One major goal of blizzard is to kill in 5.2 the 6 stack camping with scorch, I believe the pure haste arcane build relies on scorch camping so will mastery be the optimal prioritization?
Hi, I've got question. Is it better to pop AM when 100% or fill them in to regain mana from 90-100%? Couse when Im reading previous posts I coulnd have found the answer to my question
Only AB if you don't have any/buffs that are up.
Like... if you're "forced" to invoke, and you have some ICDs up.. then AM at 100% mana.. if they are down, then you fish for a buff + missile proc.
Missiles is just that good at full mana.
Most of the time, even if I only have 1 proc of missile.. I will use it! (depending on the buffs that are up, ofcourse!)
And before anybody asks.. yes,,stormlash procs off each individual missile.
Hi there, can anyone give me some insight in how to play arcane mage with invocation? I just can't play with rune of power with so many movement in the current raid bosses.
Here's my armory link (still mostly blues) http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Amerys/simple
I reforged to the hit cap, 3056 haste and then all mastery (if i should change anything please do tell me).
We talked a little bit about it there : http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...arcane-clarity
You don't have to use scorch at all with the invo/haste build, people began to test this because of the incoming scorch nerf ).
Hey, common lurker and a lot of the information here has been helpful I've only had my mage for 3 weeks but already on top
Anyway, I kind of have a lingering question:
When building up charges, if I end up getting 2 AM procs on the 2nd or 3rd charge or what you will, is it best to use at least 1 AM? Or just sit on them at 2 until 6 charges and then go on with AT and reg rotation?
I had a few others, but they slip my mind right now, I'll ask when I remember
Thanks ^^
I've kinda hit a wall regarding gemming/reforging, so I'm hoping for some help:

What would you change? I was going for a Haste build with ABx6, scorch until AM. Is this wrong? And what about my gemming/reforging?
Your rotation is wrong, not your gemming (although you could use a tad more hit). If you're using RoP, ABx6 and then alternate AB with scorch and missiles to stay at around 85/90% mana. Try invocation, it's much more forgiving. For invocation, burn through mana with AB, using missiles on proc. Evocate at 30% mana or if you need to refresh Invoker's buff.
I've also been using the haste/invo build but a tad differently. When around ~77% mana, I tap evocation for 1 tick of the mana back in case Invoker's Energy buff is not running out just yet ( still >15s left ). I'm trying to not use full evocations unless my invo buff runs out. Usually I have to do it 1-2 times before going down on mana for a full evocation depending on AP use, mana gem and AM procs.
