We'll still be rare. Though they may have "simplified" it, it isn't overly simplified. Therefore, it will still be over 90% of the player bases heads, and if one of our sister specs have even close to a damage capacity, they will opt for the easier profile every time.
Arcane got the least amount of changes during the Mage rework in Dragon flight. Love seeing them getting all the love now. It looks like it's going to be so damn fun
I've never really been a big fan of mage play styles even though i always like the fantasy of arcane mage. Always a melee main. Play testing arcane however has been some of the most fun I've had with a caster. Tune the numbers and keep the playstyle exactly how it is 👌🏼
I did some testing as Spellslinger with Arcane Blast and without and well.. I found we don't even need Arcane Blast as Spellsplinger lol, as it should be! Because it's all about literally slingin' spells right?! Literally how it feels with Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage and Arcane Orb. Couple Icy Flow for just two of the spells we have to stand still to cast and BAM!! Full blown Mobile Caster and when I first heard about Spellslinger my initial thought was.. "Hmm Spellslinger eh? Well that means we will finally get a mobile caster cast like a hunter but with spells" At first that wasn't the case until these recent changes! If the playstyle remains the same when it goes live and the number tuning isn't so bad lol. I may have found my main! Honestly the numbers as Spellslinger Arcane Mage is waaaaay to overtuned xD It does need to be balanced. *Fingers crossed* I am loving this playstyle, without having to use that annoying Arcane Blast >.> I would imagine Sunfury would have to use Arcane Blast.
The reason why as Spellslinger you don't need Arcane Blast is because a lot of our dmg comes from the Splinters. So what I did was removed AB from my bar and since Clearcasting procs a lot. I only use it to get the 2 stacks of Nether Precision and cast 2 Arcane Barrage's so I spawn the Splinters from it. Even if I don't get a Clearcast Proc which is rare to not have it. I cast Arcane Barrage until I get Clear Cast. Cast AM for the 2 stacks AB, AB. With this rotation you should always have Clearcast since you're only AMing for the 2 stacks of NP. It's fast paced because of some of the talent synergies to deal dmg this way. I do practically the same dps as if I had Arcane Blast. I'm really hyped about this current playstyle! I'm ready for the tuning, hopefully it will just be on par with the other classes, it should be right? Since Blizz has to balance all the classes >.> But that has never been done well ^_^' But still.. This current setup with the talents and how it plays. Really really good! Now I just have to hope and pray until pre-patch. >.
Wait they removed chronoshift?? That is like THE talent for arcane mage. That would be like removing the talent that sacrifices imps to give soul shards for demonology
no one plays arcane lol i main arcane and started this season later then most i got to 2k io and was already top15k in world and 100 on region but i love me arcane feels so good on beta compared to live but been playing arcane for 10 years will continue to play it no matter how bad or good it is just the best mage spec
They also made missiles only cashable when clearcasting us active, so you can't spam it anymore. Was looking forward to doing that with the spells longer talents.
Pre patch Mages are OP Release Mages are powerfull FIRST patch after release nerf to everything for 50%. >>> Mages become dogshit after nerf. /// people think that nerf is over NO One more even bigger nerf come after one more patch >>> mages regret to play as Arcane or Fire all go frost.

But with such developers and balamnce team freaking energy vimpires I HATE THEM.
Seems overturned I’ve been playing it for the last two weeks and even with the minor nerfs and changes to the tree it’s still overturned fire is better arcane is lame but yes it is pumping and if it still pumps like this at launch I will be playing it over fire regardless I like the way fire feels better
I really like the mechanics for Spellslinger, BUT the splinters looks like made of cotton candy. 😭 Can't believe blizzard missing another opportunit to give some lightning flavour to arcane. Make the splinters solid and sharp purple crystals with blue lightning around. Blue crystals and purple lightning for Frost. In the same way, Arcane Missiles/Blast/Explosion/Orb can just have some crackling energy when hit the target. But Arcane Barrage was the first missing opportunit to give a Arcane Lightning spell, call down purple/blue lightning bolts instead of spyrals bolts. 🥲
Keep getting buffed? umm, nerfing arcane blast 10% + removing crackling energy which is another 20% resulting in MINUS 30% its a buff? removing chronoshift will hit a little?! mages were not much dependable on movement?! umm mate, have y been watching same PvP matches as i did or we been watching different game? its massive, massive nerf, mages defend is made out of cardboard so avoiding clash with melee is mandatory, now it will be much much more difficult to do so.... i really hope they will reverse it or at least somehow compensate ( maybe +1 blink? )
This is becoming a meme. Frost and fire are fine, if undertuned numbers-wise. Fire literally just got a load of nerfs. Arcane got a rework and still hasn’t had its numbers fine-tuned. There is no reason to “nerf all mages” lmao.

Getting orb barrage and arcane harmony is going to be so fun
Im gonna miss the days of feeling rare as an arcane mage player

they removed chronoshift for arcane, so they intentionally busted their kneecaps for mage in pvp.

not really. it's like removing the talent that changes burning rush to do less damage to you. unless you pvp, then blizz don't care about you anyway
@liamdavies2823 well yea. 99% of my play time is pvp so I think about the game that way
kyrian arcane was a lot of fun if you played it properly
Whats the background music being played?
Boralus in BFA
@@25rsimporiginal melody from Warcraft 2 theme for humans…. best OST ever
@@25rsimp i cant seem to find the part thats playing around 9:20
That's from warlords of dreanor. Tallador iirc.
Never played mage but was looking at fire, how does frostfire feel in comparison to arcane Slinger? Similar or totally different?
In my opinion frostfire fire mage feels SOOO fun to play but it’s not as good as arcane is in damage
Did they do the opposite of a stat crunch??? 5m life as an arcane mage...
all these god dam videos about arcane mage now everyone is all of a sudden an arcane mage
cause its finally fun and not so complex maybe? lmao
M.A.G.E literally keep on wining.
no one plays arcane lol i main arcane and started this season later then most i got to 2k io and was already top15k in world and 100 on region but i love me arcane feels so good on beta compared to live but been playing arcane for 10 years will continue to play it no matter how bad or good it is just the best mage spec
god damn Arcane looks way to fun!!! I have always played frost but this will make fun to play with both of them finally
the arcane dream is real
missiles didnt get buffed, they removed the talent that gives dmg and just gave it in a flat damage buff
They also made missiles only cashable when clearcasting us active, so you can't spam it anymore. Was looking forward to doing that with the spells longer talents.
@@s.armitage3963that’s why I wanna delete my mage now
well, they killed fire with one round of nerfs, so i kinda disagree that mages keep getting buffed
They better give fire some more defensives, they clearly don't have enough.
lol
Pre patch Mages are OP
Release Mages are powerfull
FIRST patch after release nerf to everything for 50%. >>> Mages become dogshit after nerf.
/// people think that nerf is over
NO
One more even bigger nerf come after one more patch >>> mages regret to play as Arcane or Fire all go frost.
After 2 years of TWW comes final parch bofore new pre patch of new expansion. That Makes Mages again OP.
Everyone hyped!!!
History repeat.
I still beleave that blizzard are demons from eat hate/fear/pain/frustfration and more negative things.
They not allow fun.
Noone will be able to prove that...
I 99.99% sure that mages will be playable for a few weeks MAX.
Same with other OP or strong classes.
They dont know maths.
If your class is OP he will be wiped
From other side weak class will become buffed and become OP.
And such swings are dance year by year....
Are you able to play ONE class?
HELL NO.
Its will be dogshit every 3-6 months then swing and OK, then again swing and its shit again.
Its was since TBCvanila its will be again 100%.
I know and I bleave that WoW is best game MMO ever.
But with such developers and balamnce team freaking energy vimpires I HATE THEM.
I’m an arcane main and to be fair to all classes arcane needs another nerf or it’s overpowered going into TWW
Seems overturned I’ve been playing it for the last two weeks and even with the minor nerfs and changes to the tree it’s still overturned fire is better arcane is lame but yes it is pumping and if it still pumps like this at launch I will be playing it over fire regardless I like the way fire feels better

Nah, you needed nerfs just like my unholy dk did too. You were broken. And mages are still good.
@@GUTAMAYAx yeah, mages got lots of buffs and were too popular, fair enough but dont remove key skills just because its popular, thats not the way...
Bruh you are talking about pvp on a pve video…
@@Jroxs1122 wtf y talking about, 1st - check his content , 90% about PvP, 2nd - removing chronoshift is affecting PvE and PvP?
nerf all mage blizzard pls. ALL MAGES
Nope
This is becoming a meme. Frost and fire are fine, if undertuned numbers-wise. Fire literally just got a load of nerfs.
Arcane got a rework and still hasn’t had its numbers fine-tuned.
There is no reason to “nerf all mages” lmao.
Fire got snuffed out, frost is still mediocre, arcane seems like the new class pet
Why ? Don't you want your clasd to be good as well ?
