Why Arcane Rocks My Socks
Dec 17th
A lot of people question me… why arcane? Frost is so much better for leveling and pvp, and fire is where it’s at for dps, right?
The game has changed folks. Arcane, properly utilized, is the NASTIEST single target dps spec for a mage in WoW, and provides a lot of damage prevention/absorbing and MOBILITY. Arcane barrage is instant cast on a very short cooldown, and as this video shows you… it fucking HURTS man. I believe what Blizzard said was that arcane barrage had the spell damage coefficient of a 3 second cast spell, but in an instant.
Combine this with the now-stackable-to-4 arcane blast buff, and this gets nasty. Toss in torment the weak and slow, and jesus fuck man… believe me, I’ve seen what it does. And I am still leveling my damn mage! 71 at the moment and pushing upwards of 2200 dps at times. 22-fucking-hundred dps. At 71. Shit, I average 1300-1600 but still man. Either the game is bugged, arcane is OP, or I am just damn goddamn good.
Uhm, what?
What the FUCK?
56% crit bitches. Screen shot or it didn’t happen, here it is.
Full, uncropped image is here:
JUST to prove I didn’t tamper with it.
Check that crazy shit out.
Blizzard… please don’t nerf arcane. This shit is too much damn fun.

Loading ...Mage DPS – Level 70 – Arcane Experimental Spec
Dec 15th
So last night I was playing my warlock in the nee Icecrown Citadel 5-man, Halls of Reflection, on heroic mode. Some jackass who was running a (broken) version of recount said he was going to kick me from the group for doing “1300 dps”. Motherfucker I was doing 2200 dps on my warlock in the low level 70’s, now I’m in tier 9 gear and he tells me because of a fucking addon that I do shit dps?
Well, Recount released a fixed copy this morning. I’m not usually a meter maid, but I downloaded it. Here’s a screen shot of my level 70 mage in moderate-to-shitty gear dpsing a target dummy.
1861.2 dps.
Not even fucking TRYING.
No buffs.
Suck it dickhole.
Oh, Drew, also, apparently this is why I kept pulling off you when you tanked. Sorry bud.
