WoW Legion Alpha: Arcane Mage - A Massive Tweak

[@xCroowz]

Mage Hype ! Waiting for frost .-.

[@asterisyup626]

The arcane dream is back boys! #thelaw

[@skylinegta5161]

+Keyadist Pogchamp

[@DrPluton]

+Keyadist It went away? I'm still enjoying Arcane on live.

[@Jbayz]

+Tender Spots and prophecy of fear

[@OldChannelNoSee]

Rune of Power changed so much. Before it was two charges and lasted for 3 minutes with no cooldown. Now it lasts 10 seconds and a 45 second recharge on it's two charges. So it's a CD for increased power instead of required placement to stand in for the entire fight.

[@liangdar9675]

+APJ1986 Seems even worse to use now. At least I don't play mage anymore as my main - RoP looks incredibly strong now.

[@OldChannelNoSee]

liang dar Right now, to play Arcane, RoP is almost a must. The new RoP is more of a boost than mandatory spot you must stand. Incantor's Flow almost seems to be the best for talents in alpha right now.

[@jakubpelikan2393]

+APJ1986 i am not picking that **** talent even if it would give me 515151% dmg boost. It is boring as ***.

[@liangdar9675]

APJ1986 RoP hasn't been a must for Arcane mages since 5.4. You can just be fine with IF. The new RoP fits the bursty nature of Arcane Mage very well. Of course it's still alpha but right now it looks like I would definitely go for RoP, although i hate it with a passion.

[@OldChannelNoSee]

liang dar You will see a difference with RoP to IF with a high ilvl. Or at least I can see a difference. I hate RoP though and will likely ditch it come Legion. The requirement to manage a rune that lasts only 10 seconds with two charges and 45 second CD sounds like a lot of TMW and tracking. I couldn't be bothered with that. So IF will likely be better.

[@vladimirseven777]

In PvP no one will let you stand and cast your spells.

[@khalduras784]

in legion,you will have pvp focused talents :/

[@Mochachocakon]

you'd be suprised what a good Arcane mage can do in pvp

[@stinger15au]

+Vladimir Olegovich can you imagine how annoying its going to be trying to catch a mage blinking around like on cocaine

[@mariosblago94]

+Vladimir Olegovich with the new talents you barely have to cast anything as arcane, similar to MoP arcane where all you had to do was spam Spellsteal/aoe blast/slow and the occasional polymorph. Now you can instant cast 3 AB in a row with PoM for some serious hurt.

[@majormarketing6552]

+stinger15au not really, just wait until it ends and deathgrip

[@DirtCheapFU]

that noise at 3:35... me and my cat thought we were getting beamed up for a second. edit: The mastery thing where it procs you gain mana, and after it fades you gain mana. The new mastery mechanic is double dipping from all interactions with the mastery rating. It's not properly implemented to NOT reward you for losing Mastery effect from mastery trinket proc. It's also not properly implemented of which of the two to reward, and which of two to not reward. All its currently reading is interaction with mastery effect, so it responds is to reward.

[@CJBoehlert]

+BellularGaming The reason is your mastery proc trinket was seemingly giving you mana 2wice was actually because of the mechanic behind the Gladiator's Emblem trinkets. Essentially its granting you the mana plus the bigger mana pool and when the the buff drops you retain the mana however the pool is smaller again.

[@RowanWeir]

When the mastery buff procs you get a bonus to your max, and current, mana, hence the huge bump to your pool. The reason it seems to go up again when it leaves is that while the maximum mana returns to normal, your current mana doesnt change; leaving you with a higher total percentage than before.

[@Chakafuyo21]

I wish Blizz changes the arcane missiles animation for something cooler, not the same as always.

[@SuperYtc1]

I quite like the animation, you get this sense of real power.

[@kershaw1450]

ya looks kind of simple and boring

[@bossbaby5936]

+Adoring Fan m3m3

[@austinjohnston7009]

How about an animation at all for arcane blast for piss sakes. I hated arcane just for that boring ass ability!!!

[@potentiallyRealWarrenGraham]

Oh god ... PoM + Charged Up + 3 Ice Floes. Thats 7 Arcane Blasts you can do on the move. My god the burst. I want to do Arcane PVP now. If its in any way like Wrath Arcane pvp, I'm sold.

[@Kipofifthsense]

I think that the talents seem really well rounded and they seem to offer alot of variety in playstyle aswell, with talents seemingly for most situations. If it stays like this, and if the raiding model is somewhat the same in Legion as it is on live, I think an experienced player who really understands playing an Arcane Mage to the fullest and being aware of their surroundings and such will be able to pull off some pretty incredible things! About the Ice Floes thing, I just have a keybind for it on my side mouse button since I use my mouse to move my character anyway, which when you think about it is what you'll be doing when doing anything with Ice Floes.. It offers some quick reactions and the potential of some pretty decent use! Looking forward to testing this out when Legion drops, the mana interaction with your rotation and target priorities seems really interesting to me.

[@TheCoDzillaPlayer]

In the datamined earliest builds of this there was a minor trait where your mana pool was icreased by 300%. Yeah, think about that for a second or two with quickening.

[@KUStuctEng]

Quickening will be nerphed into the ground. Watching some of the testing of it I noticed that it is possible to hold 100 stacks of quickening with enough mastery. The output of the burn phase teamed with sustained dps of Nether Tempest under the effects of 200% haste is ridiculous. I watched Finalboss get 19 casts of AB and 5 casts of AM in 1 arcane power CD (15 sec). Once AP was off CD he just spaced out casts of AB, use NT to fish for AM procs until next AP. I can't imagine what the dps of the burn phase would look like. The mobility it gives, with nearly insta cast AB's , it just takes a huge amount of micro managing your stacks during the conserve phase . Will be interesting to see how it develops.

[@kawainessa]

nice timing i was actually literally just trying out the arcane spec on my mage

[@GERRaze]

That's the best change they could ever make. You actually see only 25% of the fight in WoD if you are playing arcane mage. It's 50% looking on your mana bar, 25% looking on your procs, when the boss dies you are waking up and play again.

[@Ashanic]

Why the fuck is every class playing by building up a resource then bursting it out or getting a buff and having to maintain to keep good dps. Seems so stupid now.

[@Xgamerwoo]

+Ashes You want rng?

[@Ashanic]

***** I guess I just like the old WoW..

[@TheRobochicken5494]

wow class homogenization ... google it and watch azmongold

[@TheRobochicken5494]

+TheRobochicken5494 asmongold*

[@blakekuhlman3881]

windwalker monk much?

[@ShadoTboner]

Glad to see dynamic mana on Arcane again. Was a nice perk back in Cata before Blizz homogenized mana.

[@989896123]

I enjoy your videos so much. So much hype for legion, and thanks for keeping me up to date with all the spec overviews! :D

[@badboy7901]

I'm really enjoying these new Mage changes. Fire is my main spec but I also pvp as arcane. Quickening will be hard to control in pvp due to kites but against bosses in raids, it's a pretty good talent. Arcane orb I used right is OP

[@uncleflansy5621]

That HD bunny is the real star of this video.

[@FlammableAirFreshener]

Been Playing arcane for a while, and I can say for sure the master is indeed going to make for stronger, more simple gameplay, However - Touch of the Magi, is something I really don't want to see, it's more or less just a single target PoF trinket, something that did alot of damage, but turned DPS into an RNG situation, the only positive to it being baked in is it allows set bonuses to increase it (if sets will effect our artefact weapons at all.) It would also be nice to see an additional effect for Mark of Aluneth where it sticks to the target (if that would be too OP in PVP they could just make it to non player targets, or targets that are immune to slow effects ie. every boss ever. One thing I like about Mark of Aluneth is it's a baked in damage over time effect that we have been missing from core gameplay in WoD - We've had the choice to pick Nether Tempest, but if it comes down to that type of situation you're better off just switching to fire, or frost. Changing erosion from a 60 second cooldown eases my fears for the direction of the class significantly (the date I post this talent calculators on mmo-champ still show it as a cooldown) Rune of Power, I still want to see it gone - but the same goes for Incanter's Flow, Even with Rune of Power now being a timed cooldown it's not really opening up skill caps but making it so you use one with arcane power, then one without while incaters flow still remains a cycle based mechanic where you're trying to throw off a bigger spell in between the 5-5 procs (If you don't know what I mean by that Breaktheice has a good diagram in his frost mage guide on Altered-Time) Mirror Images will most likely still not interact with arcane abilities making it redundant for any arcane mage to use, or even have the choice to pick. The way it feels right now on paper at least is that Mark of Aluneth is a re imagined Prismatic Crystal, and Touch of the Magi is Prophesy of Fear (trinket) 2.0 if they can at least get rid of the Touch of the Magi RNG crap the spec should play really strong in both Single Target, and Cleave situations. (Although it would be nice to see how Arcane Rebound works, if it can bounce between 2 targets up to 5 times we should have some fantastic damage going on in cleave fights.)

[@TimothyWitt]

I'm glad to see Quickening played out, that seems really fun, especially with your mana regeneration being affected by haste which is in turn affected by Quickening and TW...what a fun loop that also plays into that speed up casts per charge BC playstyle. I love not having to weave Blast and Missiles to hover around 93% anymore. Just burn/conserve now, which is way more fun I think, especially when you can amp the shit out of your burn.

[@Konuvis]

+Timothy Witt Check out FinalBoss's twitch, he palyed with it and maintained a 100 stack for a little while, it was insane.

[@billfan7528]

I can already see what late xpansion dungeon runs are gonna be like: Quickening + IF, double arcane power time length glyph, mastery trinket -> 1.Pop cooldowns and spam arcane blast 2.Evocate 3.Spam arcane blasts 4.Get 80% dps 5. ??? 6. Profit

[@RodneyDennis89]

As an arcane mage main, I love this so much!!! The look, the feel, blizz thank you! This is how I wanna play a mage, throwing everything I've got in a mystical frenzy. lol Lot's of arcane hate over the years so I'm really happy with these changes. Honestly the current mastery is just more tedious than anything else, not fun. Good work Blizz, Thanks BellularGaming!! Love your videos!

[@saranghae1saranghae]

Okay, maybe I'm way behind on the news, but the character actually holds his staff while casting! THIS IS EXCITING, and awesome! One of my biggest pet peeves about casters is the fact that casters in this game have "magnetic backs," and never utilize their weapons in the way that melee characters do. It's the main reason that I play melee exclusively. Now, I'm pretty hyped to play my mage again. Woo-hoo!

[@Valterius87]

+Sarang Saranghae You can do it now, enable autoattack on your target. It's been like this for years. I think it looks stupid to have the staff wobble around in the air. I do agree that casters should have their weapons implemented into their casting animations though as an option.

[@saranghae1saranghae]

+Pharoc No. In the current patch, if you enable your autoattack, the animation ends after one cast. Also, in the video at 16:44 , there is a new animation that uses the staff not yet in game.

[@bubblisimo]

The best example of Arcane gameplay in Legion is at 17:54.

[@kennethglenn3613]

Very informative. I like your style of breakdowns and I wish more followed your example.

[@bossbaby5936]

No he is not smart

[@ertrilpitcher95]

Lol do where are my whovians at when he said shimmer and in there heads they saw David Tennant pointing the sonic at the dude and says "shimmmmer"

[@ertrilpitcher95]

So*

[@Katorul]

Currently maining Arcane mage, curious to see if it will be better using the artifact passive (the chance to send out a burst of damage every time you gain a charge) all the time by clearing stacks a lot more frequently with barrage to get lots of smaller ones out or if you should try and maintain charges for as long as possible to get larger bursts out. If it's the former I don't see the playstyle changing much at all, but the latter will require a lot of luck with arcane missiles procs putting your damage out of your hands a bit more. Also curious to see if there would be ways to increase your burn phase with the use of things like mana-tide totem or innervate at the cost of the healers mana. The Overpowered talent in the end row seems very clunky to me with this mastery. Too many missiles procs and you will keep burning and eventually run out of mana while you still have the arcane power buff (which seems like it will be fine once our evocation can do damage, but I'm looking at earlier builds), or too few missiles procs and you're not getting enough out of the talent. Much like live, very RNG focused still, but with the removal of prismatic crystal I'm worried about the potential damage output of this class.

[@TimothyWitt]

ARGH the Rune of Power changed though! You used to cast it and have to stand in it at all times. They shortened it's duration to 10 seconds, so you just blow it and hit hard for 10 seconds instead of having to stand in it the whole fight for a percentage damage buff. It's so much better than it was.

[@Luxer1996]

Finally, my main spec is here! :D

[@WarMomPT]

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but is the way your charges are displayed (below your HP and mana) the new default as of Legion, or is that an addon you're using? Because good grief, that looks so more readable than the current default 'buff' we have now.

[@Wrendy2k7]

+PoliteTimesplitter He isn't using any addons I don't think as it's alpha so addon's mostly wont or shouldn't work.

[@ianfacerollsyou]

+PoliteTimesplitter Yes that is updated healthframe/powerbar for Legion. You can toggle it on and off as you wish.

[@WarMomPT]

Ian Thornburg That's awesome. So much easier to check my charges than the singular buff icon.

[@Wrendy2k7]

+PoliteTimesplitter Yeah I like all the overhaul changes they are making to the game. Should be fun to play once Legion is released.

[@Zaes223]

+PoliteTimesplitter It's blizzard taking a popular addon everyone used already and putting into the interface

[@ThePeachNehi]

looks cool. been maining Arcane for a long time now. glad to see some utility. maybe PvP won't be so painful now

[@arainbowinthedark2]

Thank You Bell, Some questions do remain... Did they fix Mirror Images to benefit from Mastery (or with the new mastery do something to make them beneficial to Arcane) since in WoD they did not let them rendering them useless to Arcane. Looks like we loose a charge on Supernova but with the bouncing talent on Barrage you might be able to proc more with add fights and/or trash. Arcane Orb is still a disappointment to me, i would much like it to pulse Arc Explosion than generate charges to help with aoe damage. Why did they keep overpowered, i have yet to see an Arc mage use it this expac well alone Legion. It will be nice to have Super Nova and Nether Tempest together, combined with the bouncing Barrage and the prism will make nice aoe that Arc Expl will not be needed for such things anymore, ya no more melee range aoe. Guess we'll see if they change anything else. Oh and some new graphics for the spells would be nice too. (Sorry for the length, been waiting a while for this.)

[@MalavonDespana]

Nice video! Could you please bring up the topic of legendary items in legion and the recent statement of Blizzard about them? I would love to hear your opinion. Thank you!

[@rushfor2112]

I've mained frost since Cata, but man does Arcane look incredibly fun! Let's just see if Frost will be nearly as interesting.

[@chezwickcheese139]

Mages imo look the most fleshed out thus far. Looking forward to beta

[@miker6570]

It looks like arcane didn't change all too much. Arcane charges are now a resource, nice. And a mastery tweak, also nice. But overall it looks like it is still MOP and WOD arcane rotation. I would like to see arcane get a revamp of sorts to update the rotation some. I realize if it isn't broke why fix it. But it would be nice to change things up a bit for a change of pace.

[@Afentagen]

Was that noise at 3:35 in-game? Wonder if it's a notification for when you're capping a resource in Legion.

[@Wonkanator2]

they should revamp the blink effects. they could make it so much cooler

[@BurakkuHishou]

For me arcane has always seemed boring, because it really didn't have it's own flavor, it was just pound away with 2-3 spells and you win. I do have an idea for how i would change arcane mage to give it it's own identity (apart from fire minus the dots) but i would have to flesh it out. I am working to get my art up to the point where i could work at blizzard and maybe pop the idea there. Who knows, it could happen.

[@marcusrodriguez6729]

i think the fact that we wont have too micro manage mana above 90% is cool. but now it seems its like a lot more buffs you have too maintain. Obv the current gear from HFC has little minions that spawn from arcane missiles and thats 3 little buffs we have too watch out for. just watching ur buffs and debuffs on the training dummy seemed like almost dbl that with some of the useful talents. i cant say its bad. just interesting on the buff uptimes and too micro manage buffs instead of mana now lol. great vid btw, been waiting for arcane mage for a while too come out. :D

[@VincentHarrydragonphire]

This isn't really that different play style wise. Yes the mastery is different but you already play with a conservation to burn phase. You just don't stop at 50% mana. These burn phases are timed with your evocation cool down.

[@wearloga]

Though I'm not really a mage player, this looks like something I could enjoy.

[@Lord_Leland]

A spec that realistically actually uses mana as a resource? That's an improvement right there, so rare today. Seems better :D

[@SongAndSilence]

Any idea if the "improved" skills that you got leveling through Draenor will stay or not? No one has talked about them so far.

[@PvPaddict007]

srsly, the arcane familiar is just a pink geode from deepholm. such a huge disapointment

[@Ziosove]

"It's what we've seen in wod but it has got a different mastery and it plays out differently with the mana bar". Basically, it's another class.

[@savagedialects]

how do you get the nameplates at the bottom of ur character? also, great video. my main is an arcane mage

[@LoserZalbo]

Not opposed to the changes per say, but I do worry the simplification will make it boring. And Arcane mage has pretty much always been about timing your burst for vulnerability phases.. well at least since TBC anyway.

[@crabsupreme]

are there any plans to update the spells for arcane and frost? because atm it looks fire got all the love.

[@hamsamahamadali5291]

Hi bellular, can you make a video that shows the animations of the abilities of all the artifact weapons i think that blizzard implemented some cool animations. Keep up with the good vids!👍

[@brk1988]

I hope that the animation for mages between casts is just a placeholder for now. Looks like the mage is going to try and throw a punch whenever in combat and not casting.

[@joeyg1220]

I've mained an arcane mage since BC, and I approve (but seriously, can they get rid of rune of power?)

[@That_River]

This reminds me of Black Mage from FFXIV, empty your mana doing massive burst dmg, then regen your mana quickly before doing it all over again.

[@andrejcibula7702]

Hey Bellular. Listen I need help. I bought wow: wod as a disc with big box. When I searched the box I only found a hearthstone code. You said in one of your videos that you get a code for lvl 90 boost. So can you help me how to claim it?

[@Leosanity]

Is the casting animation at 17:00 a bug? He took out His staff whole casting arcane blast

[@AWizardWithJam]

arcane looks a lot better than it was in wod thats for sure. looks a lot more fun.

[@BalefireBombshell]

I see Blizz has decided to say "fuck it" and roll with damage and heals in the millions now.

[@ariex0a]

To me it looks like it's gonna take out the only interesting part about arcane which was deciding whether mana or arcane charges was more valuable at your current mana and charge levels

[@Voault]

Are the health and mana bars and arcane charge tracker now part of the Blizz Ui?

[@silvismoon189]

I am content with these changes, though I do miss managing your mana bar. "Mirror image is now a talent." Now? it's been a talent for a while.

[@silvismoon189]

+Silvis Moon It also seems a bit quicker paced, I like that.

[@ArcoDielhof]

Wow, they just got buffed even more. I immagine blizz thinking: "Let's see what we do with arcane mages... You know their epic burst because of their mastery? Let's give them that burst as sustained DPS and make the mana-issue game play a bit easier so it goes from strongest and easiest specc to even stronger and even easier!!" (Thanx for the vid though

[@Melchizadeckk]

Bell is there a Frost Mage video coming up?

[@Brewnelley]

just thinking about how op arcane mages will be when mixed with resto druid's innervate. No mana cost for 10 seconds seems insane for arcane specially when mixed with the 100 talent Quickening

[@lexou8848]

+Zachary Brunelle Innervate only allowed to be cast on healers.

[@Brewnelley]

ahhh bullocks

[@ARABWoWCommunity]

i dont know how it works as PvE but man am i happy about the change in mastery !

[@anssiaurum264]

"33%*3=99%"? Seriously? You do understand that 33% is rounded up from 33,(3)%?

[@bossbaby5936]

what is math

[@LaxinitUp24]

Rounded down*

[@MultiGeorge101]

So Touch of the Magi is like the legendary ring Nithramus?

[@64Peder]

Frost mage? Cant find any video about them!?

[@firegod73]

So basicly nothing has changed for arcane mage.. burn phase and conservation phases have been a part of this class since time began.

[@juligvazquez]

Just a dumb question. Are there any updates on the Legion invasion sites?

[@metalhead2theEnd]

The spec is mostly the same it has been for quite a while. Other than the mana mastery it seems that it plays EXACTLY the same as it did until now.

[@swest3731]

Be right back....stacking thousands of mastery

[@dominikrucka3552]

Ice flows uncomfortable? Come on kid, put it on scroll wheel ( scroll down for me personally) and it will be permanently on cd. Just try it, it's one of the best talents actually, ability to cast on the move means more dps. If we talk raiding of course.

[@theboyzlife273]

Right, because of this video i am going to level an arcane mage for legion! I hate mages as they are in WoD but in legion they look really cool!

[@JoseHernandez-em3rp]

i love arcane, i hope it gets buffed in legion. it sucks seeing players use only frost and fire all the time in pvp

[@imfinlaynilovetofigh]

+Jose Hernandez i love it too. i started playing wow in january 2015. ive played for maybe 8 months total and my only caracter is arcane mage and i dont work or go school so ive played a looooot those months :). always within top 5 in dmg and i really like that most mages use frost or fire in bgs

[@Burn3h]

+Jose Hernandez Arcane is BY FAR the strongest spec on live. Not only for mages, for all classes.

[@JoseHernandez-em3rp]

Burn3h however it has terrible survivability going against other casters and melee. Considering they only have spells in the Arcane school.

[@badboy7901]

+Jose Hernandez demonology is pretty good too. You can literally 1 shot someone with demo bolt. Druids are insane right now in terms of there damage. Lvl 50 hitting 12k starfires.( that's lvl100 damage) like wtf lol. But yes arcane if played right is very OP I play arc and fire in pvp and believe me it's fun

[@JoseHernandez-em3rp]

+archer797 like juking the hell out if fury warriors.....xD that is always very fun...

[@fabiolhotts]

Please tell me what's that addon that you're using that shows health and mana percentage T_T

[@serock3]

They removed prismatic crystal? :/

[@mariosblago94]

Please, use the talents while you are going over them so we can see them in action. The moment you read them, go ahead and use it before reading the next one. We can read the tooltips in wowhead anyways...

[@averygentry35]

whats up with the mastery tweek×

[@chromeshellking]

Arcane I feel/think endgame will become very very big on blowing your mana bar like mad.

[@SuperYtc1]

It's important to know how and when to blow your load.

[@styxzero1675]

So dosent this make arcane even easyer? when u dont have to manage ur manabar?

[@jonthorne5357]

So essentially have they just removed the penalty for going below 90ish % mana?

[@kmarpet120]

+Daniel Thorpe yup. In other words: made the spec simple as hell... just as all other classes.

[@Kelio22]

+Marcus Pettersson Some people will argue that arcane was already simple as fuck, however, I disagree

[@Zasaramel]

+Kelio Goken Arcane at it's core was always relatively simple, not more than Fire though, but it had a much higher skill cap than the other two specs because of all the stacking benefits gained from proper use of talents. You needed really good awareness and reaction times to play Arcane optimally. Especially when you take into consideration the clunky behavior of several trinkets from Hellfire Citadel. First impressions seems to be that it's still relatively simple at it's core, albeit far less punishing for people that mess up due to the mastery changes, but there are several talent combinations that will need flushing out mathematically to determine the optimal way of playing it for each scenario. Which to me is a good thing over all because it provides depth for players who thrive on min/maxing their throughput and closes the gap a bit more for those players who either can't or just choose not to play so precisely in favor of a more enjoyable experience. Obviously this will come down to how well they tune everything, but at least the biggest concerns I can see so far is just lack of aesthetics. Well that and the stupid choice to make ice block a talent, that is pretty fucking irritating.

[@jonthorne5357]

Honestly I think the biggest aesthetic advantage Arcane has had was watching Khadgar's reckfest in the WoD intro quests. Which I guess is a problem considering it's not actually part of the class lol. I also have never minded the skill ceiling with Arcane being so high, since the base level was never quite so punishing, at least not on the same level as Fire has been in recent years. Then again, Fire also has had a lot of random chaos thrown in there that's either hit or miss, depending on how the crits go. But that's the fun of Fire haha. Looking forward to seeing how Legion goes for that spec too as the expansion goes on.

[@anonymousSWE]

The Arcane Explosion picture looks like it's constantly on cooldown. And on another note, I fucking hate the talent tree as it is right now. Back in WotLK it was the shit. Now it's just shit.

[@morfigasoulslayer]

are you out of your mind? so you want like 50 useless talents to get one at the end that is actually good? i like this tree even more now that they actually made it possible to get 4 or 5 playstyles depending on your build

[@cloudfiesta]

+João Almeida actually, yes. This is a RPG, and getting 1 new talent every 15 levels sucks ass. Having the oppurtunity to get something to work towards like a really epic new talent that requires another talent maxed out increases motivation.

[@samebpm3955]

+João Almeida the leveling experience is one of the most important parts of an RPG and the old talent system was far more exciting while leveling.

[@LineageIILegend]

The update looks cool but Im so going to miss Prophecy of fear . Having procs on Prism was better than sex !!

[@Shinylivingdex]

what is that addon showing your hp and charges? Anyone know?

[@evellior]

Can Cauterize prevent fatal fall damage?

[@treshoncharles4271]

how is it not a debuff when it still goes away after not using it?

[@MoltenMuffin]

+Tre'Shon Charles It isn't a nasty looking Icon where your debuffs are. It is no longer a debuff. Like Shadow orbs or Holy Power.

[@sawxll12]

wait is prismatic crystal gone ?

[@PattyOs]

Really disappointed they didnt keep the talent that was the 4 piece in WoD

[@kuterv]

not related to the topic but I do not get why do not they improve character customisation ( more hair styles, faces and some other features ) and character models in the game. Curious to see pvp talents, perhaps you can cast on the move. Also, most of the artifact skills look quite lame ... and should be somewhat epic.

[@Theninja114]

I'm not a huge fan from what I've read, but if the gameplay is fun, it's feeling like this will be too superior in raids. Making the other specs null and void

[@TheMastermind729]

Is arcane barrage worth casting yet?

[@OldManJenkinsSource]

Jesus christ, that Quickening is **nasty**. Maybe it'll be nerfed, maybe not, but this obviously isn't an accident, because you don't design something so ridiculous "on accident". Maybe it's just a stat test and it'll be totally changed when it's out of alpha, who knows. (I hope not though, gatling gun mages holy crap)

[@AkiRa22084]

You should have shown us Presence of Mind even if it has no visual...

[@DrPluton]

+AkiRa22084 I think it's bugged currently. Another KZbinr mentioned that it currently did nothing at all.

[@jj1371]

Is frost available yet??!

[@abigailbuck34]

#thearcanedream thanks blizz! Now give us the shields that Where used in the movie

[@Zalionn]

Love it so far.

[@bizzmith7]

No Glyphs?
