If you just got 2 stacks of NP while having Burden, you wanna Barrage right after the missiles (that gave you NP) and Blast (ST) or Blast into Barrage (AOE) the 2nd NP stack. The latter only if you have other options to regain arcane charges, either from orb tier set or having another CC proc charge.
that is the easy answer. It kinda doesnt matter when to spend the burden. Just make sure to use it with NP, before you get another burden and try not to overlap with the 4 set proc, which can be very RNG. If you dont want the hustle to keep these things in mind, the easiest way is to use it like he said, just after the missilies. a reason for holding burden could be, if you go into cooldowns very soon and want your spark empowered barrage to have NP AND burden. Also there might be more adds to cleave, the mobs go into execute very soon or you need a global for movement soon
Proper rate this type of content, especially the commentary of your thought processes in certain scenarios. I've made the switch in this expansion also, going from a WW monk since BFA to now fully switching to tanking as a prot war. Sitting at 2650 rating atm and its so fun learning a whole new style of play. Good luck in your future keys
2:15 if you're on 2 stacks NP you can just send Abarr if you're not already casting Blast, the first stack of the 2 NP can't be double dipped, so better to amp the Abarr than a Blast on that one, the last stack of NP can be double dipped so you spell queue So if you have GI or the set buff, you can do AM->Abarr->Blast(->Abarr if you get another proc)
For the Shaman healer moving frontal last second in that 11 NW: I think the shaman should have prepositioned behind the boss. But also your priest friend shouldn't have stood behind the boss after not being targeted by the frontal either. In my experience the default strat is to always take frontal behind boss, so it's best to never stand there unless you have the frontal on you.
Getting a solid kick rotation is hard when you are playing mage, spriest and double evoker. Feels like you really need a melee and a shaman kick to make it a bit easier.
The DoT from stitchflesh's creations stacks and it is nutso. As a Disc Priest main I feel that resto's pain, but yeah he shouldn't have prio'd the blood DK like that
First: Arcane Blast + Arcane Barrage (queued) consumes Nether Precision to enhance both spells (Double Dipping) Arcane Blast + Arcane Barrage (queued) consumes Burden of Power but it won't enhance Arcane Barrage, just the arcane Blast. If you have Burden of Power and 2 x Nether Precision, save 2 Blasts + Barrage. If you have Glorious Incandescence and 2 x Nether Precision, instantly arcane Barrage then Arcane Blast. This is because with the 4pc set you can proc and gain a free barrage at the end of your arcane blast with Nether Precision enhanced, which will give more damage overall.
That’s outdated. After the changes to BoP, you don't force double dipping anymore. You double dip if you happend to have 1 NP and any of the buffs that allow you to get back to 4 charges immediately (plus Orb and CC in AOE). The only scenario where you end up with Burden and 2 stacks of NP is your last Barrage or Blast made you reach Burden, you have no NP anymore but CC available. In that scenario you CC (to get NP back) and then send Barrage, clipping CC (if AE isn't up in addition). Then you follow the general logic again. If you check the APL or the guides on wowhead/IV, it's this scenario on when to barrage: "You are *not* casting Arcane Blast, have 2 Nether Precision stacks and any of Burden of Power, Glorious Incandescence or Intuition (tier)".
Gotta disagree with you regarding the shaman and breath from first necrotic boss. The general strat is for everyone to be stacked in front of the boss, and then you place the breath to the side or behind him.
Is SPriest actually viable after the buffs? I havent played since legion and really enjoy the SPriest but ive started leveling evoker and mage out of fear of never getting invites
yeah you only double dip the last stack of NP if you can refund your charges, aoe aether attunement, bop or 4 set. 2 stacks of NP with bop active you just barrage the first stack and keep blasting. if you have bop but had to move for what ever reason you dont need to blast>barrage you can just send the barrage or of you're already cast a blast then you just que a barrage anyway regardless
This might be just my opinion on the NW first boss frontal, but why would you lose uptime by prestacking behind boss and having 3 people move out instead of prestacking on the tank and having the person targetted move behind the boss. I really feel like this boss is a kill ASAP before someone gets unlucky and gets targetted without a defensive up, so maintaining good casting uptime on ranges/healer feels important to me.
Good job there! As much as I hate to admit, there is no way bm hunters can compete with any other classes atm, especially with the recent nerfs. Sure ST is okay but aoe? Ya, maybe until 11.05,
10:45 - you have a horrible interrupt comp. Stacking mage, priest, evoker for BIG DAMAGE isn’t great when you don’t have enough cc. But yes you have to decurse. Decurse would have made that pull much better
Loved this last time, looking forwards to the watching you go over the highs and lows once again! W Series!
Thanks bro!!

Dude timing 11's while "figuring out his spec" FR good job, love the content.

late but on necrotic its pretty universal for all to stand on the side away from adds and stand towards the adds with frontal so
You can actually invis corrupt casts from faceless corruptors in GB! Works the same way as if you used feign death.

In mists, you can have your evoker sleepwalk the leftmost mob in the three pack after the second boss so you don’t have a to risk the slowfall skip!

Love these series keep it up
Dude I learned a lot from your hunter. I wish you could play it again. Gl for the title
First:
Arcane Blast + Arcane Barrage (queued) consumes Nether Precision to enhance both spells (Double Dipping)

7:40. Don’t rely on alter. One little desync lag spike and you’re dead
warrior can intervene every single retch
Love the content mate
appreciate you gang❤️
Still waiting for the 3k rio with every druid spec 😂
You might be giving me an idea for S2, damn it.
Never give up
6:40 you can invis the charge
Necrotic wake makes grown men cry.
for real!
Gotta disagree with you regarding the shaman and breath from first necrotic boss. The general strat is for everyone to be stacked in front of the boss, and then you place the breath to the side or behind him.
Theres an addon/wa that announces you've used Alter Time to let healers know they can ignore you for a minute
Great content
whats the macro u have with frostbolt ? saw that on other ppl as well.
I would love to see Sparties PoV!
Arcane is complicated hehe, havent played mage since a little fire back in Legion. Its fun tho, havent tried frost yet tho
Hooow does the SP manage 1.8 mill overall on the first dungeon!? Insane
Is SPriest actually viable after the buffs? I havent played since legion and really enjoy the SPriest but ive started leveling evoker and mage out of fear of never getting invites
I would've loved to have read his toxic response after you pulled that dragon.. 😂😂😂

You never use Berserking?
I absolutely love your style of content, but please, unbind arcane explosion! And indeed I think you're making a great decision going frost!
LOL don't worry i do learn that at some point😂 enjoying all specs of mage!
Good job there!
As much as I hate to admit, there is no way bm hunters can compete with any other classes atm, especially with the recent nerfs. Sure ST is okay but aoe? Ya, maybe until 11.05,
What is the addon for loot window in m+ at the end of dung?
wait what's the 0.1% title? 3k rating?
lets goooo🎉
W series
Arcane orbs need to be patched like priest halo so it won’t randomly pull stuff 😭
10:45 - you have a horrible interrupt comp. Stacking mage, priest, evoker for BIG DAMAGE isn’t great when you don’t have enough cc.
But yes you have to decurse. Decurse would have made that pull much better
VESP you mean coming from BM main before?😅 cause u know SV aint ni joke 😊
Don't invis blightbone unless you don't like your group lol
Necrotic wake is garbage. Timer is way too tight. Stitch flesh is a mess
MOM LOOK IM FAMOUS xdd (bald)
Ironically this current version of Arcane mage is the easiest it's been since BFA.
perhaps! but still not easy with sunfury
Buff BM hunters!!!
If you really want to master arcane, watch phosphorous’s guides. And don’t go frost. Go fire for big damage in high keys
Highest keys have been done on Frost fyi.
ur playing with aug evoker, stop talking about ur dps its annoying me
Nah bad mage not using remove curse go back to BM.
