Whats the difference between stacking Multistrike and Haste? does any of them benefit more and less than the other?

 

Is it viable to just stack Multistrike?

Sorry for spliting this into two comments, but, does Multistrike WORK on arcane mages? I really enjoy watching double attacks go off. 

 

Could I stack Multistrike as an arcane mage without sacrificing dps?

As I have said above. There is a reason why we suggest Mastery / Haste (with T18) as to priority.

tl;dr .: no

wow_icon_trade_archaeology_draenei_tome. Tome of Shifting Words, your class trinket from Archimonde reduces the cast time and global cooldown of wow_icon_spell_arcane_blast.jpg Arcane Blast during wow_icon_spell_nature_lightning.jpg Arcane Power. As a result, you want to prioritise Arcane Blast over wow_icon_spell_nature_starfall.jpg Arcane Missiles during Arcane Power, the idea being to cast Arcane Blast as many times as possible, without wasting a proc of Arcane Missiles and without running out of Mana.

 

T18 2-piece bonus gives wow_icon_spell_nature_starfall.jpg Arcane Missiles a 35% chance to summon a random hero to assist you in battle for 10 seconds. If you have the T18 4-piece bonus, your damage is increased by 12% per random hero active.

The random hero from these set bonuses is an entirely passive mechanic and do not change the base rotation. That say, during wow_icon_spell_nature_lightning.jpg Arcane Power+wow_icon_spell_mage_focusingcrystal.jpg Prismatic Crystal, you need to try and cast wow_icon_spell_nature_starfall.jpg Arcane Missiles as often as possible without capping Mana, in order to summon additional heroes and benefit from their damage buffs while the cooldowns are active.

 

These two statements kinda contridict eachother, and was just wondering what I should do during arcane power + Prismatic crystal with both the 4 set and class trinket (HC).

I had a small talk with my reviewer and indeed, there is a problem there. There is no consensus in the theory crafting community regarding what is best when you have both the class trinket and the T18 4-piece bonus. So I added a note to that effect to clear some of the confusion. Thanks for the comment!

AMR is tool, not a guide. It is going to work with your input data and will give you answers based on that.

If you are talking about T18 set bonus, then keep stacking Haste.

If i am not close to burning phase i can cast arcane missiles at 4 stack of arcane charge just before arcane barrage. But most of the time i should be saving arcane missiles charges for the burn phase. But if i have some kind of buff and i am 1 minute before burn phase i can use them. There should be written than you should cast arcane missiles at 4 stacks arcane charges. If the missiles proc chance is like 20% and u have 3 of them and 3 arcane charges i think u should cast arcane blast first and than missiles. this is 3 cds ABl 8kmana  MI ABa. You should cast missiles at 0 stacks even if u have 3 of them.

For some reason the macros won't work sometimes (or more often), especially preparing for burn phase or during it.

For example the macro that cast Arcane Power and Arcane Missiles at same time, same thing with Presence of Mind + Arcane Blast. As far I know Arcane Power and Presence of Mind are off GCD, still they dont get cast (sometimes) and instead I get only an Arcane Blast or Missiles cast like I pressed the normal button and not the macro. Worst part is when I don't realize that Arcane Power hasn't been cast and I already spamed a few Blasts after that during Time Warp. Anyone know where the problem is? Is it macro based or UI ?

Just a note on my usage of Mirror Image: I found that they are affected directly by what your stats are, so if you cast it near when someone activates Bloodlust, they will have a similarly increased DPS. For that reason I usually save Mirror Image for the primary burst phase, and try to cram in as many rotations of it as I can before without risking missing out on the interaction.

 

If you find that I'm wrong, it either changed it or I was mislead by the RNG sha.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
