You're a mage. Stop whining and go top the DPS meters while being afk.

Everything is balanced around level 90 now - Arcane more so than other Mage specs.

Any comments about how good/bad any spec is at this point is fairly irrelevant in my opinion. We'll see where we are in 3 weeks time :)

Ive noticed the difference now with arcane. I've gone back to fire, it seems to do more damage.

My arcane mage's damage actually went up after the patch,but he's only in 370ish gear.My ret pally lost a huge chunk of dps after the patch,but his i-lvl was 395.I've seen other posts from ret's that said their damage went up after the patch.
So I was wondering if the changes in the patch adversely affected the higher end gear more than the lower end gear

Do you think it's ok that mana was a non-issue for Arcane?

When semi-geared and doing Heroic DS, it took me forever to try and get my mana to 40%. I would be literally spamming AB with little to no consequences to my mana bar, and I think that's what Blizz wants to avoid. Giving a mana cap meant that Arcane mages ALWAYS had to keep their mana bar in mind.

As an aside ... punctuations would do a lot to help get your points across.

From what I can understand:

1. Your best dps was when you were in Conserve phase
Arcane works when it has 2 phases, burn and conserve. Not sure how your dps is best when it stays in conserve phase.

2. Arcane is limited by the amount of mana it has?
Well, yes. The point I was trying to raise that by the last tier, your mana and regen got the the point where mana almost didn't matter.

Generally, you'd spend 20/80 ratio burning/conserving. At the end though, you'd spend around 50/50 burning to conserve. Mana didn't really go down fast enough for burning to be a hard choice.
