I would rather see more shadowlands content. Sorry man but personally I feel like not that many ppl are interested in pre-patch
Thanks man. Arcane is lowkey insane.
But can Arcane with all of it's int figure out what it is that makes kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
I haven't played wow in a very long time (since wotlk), thinking of getting back into it… Is it worthwhile starting from scratch in Shadowlands?
nice video 👍
Lmaooo i love when you impersonate some of your fans 🤣🤣🤣
But if you dont use clearcasting you still get two stack normally, with the pvp talent it says you get 2 more stack for what should be a total of 4 clear casting stack..
@Xaryu, I see your macroses for counterspell arena targets, but where are your spellsteal and sheep arena target ones?
Alot of stuff will be different in shadowlands compared to the prepatch. For starters, covenants will change your gameplay drasticly, atm we play with a few shadowlands tweaks to the specs and essences+traits. In terms of how mage looks like you got the following: frost which will have 2 builds, ice lance spam on the move with changes to how fofs are granted from orb lego or perma nova, or the frostbolt build which can deliver 20k crits, arcane will have either a missile spam or stacking damage for barage to one shot, and fire will be the weakest this time compared to the other 2, due to it losing lucid essence and blaster master traits. The guide you made looks kinda solid, considering the missiles/barage gameplay to be looking forward, and the most solid specs will be frost in terms of pressure, damage and self healing with the ice block conduits, and arcane with its utility. A quick note, Arc Power is not moded in pvp, so if you pick overpowered, it will be 35% total increase, instead of 50%. In terms of covenants, venthyr and night fae looks to be ways to go, first one for mobility and cc, second for mobility and cd utility.
Thanks for the video, few questions:
1. It looks like the charges are not needed? From your playstyle you never try to get charges.
2. How to burst? (given you have 0 charges and you can free cast)
3. Random question, can you install the addon Pika had? Which shows the skills you use, so we could learn from your rotation while you are steaming
Now iam started to learning mage so thank you
Great vid xar!
idk mage looks kind of boring, no new fun spells
Would you rather have a evil dad or a hand made out of biscuits????
Nice thanks bro this help me a lot !!
Thanks you for this guide !! You are the best !!
You phrased your overall burst damage wrong. You compared it 28% vs 33% but you didn’t add incanters flow increase to overpowered and just added it to the enlightened. It would actually be 28% vs like 53% or 73% if rune of power. Estimating. I might be off just slightly
When u spelsteal, u also get clearcast. I think u forgot to mention that 🙂
if you blink twice then you're out of blinks for 25 seconds, not a minute 😀
After shadowlands is released are the azurite traits and skills still viable in pvp? Or is the entire of BFA redundant? Including once u uave legendary items and 190 + gear?
Good timing, I started leveling an arcane mage last week
Low key I’d clap his cheeks, respectfully.
I'd just like to add something. Touch of the Magi may not be relevant right now, but when Shadowlands comes out, it will. Because along with the Kyrian covenant ability, and the one extra charge on Presence of Mind, you will be able to set up a big burst. And you could either start with it, or sheep and set it off. Venruki has done a video demostrating that and it's just insane!
PVP tool tips addon is great to see the actual dam of talents
Biggest person in my eyes Xar, yes!!! you are!!! :DD
been playing arcane since bfa was live. arcane has been underrated cause everyone wanted to do fire mage gpys lol. Have you tried time anomaly in pvp? it is pretty op when timewarp procs
You kicked my ass in 2’s a couple days ago with your arcane bullshit.
I main Arcane since S2 BFA basically all you said is how I play it Haha x) Mobility is a really good defensive and offensive and if you utilize it correctly you can even kite a DH so much fun
3:20: "Master of Time, guys. You MASTER TYYME."
Omnibar doesnt work…
Arcane mage is just the ideal class fantasy for me. I love that you have an on-demand snare instacast, no cd. The invis, the movement speed bonus from talent, big burst damage and more. Fire and frost are fun to play in their own right, bt I keep coming back to Arcane.
I think after displacement gone and recent nerf of the legendary "arcane harmony", i think blizz should at least revert the HUGE nerf of greater invisiblity they did somewhere in legion prepatch. https://www.wowhead.com/spell=110959/greater-invisibility#changelog
At least this would give some sort of protection against dots, dots in SL are overhwelming powerful in prepatch and SL, besides, invsiblity breaks all the time due to that, i would prefere this to be a reset cd and not just another dmg reduction cd.
I think getting altertime, temp shield, barrier, arcane power all dispelled is enough of a weakness and no way to bake in quickening azerite trait for some heals into the spec going toward SL.
Altered time with lvl50 in prepatch although it's avaliable on lvl 60? Nice job
Xaryu if you're going to spam Arcane Missiles, the pvp talent Arcane Empowerment is only giving you 5% increased damage for your next free missiles cast. the whole point of this talent is to stack it to 3 stacks and then unleash a +15% dmg missiles, then a +10% dmg missiles and then a +5% dmg missiles. If you can stack it to 3 then it's very high burst in the matter of 2-4 seconds depending on your current haste. But I understand how it can still be usefull since the clearcasting can also proc from spellsteal spamming (which costs very little mana for arcane compared to fire and frost) and also prismatic barrier, slow fall, nova and counterspell. The point is to spend a lot of high mana consuming spells to make it proc since you get 1% chance to proc it for every 50 mana spent. so if you spam spell steal which costs 693 mana you have a 13.86% chance per spellsteal cast to get a stack of clearcasting. This making it the most efficient way to get it to 3 stacks while you are moving or kiting. A warrior asked me why I was spamming spellsteal against him and I explained that's how I could make his hp go from 100-0 in a matter of seconds 🙂
Remember when this dude hated fire and would play frost even when it was the worst spec or he would just play sp or Bal druid . If you are a multiple R1 do I really need to play the "op" spec and just play the spec u enjoy the most.
I love your videos, I always watch and I always think about how to improve my gameplay as a mage.
Buuuuuuut I can't agree with 20% + 8% = 28%, because we are considering 20% of arcane power. to simplify.
Let's say I have 1k of arcane power, first it would be 20% of 1000 = 1200 and then 8% of 1200 = 1296 of arcane power. on your account 28% of 1000 would give 1280 arcane power.
I know that the difference is 16, or 1.6% but only to contribute to those who have always contributed to me 😀
Great vid man 💪🤓
