[@Tr3nix]

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

[@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

[@leequesada439]

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

[@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.

[@psionic_reverie]

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

[@AleksCooks]

for pvp nightelf

[@Iza92i]

Arcane is also my favourite spec but just on Cvark

[@Foretelling]

I’m so glad Arcane has found its stride over the last few expansions. It’s been my favourite spec for a long time.

[@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!

[@semi6544]

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

[@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 🤭

[@camsmyth101]

I love that it’s has a lot of movement

[@JohnnyFiction]

MM Hunter has wind arrows and withering fire that mechanically work similarly, but look so so sad. Why couldn't they get something like this?

[@Nhouyengah]

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

[@DarkConjurer34]

Does arcane seem a bit easier to play?

[@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.

[@douglaswhalen7065]

jesus, I'm so excited to try this

[@mrt5723]

This spec is dangerousl. Because it makes me asleep whille watching. Maybe its better to play, but me as firre mage hopes i can shine as the SunFury Mage, with the Phoeenix.

[@xxgamerxx6074]

im curious if you tried the new mage stun

[@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.

[@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.

[@Mars_010]

Yo venruki, still any fun/good in beta atm?

[@Zazash_91]

b'rage b'rage b'rage b'rage b'rage b'rage

[@Treasonable]

looks like virtuoso from GW2

[@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.

[@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.

[@joelhodoborgas]

@@ristuksenvittu maybe some of them are popular because they are good/fun. Not sure how you can compare the music industry to wow classes tho weird take

[@DJLURKER]

Fire is weak, sorry, bud

[@AlxndrXX]

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

[@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.

[@jackman1593]

Wow u can move while casting now?

[@BrotherOats]

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

[@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.

[@tomothered]

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

[@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 :(

[@mada9891]

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

[@ArctisTheMonk]

1B dps? this expansion will be insane?

[@chc2650]

Visually this looks like a hit

[@salihkizildag]

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

[@aroshley4348]

17 changes for arcane, yep

[@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.

[@ferransantamaria374]

Toxic

[@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.

[@Azra3lzGaming]

what is the best race to play as arcane mage first time playing as a mage in an expansion

[@veselt6709]

Just pick which one looks the best for you

[@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

[@JayKay-do1jv]

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

[@AleksCooks]

in theory yes, but you are not guaranteed to get the surge cast off, which could result in wasting the magi

[@travisshannon9040]

Needler from halo lol. Welp I found my spec.

[@vaels5682]

They’re nerfing all of this.

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

[@AbrahamLincoln_]

FUN

[@RoguemaniaOfficial]

why are you in stormshield ? haha

[@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.

[@noonesp3cial]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@unbekannt2898]

If you don't have any new ideas, just use the classes from Diablo 3 in wow

[@heatmuscle9343]

Do Canadians spell favorite that way?

[@rasmuserlandsson2204]

i hope you're trolling right now

[@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

[@Fen3rbahce]

Df 2.0

[@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.

[@safwenbenabdessalem4519]

Omg it's about to be so much worse like wtf is that aoe dmg simulator

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

[@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.
