Has anyone noticed a Huge downfall in damage from our Arcane blasts crits after this first patch after 3.3 today? Its from the 3.3a patch.
I seem to be critting for a lot less damage now with arcane blasts. I can't crit past 15k anymore without cooldowns. I used to be able to crit for 19k without cooldowns. Something is up. There IS a hidden nerf in this patch.

Your lying.
[quote="Tyler"]Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Re: Arcane Blast nerfed!
Did you try speccing arcane? If your still in your frost pvp spec, its not going to be as effective.

Re: Arcane Blast nerfed!
Why would I lie... I used to crit for 19k with Arcane blasts with NO cds or buffs used and now I can't crit past 15k... Obviously something is up... The stack buff you get even shows less damage even after 4 stacks. WE DID GET NERFED! And NO i didn't respecc or do anything. I AM NOT THE ONLY WHO NOTICED THIS. FUCK YOU BLIZZARD

Re: Arcane Blast nerfed!
Assuming you mean they are OP they were already hotfix nerfed once since the patch came out along with Affy Locks. Originally Posted by Pikatrap

As far as I can tell, you ARE the only who has noticed.

Re: Arcane Blast nerfed!
Not sure if it's the same poster but there already is a thread on the wow mage forums regarding this, and it seems to be by the same person.
Just a question to the OP. Did you switch out any gear or upgrade any? Also have you done an extensive test?
record 100 AB with 0 stacks 100 with 1 stack so on and so forth? Or did you crit a few times on different mobs for different numbers?
