope there will be some class changes coming with MoP or i'll have to start a new class... it's just awful

I didn't think the damage was too bad. I was easily topping charts for dmg but it's just SO BORING. Spamming 1 button until it hits 6 stacks then hitting another button. Then repeat. Absolutely hate it.

Of course you do rofl

just cause i suck at fcing doesnt mean i cant do damage.

bal druids are the new mage in near all brackets now. rejuv does way more healing still than it should even after the so called 15% nerf on PVP healing.

in higher brackets druids use a glyph that allows rejuv in boomkin, them and H-pals ruling, frost mages are even in the WTF-over happened mode.

really ahsame all this crap slips thru the cracks even after:

- largest BETA ever
- longest BETA ever
- OPEN......BETA (not closed like others in the past)
- followed up by a PTR
- only a few players voiced PVP concerns that blues responded to....basiclly nothing was done

but same thing happened in WOTLK with ret-pals and DK's, but the warnings were there 3 months in advance, blizz did nothing went live and took around 1 year of nerfs to bring them to acceptible and were still rather OP

Er I was implying that you miss Cata Arcane Mages because all you had to do was derp around with blanket cs and you would score kills xD

 

[shanker]

playing my arcane tonight, it is gonna take adjustment into more of staying with others. arcane became rather FTOM after the huge buff to arcane barrage like apr-may 2011.

now their damage is weaker, but arcane explosion is good when hanging with others to pop the rogues and druids out of stealth

losing these three: CoC, sprint after the blink, 4 sec silence really make the class boring and tamed them down. losing frost blot and fire bolt, doesn't matter as much, the 2.75 sec cast on frostfire bolt is painfull, i'll stick with scorch on the move and remove frostfire from my bar

oh... lol XD



Shanker I would keep frostfirebolt because it is your only slow now. It is good for CC and If you are specced into Icy FLoes or presence of mind you can get a slow off either with no cast or while you are moving. This really helps when kiting and trying to get melee classes off of you. Something I found that works well is to kite them slow them, while using arcane barrage and fire blast and as soon as they get close to you almost within melee range you blink right into them. You have distance on them once again and you have some additional time because most likely they wont know where you went and willl be looking around for a couple seconds
