A bug myself and other mages took advantage of in WotLK was to equip 2-pc Trial of the Crusader tier + anything we had to pump our spirit as high as possible and then cast Molten Armor before putting our normal gear back on. The bug was that we would still retain the additional spirit scaling on Molten Armor which made for some very high crit values.

The weirdest thing is going to be the fact that we start with the final Wrath patch. The amount of class changes in each patch throughout Wrath were extensive. ...It's gonna be EXCITING!

Arcane Blast debuff increases the mana cost way more in wotlk than in tbc, which means you cannot spam AB and you will be forced to use arcane missiles unless the fight is super short. The t8 2-set has a 45 second internal cooldown. So even with high proc chance it will not be up all the time. Great video tho!

I was always a mage main and one of the most memorable experiences i had was during the early days of wrath of the lich king. I was running Halls of Stone back when heroic content was still challenging. In the Brann Bronzebeard fight, we were on the verge of wiping, but my kiting ability with frost nova and last second ice block (I was playing frost) managed to stall out the timer long enough for the fight to be a win. Other things that helped was ice barrier to mitigate the passive damage, as well as being a draenei with my racial heal. That very same dungeon run, we were on the final boss and again were on the verge of wiping, but once again kiting with blink, an early ice block caused a drop in threat, and stalling out the timer for Brann to release the stone dwarves caused us to win the fight again with me being hte sole survivor. I had never received as much praise from a group as i did that day.

One of the most fun mage pvp spec is PomPyro. You take Presence of Mind instead of living bomb. This spec is heavy rng based because you need one hotstreak so you can cast pyro + instant second pyro as follow up. This spec is fun at the begining of the wotlk even tho crit chance is lower, because later everyone gonna have a lot of resillience that is reducing crit effects. Double pyro crit can be suprising for the enemy and it is really fun to play. :D

Fire mage is only good because it does the most dmg out of all rdps in wotlk. Also its the easiest one to play.

Still better than arcane. That is for sure.

Does arcane power and presence of mind share an internal 15s cooldown with each other? I remember when they added that in I think 3.1 and that was actually why I quit wow forever b/c I had been an arcane mage main for a long time. I thought that was a really unneeded nerf and just killed a lot of niche and cool specs and an old staple of mage play (arcane power + PoM + Pyro). I will probably play shaman this time if they keep that internal cooldown.

You can spec into it earlier than you could do with TormentTheWeak(TTW) but TTW will outscale FFB. TTW also has focus Magic wich FFB lacks. So yeah, basically at every point Arcane or TTW Fire is better, however, only ever so slightly that ure never doing your group a misservice. Its 100% Viable, but never actually optimal.

The fun in arcane is being on top of the dmg meter. With T7 gear or early Ulduar you might give FFB a shot. The dmg will be behind arcane again, however if you have firelocks in your raid u might actually do more raid dmg. with T10 u can go TTW or stay with arcane. Arcane is actually so easy and consitent it might be the best dmg wise up until t10 hc. My advise, try them all out, i like them all, i personally prefer arcane into FFB tho
