Arcane Mage
Ranged DPSThe Mage spec best designed to Blink backwards. Arcane Mage is always changing in identity every season but is consistently slippery with massive damage potential.
Current Meta Position
Key Abilities
Important Casts
Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and instant abilities like Blind and Kidney Shot. It also removes you as the target, preventing enemies from attacking or interrupting your casts.
Hardiness grants a passive 10% stun reduction in PvP. Blood Fury can be paired with Arcane Power to maximize burst windows.
Haste is extremely valuable for Arcane Mage, reducing cast times and GCD. More Haste means faster Arcane Blast casts and smoother rotation. Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability. Mastery: Savant increases your maximum mana and mana regeneration, while also increasing Arcane damage. Solid but lower priority than Haste. Critical Strike provides burst potential but is less consistent than other stats.
