Mana usage as Arcane in dungeons

Recommended Posts

I have a question for Arcane mages that I couldn't find existing guides mention on any website. In dungeons, mana is not typically an issue as a healer because you can just drink/eat in between packs, I mained a healer up until now so that mindset is just ingrained in me. As Arcane Mage, would the same principle apply? Is it optimal to just forgo the conserve part of the rotation and just burn as much as you sustainably can with every  pack, since you can just eat conjured food in between packs, or should you still do conserve/burn phases similar to what you'd do in a raid?

Thanks.

Yep. 

When I'm running M+ as Arcane, I just drink and then use Shimmer to get to the next pull. No reason to conserve unless you are doing very high M+ with slow pulls that last longer than a single burn phase.

      I started playing Augmentation Evoker this season, and I am finding it difficult to identify areas to improve upon for Mythic+. Details only tracks Ebon Might and Prescience uptime, and I've heard that warcraftlogs is also not correctly calculating the augmentation evoker's contribution. Generally the logs indicate that my DPS is below the other 2 DPS but above the tank (by a small margin).
      Prescience
      Prescience has ~22 second duration (increased due to Mastery: Timewalker ), and a ~11 second cooldown (due to Interwoven Threads ). It can also store up to 2 charges.
      This means I can have either a 100% uptime on both damage dealers by only using it on them (manual selection) or I can use it on cooldown, selecting a healer if the duration of the buff on the dps more than 6 seconds / having the game auto-target a party member without the buff.
      With the 2-set bonus, the duration is also doubled on every 3rd cast of the spell, which prefers using the spell on cooldown so I can have up to 4 instances of the buff running. This playstyle will greatly benefit the 4-set bonus (when I get it 😐 ).
      Blistering Scales
      Always cast on tank on cooldown since it gives an absorb along with bonus armor etc.
      Ebon Might
      Always on cooldown unless the pack will die in 5-10 secs.
      Upheavel
      Always cast on cooldown when I have Ebon Might. Always Empower level 1. Difficult to calculate the AoE for level 2-4 to hit multiple targets, I sometimes try to increase the empower levels to see if i can hit spread targets.
      Fire Breath
      Always cast on cooldown when I have Ebon Might. Preferably Empower level 4, the only times I cast early when I need to move, crowd control (interrupt / knockback / knockup). I also end the cast it early if I see Ebon Might is about to fall off. This is also macro'ed with Tip the Scales and my Trinkets.
      Breath of Eons
      Used along with the party's DPS cooldowns, when available. I'll rather wait for them to pop theirs than use it on cooldown. Using OmniCD addon to track their cooldowns.
      Eruption
      All essence is spent while in Ebon Might window. If Ebon Might is not up and I have 6 essence, or 2 essence burst I'll use it outside the buff window to avoid missed.
       
      Can anyone tell me the correct way to use Prescience? If there is any issue with the the logic on the other spells? Any way to analyze the logs to make improvements?
