"It's visually stunning" -- just like your haircut! Great video, Arcane looks hella fun. 🧙🏻‍♂️

[@zionzorshin1579]

love watching these mage videos from ven. hope to see more mage content like this. its always great to see the insight of a great mage player and whats going on with the class.

[@StrobeFireStudios]

Probably check out Aeghis. He's a mile above any other Mage player on retail.

[@zionzorshin1579]

@@StrobeFireStudios haha i don't think hes better than ven. but yeah i know i am subbed to him also

[@Tr3nix]

As a new Arcane mage main for S4 in DF... I am insanely hyped.

[@leequesada439]

6:15 IT must've been something u saaaid. I just died in your arms tonight. LOL

[@Iza92i]

Arcane is also my favourite spec but just on Cvark

[@douglaswhalen7065]

jesus, I'm so excited to try this

[@semi6544]

I know mana isn't a concern in PVP but how does the mana management feel?

[@brandonspengel5727]

I've played every expansion since WoW's release - and with the exception of a short stint in Vanilla WoW MC and in WoW Classic '19 for ZF farming; i've never played a mage. I can hardly understand what is even happening with retail mages half the time - but this? I want to play this hahaha

[@hermitxd7369]

Being back legion missile animation!

[@camsmyth101]

I love that it’s has a lot of movement

[@AlxndrXX]

Hey guys I cannot identify what set is featured in the arcane mage spec tab. Does anyone know? Please help

[@freakaz0id89]

mage is sooo winning this xpansion. every specc looks extremely pleasing. ok - priest has that little black hole that looks awesome but besides that, mage is just what every mage ever dreamed of. you are just raining down frost, fire and arcane on enemies and everything lights up its sooooo nice to look at. been mage ever since vanilla and never been so happy with it :) dont care about numbers

[@Craftee6]

That little black hole is incredible gameplay pattern for disc specifically, but yea, overall all 3 mage talents are bangers, among the best hero talents with probably rider of apocalypse, voidweaver, and herald of the sun.

[@xxgamerxx6074]

im curious if you tried the new mage stun

[@scanGfu]

Class/spec balance will be non-existing in WW, cannot wait

[@GUTAMAYAx]

Yeah, pvp is going to be the worst it’s ever been and I thought that of df.

[@freakaz0id89]

its gonna be chaotic and thats good! variety is a spice of life ;)

[@Fubasta]

I have no doubt it will be for a while at least. That said, tuning isn't something they are focused on right now in the beta.

[@Kristers_K]

@@freakaz0id89 Certainly won’t be fun, never is on the receiving end.

[@evn556]

Mmm yeah can’t wait to devour you with DH 🤭

[@Nhouyengah]

Finally as arcane I can play a Hunter :joy: no cast time is great

[@victoratehortua8478]

Yeah this is definitely making it to the live patch

[@maagi1]

It had pretty similar damage to other classes when r1 player played against random potatoes, so it doesn't seem overly op at least.

[@JayKay-do1jv]

shouldnt we be using magi before surge so the dmg stacks up?

[@BrotherOats]

Why does arcane orb cooldown reset sometimes :)? Thanks!

[@merlin_siegfried]

Arcane Mage Is My Favourite Spec In The War Within, of course as a fotm player you like the new Arcane Mage, what a surprise.

[@TheFirefox516]

The splinterstorm animation looked way better before. I wonder why they changed it. Spec looks super fun tho

[@Craftee6]

They kinda overdid animations for mage, they looked incredible but they're toning them down, i guess perfomance issues showed on alpha if there was few mages in a raid grp/bg. They also did some changes on sunfury like toning down 8 meteorites to 4 and increasing dmg by 100% instead.

[@DarkConjurer34]

Does arcane seem a bit easier to play?

[@rumbleshakes]

Craziest part is fire mage was doing twice the DPS.

[@The_Fictionist]

No one should care about numbers right now. They’re still doing things like buffing or nerfing spells by >30%

[@salihkizildag]

fire mage is very popular so it'll always be op. we'll never see an xpac where fire mage is bad

[@ristuksenvittu]

​@@salihkizildag I always wondered why people like popular things, it seems like most people dont have a mind of their own. They listen to popular artists, they watch popular movies, follow popular streamers and youtubers, do things others do etc.

[@salihkizildag]

did they revert all of this or sth? the tree looks completely different now

[@aroshley4348]

17 changes for arcane, yep

[@tomothered]

You think Arcane will be hard to play in PvE in TWW?

[@mattharris1088]

I remember your first video when Spellslinger was announced and you were so salty and sooky about it. Saying it was the worst thing ever. How times change :), glad to see you enjoy it.

[@Craftee6]

7:25 Man i really wanted to see those details why zoom :(

[@Spiritt_Daphiti]

Cool video ! It is seems or look that arcane mage will be like Shaman's Elemental overload mastery...... So sad :(

[@AbrahamLincoln_]

FUN

[@jojoheadshrinker24]

Why hit the target dummy that gives us no clue how much damage it’s doing in respect to player hp?

[@jacobwilliamsmccracken2755]

Because it's beta and the numbers don't even matter at this point, things will be balanced further, so damage isn't the point. It's that the game play is FUN.

[@Chiz558]

Mage is my new main in the next xpac

[@zionzorshin1579]

youll regret it

[@veppy4952]

you and 80% of the population after they saw fire mage lmao

[@salihkizildag]

@@veppy4952 if blizz only cares about mage and only buffs it then ofc we'll all play it

[@leequesada439]

Did Missiles just hit all targets? wtf? is that because of the SpellSplinters or a new talent that allows it to hit multiple. wow.

[@zionzorshin1579]

thats what the 4 set does for arcane in dragnoflight pretty sure they just reworked it into the talents for TWW

[@XhaouSin]

MachinegunVruki

[@heatmuscle9343]

Do Canadians spell favorite that way?

[@felipefurtado2156]

I think the overall problem is that at one point we wanted more talents and spells - we got that. Now, considering the a large majority of these additions were added for the majority of players. Aka pve players. The other problem is balancing these changes for pvp which honestly seems virtually impossible. I think the only way we’ll get an even balance is if we do what we did in previous expansions. Adding/removing a small amount of spells which is much more manageable than this horrible system we have here. Cata wasn’t perfect by any means in terms of damage or balance. BUT I think that we can use the changes from Wotlk to cata as a comparison for future expansions.

[@d4mephisto]

I love arcane :D

[@mada9891]

From 7:00 until the mage dies, you do 1 million DPS. I think the interrupts are justified.

[@chc2650]

Visually this looks like a hit

[@sMkasdf]

why are you in stormshield ? haha

[@travisshannon9040]

Needler from halo lol. Welp I found my spec.

[@doms5755]

They’re nerfing all of this.

[@Phanski89]

thats the coolest visuals ever JOOO, btw. Hunter Dark ranger and Pack leader have ZERO visuals haha

[@vaels5682]

definitely not as much in shuffle

@@zionzorshin1579 it actually is what makes you win most of rounds lol

[@beben9879]

I'm sorry but.. as main arcane mage since draenor.. I really dont like the direction of blizzard for arcane . Gonna swap for fire.

[@zionzorshin1579]

both seem really fun, even frost with the 4 set looks fun. looking forwawrd to just figuring out whats best.

[@Levelity]

We've reached the no hard casting point of ranged DPS.

[@Daemon661]

As a lock, I disagree.

[@AlexPetcu84]

As a Shadow Priest, I disagree.

[@sbsftw4232]

He was hardcasting constantly wtf

[@Daemon661]

@sbsftw4232 I mean he didn'treally have to hard cast anything that often. Vast majority of it was instant cast procs, or super quick casting procs that he could move and cast from the looks of it on top of it.

[@FusionshadowXJ]

If melee is going to have so much uptime and so many micro-cc's then the game is basically forced into giving so many instant casts to casters in order for them to stay relevant. I'd be completely in favor of going back to melee being kitable and casters having to cast, but the mobility arms race has been getting worse and worse ever since Monk / DH were introduced

[@bartomiejzabrzeski6415]

They gonna nerf it to the ground cause they favourite child fire must be always on top. Also the amount of casting arcane has to do and micro Cc's there is now it does not look as fun as it should be.

[@MaggleTheMage]

I main arcane mage and blizz is gonna nerf arcane week one like they do with every expansion :/

[@DarkConjurer34]

Nah. Its damage is like mid tier right now. Fire mage will get a big nerf

[@sk8ns4life]

I mean, it's just diablo/poe at this point. Just put as many numbers on the screen with as little thinking as possible.

[@leequesada439]

1.76BILLION dps !!!!!!!!!!!!! lmfao. wtf... These are the numbers i've dreamed about.. yay for no stat squish :D

[@KoldbruiseKlips]

Target dummy damage bro, not in pvp like that thank god.

[@vaels5682]

Lol the "big numbers = better" mentality is so stupid.

Increase mana regen ffs!!!!(pve'er comment) and make polymorph nature damage!! (pvp'er comment) Thanks for the video guy

[@cod-the-creator]

Ah yes, the hype portion of new expansion. Can't wait for 2 weeks after the expansion is out when we transition to "this is shit and we all knew it was shit before it launched"

[@brandonkruse6412]

Who is “we all” because I enjoyed Dragonflight for the most part.

[@quizkill]

Dragon flight is the first expansion in a while where I didn't cancel my subscription at any point.

[@noonesp3cial]

If you all think blizzard isnt going to ruin this then you all are fools

[@Fen3rbahce]

Df 2.0

[@zayon0170]

undeniable that M+ destroyed wow PvP due to M+, everyone does full AoE (even sub/sin rog 😂) and everyonr have everything... i think i wont do a single arena game, all my hopes goes in soloBGs

[@lucasskywalkercortez4533]

@venruki Would be cool if you looked into Enhancement Shaman and how bad it is. Need your voice to help us out. Enhance is trash, you know it I know it everyone knows it. It has been for years. No mobility, no MS, cant play it in 2s..No one wants in RBGS. Its been bad for years and no one ever says anything or speaks up on it. We got our hero talents dead last out of everyone and they are bad. Other classes getting multiple reworks in DF and TWW and we havent had a rework in YEARS even tho its the worst melee in PVP... NEED YOUR HELP

[@9Hookr9]

Melee need nerfed so bad.

[@Fen3rbahce]

Arena looks even worse than dragon flight

[@boganbattalion7088]

The war within looks like it's going to be a million times worse than DF for buffs and nerfs because as we all know it will have a super hero class that will peev everyone off then they will of course nerf that but why they are at it nerf other builds for no reason and give buffs to other classes for no reason and then rinse and repeat for three seasons until they finally decide too many have quit and it's time to reel it in! PVP needs a separate game asap

[@1MarlonMs]

i mean, looks cool.. but the damage... always the problem with arcane

[@maagi1]

It's still best mage spec and one of the highest caster specs in shuffle if you count both regions. Highest in EU.

[@leequesada439]

ugh.. i hate playing a caster with a DK as my enemy.. they're so damned annoying....

[@gruuzol6280]

Sounds like a skill issue

[@truja97]

Why does everyone have insane cleave and aoe. Looks cool honestly but, they literally turned pvp into pve. Tbh it's been like that for a while, but it's even more now.

[@AlunethMaster]

i mean... yes, but ... its another m+ design... just orb barrage being another aoe cleave and rng reliant... soemtimes u get 10 orbs in a row, sometimes u don't its a bit stupid.... what happened to the core "burst macro, touch of the magi, ST nuke" why can't arcane mage havea reliable ST dmg.... spellslinger relies on A clearcazsting proc B consuming clearcasting proc C gaining nether precision and consuming it (from consuming clearcasting) consuming nether precision = having to hard cast 2 arcane blasts.... this all sounds pve to me... u r literally fforced into rotations, and the aoe cleave builds is just pve rng procs that will mostlikely either nuke enemies or backfire by breaking ccs (same as the icelance talent u talked about with raiku and xaryu on X recently...) its overperforming now, what happens when they nerf the dmg, which historically happens every damn expansion ...

[@Eliteninja007]

It’s crazy how shitty pvp looks in tww. Who decided to add more def cd to classes. Fights feels like almost eternity.

lmao. Link your socials, lets review your life haha

[@nickolasroper3237]

Yet you’re watching his videos… hmmm. His “skills” pay his bills so he doesn’t have to work a “job”. He found a passion he loves that he’s become really good at and has made a life of it. You could easily do the same if you wanted. What do you do? Rocket surgery? I’m an ER/ICU nurse and I love wow in my off time, and I’m 42, married with 4 kids and my wife does love me. Get at me bro. The point I’m trying to make is, everyone is different, everyone has opportunity for the most part. If he wanted to move on and do something else, I’m sure he’d be successful as would you. I used to have the same opinion you have in the past. I matured and realized it was only because I was jealous of his position in life and that I wanted to be in his shoes.

[@aliaksandrb4756]

Don’t lie. Mage is not fun unfortunately
