    Arcane dps rotation/stats question.

    Item level 900 still gearing my mage up.

    Is it normal to have to barrage every 2-3 arcane charges outside of the burn phase, and if not why is mastery bad? It seems like it would help with me getting to 4 stacks more often.

    If you go to 4 charges in conservation phase, you will not have enough mana when the burn phase comes. Mastery is bad because it does not give enough damage when compare to others stats.

    Masery: Good until a certain point after that it drops of significantly. Usually it is so low that you're going to get it naturally and not really something to aim for. In my double ring setup simc tells me to get arround 4-5k, which I passively get through legendary/set item itemization.
    Haste: Increases mana consumption, doesn't increase mana regeneration. If you're struggling with mana try reducing your haste.
    Crit/Vers: Both just passive dps increases with no effect on your rotation/mana management. If your struggling with mana invest here.

    Ok got it. It seems so weird to be dumping charges before 4 lol.
