Arcane Mage PvE

[ank 0]

The leveling slide doesn't work for me, it's just full talents no matter what position you set on the slider.

Hello Aona,

perhaps this is the explanation:

Best Spellslinger AoE/Mythic+ Talents for Arcane Mage

This build focuses on doing significantly more AoE damage at the cost of priority DPS, by swapping into Arcane Pulse and Reverberate. It also opts into more Mythic+/Dungeon based utility talents.

Note: if you want to focus on doing priority DPS instead of all out AoE DPS, I still recommend this build, even though Arcane Pulse is not used when doing priority DPS. This is because almost every single dungeon has some packs where you do not need priority DPS, and being specced into Arcane Pulse for those packs is very beneficial, especially because you barely give up any useful talents to opt into it.

As of 3/16 the talent tree section does nothing when you try to click on one of the options so there is no way to see or export the talents.

Hi, just wanted to let someone know that clicking on the builds for arcane mage does notthing, there is not import string or even a talent tree that I can look at, Maybe I am missing something? Seems to work with the other mage specs!

Hey I'm just leveling an Arcane Mage and found a little error in the (Slider) Rotation

Arcane Orb pops up with lvl 21 but following the Talent Tree you get it with lvl 23

 

Cheers

You have Presence of Mind mentioned in the rotation for mobility, but invested no points into it in the skill tree

The vast majority of talents in the Builds section are displaying incorrect icons.

Hi both,

I appear unable to reproduce this issue. Could you please try again now to see if you still have this issue?

Thanks!

The best raiding tree does have Presence of Mind selected which is why it shows on the rotation page.

Thanks for the report! I have raised this with the developers and they fixed the issue!

The single-target builds don't use Arcane Pulse, which is what the rotation page by default has pre-selected. However, if you use the AoE presets you should see Arcane Pulse in the rotation.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this or see any other issues!
