Arcane Mage Fun To Play Opposed To Fire Mage in Wrath Classic?

Hey everyone, welcome back to crabs couch. And WoW cataclysm Gold this is my guide for Arcane Mage in Wrath Lich King with the goal being to give you everything you need from just starting out playing as a mage all the way to full optimization and min max. As always, the sections are timestamps in the description for your convenience so you can hop around the video as needed. And with that, let's get started.

Is Arcane Mage Fun To Play Opposed To Fire Mage in Wrath Classic?

So first, I want to cover some of the changes to mage abilities that affect every spec from going from WoW Cataclysm Classic to wrath of Lich King, the first of which is evocation now it's going from eight minute base cooldown to a four minute base cooldown. And also invisibility now goes off after three seconds and damage doesn't interrupt it so it's a lot easier to when you're wiping to get out of combat save yourself some consumes and not die, and other changes to molten armor. So molten armor now instead of just giving a flat Curt rate now gives a percentage of your spirit converted to Critical Strike rating, I have it as 55% here, that's because I have the glyph the base amount is 35%.

And then the glyph gives an extra 20% It's our third best glyph the changes that Blizzard tics can now crit, so as you'll see here, some of these tips are going to crit. So it's just important to know when you're evaluating crit strike rating because Blizzard is what we primarily use for our AoE. And lastly, I want to talk about our new mage ability mirror image. So with mirror image, it's a three minute cooldown, and you pop this and it'll attack the enemy.

Now right now the AI is gonna be a little buggy, so it's they're not attacking right now. But if they do attack and they last their 30 seconds doing attacks over that course, that time, they can do up to like 13k damage. So it's a pretty good GCD. But you can also just pre pop it before a poll. So I'll go into more detail of how to optimally use this in the opener and the AOE section. But basically, they also take you off of the threat table. So you'll still be generating threat, but you can't get aggro. So if you're the only person you're just attacking a mob, it's great for soloing, because then the mob will have to attack the mirror images before it gets to you attack and kill them.

And then in a raid situation, they'll basically take you off the threat day because everyone else will be above you, you'll still be generating threats. So when they go away, you'll be back to where you were but you it's like less you know protection, you won't be able to the boss won't be attacking you. So it's a great time to use it at the beginning of a boss right right before the poll or also an AoE. 

When you know that the your tanks aren't going to WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold for sale be able to hold aggro on a bunch of the mobs, they just did a big gig of pull, you can pop the mirror images go ham on AOE and know that you're not going to pull a girl. Now I'm going to walk through the talent tree and some of the changes going from TPC to wrath Lich King for each of the different arcane talents, as well as some of the different arcane specs that you can go. But first I need to cover the biggest change for arcane is that there has been a change to Arcane Blast itself and the debuff that it gives.
