Comentario de Premier

For all of you pvp mages who are sick of gettin stun locked or ambushed to death by rogues (I for one am), we have a solution.

Rank 1 Arcance explosion is great for unstealthing pesky rogues. Due to the low Mana cost of rank 1, it should be on a actionbar of any mage in pvp.

I have noticed that it is best used when you are standing near a point of interest (No sense in wasting mana in the middle of nowhere)

Happy PvP'ing

Funnily enough, this spell is used in PVP when the mage is outnumbered and being attacked by several melee classes, as it is one of the few instant cast spells. So the mage casts it again and again whilst running around, just to do as much damage as he can before he dies.

Comentario de 8098

Great for AOE training and also good in pvp when there are multiple enemies to damage, with this you can damage them all at the same time!Hooray!

Comentario de 8403

While this may not be a very mana efficient spell, I still find it quite useful in tight situations, such as when in PvE combat your frost nova, fire blast, and cone of cold are all on cooldown and you're about to die and can't take the time to cast another spell. =D Run like heck and spam Arcane Explosion. It hits all targets, even the ones behind you that are chasing to get that last hit in to kill you. Definitely helpful in sticky spots.

Comentario de Sware

With about 300+ spellpower, I do around 500 damage non-crit and upto 1000 crit with Arcane Explosion.

It is very useful due to it's instant cast. When I AoE during PvP, I keep doing it until I get a lot of enemies on me then I Iceblock and wait for them to get off me and then start up again, you can easily take out 3-5 people with this if used correctly

Comentario de Txero33

Highest raw DPS spell in the game. Roughly 225dps with out calculating spell damage or crit percentages. Problem with it is that it is relatively expensive and is caster based leaving the mage in melee range and in the face of death.

the next closest AoE spell for damage is hurricane at 206 dps

Great spell, really handy for taking on groups of mobs. If you use 'Frost Nova' (https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/spell=122) then run back afew steps, then you can spam 'Arcane Explosion'

Abit of a Mana Drainer but i'll forgive it as it's great.

Comentario de Rarehunter

Highest raw spell damage AoE spell in the game. Plus, it can crit. Bad thing is that it intensifies aggro on the mage, so a priest PW:S will come in use when the mage requires healing.

Used by Mage's. It's one of the best AoE spell in the game. Very good in Magisters' Terrace also, when you're about to take the Wyrms before the second boss Vexallus.

Mage's AoE FTW ;>

Comentario de Flameenix

This spell really eats at your mana.

Arcane Explosion, like most aoe's, hits less when you're attacking more targets.

For instance, if I was to Arcane Explosion next to 5 targets in an instance, I'd expect to see a few 800's, and perhaps 1100 crits.

However, if I was somewhere, as mentioned above MgT, or the guests at Karazhan, I'd be seeing hits more like 400, and 600 crits, etc.

The point is, there is some form of "maximum" damage implied by a single cast. Try it yourself, lure half the mobs in RFC and you'll notice a significant damage reduction.

I think what he is referring to is when Blizz nurfed mages back in the day by adding an AOE damage cap. You can best see the cap when you run thru Dead mines and aggro the start to the boat and then AE. You will notice that you hit few for less then 200. I have 1.5K spell dmg. I belive you will deal full damage to all mobs until you have more then 14 then it starts dropping.

Good news is that increased the damage cap to AE by 50%.

Did you know?

In the early days of Vanilla, this spell actually had a 1.5 sec cast time. The great talent that you now know as Spell Impact was then called Improved Arcane Explosion, and you could talent the cast time down to instant.

Just some nostalgic moments here...

Good spell when boosting low lvl instances.

It should also be noted that this spell will NEVER trigger clearcasting, for obvious reasons.

Comentario de kimsey0

At level 83, Arcane Explosion costs 1337 mana to cast :P

Comentario de pacman7654

This no longer reliably stops flag capping in battlegrounds. Cone of Cold and Frost Nova still seem to work.

Comentario de Andygorus

As an arcane mage, how well does this work for AoE damage?

I read my options are either stacking up the Explosión Arcana debuff and casting Deflagración Arcana,
or casting and Ventisca.

I'd like to hear it from experienced mages though.

Comentario de salp

The question if Deflagración Arcana is better or worse then or Ventisca depends purely on your spec and playstyle.
Deflagración Arcana takes you close into the battle, where the other 2 spells allow you to DPS from a distance. Ventisca is channeled, where has a CD.

For arcane spec'd mages running into situations where you need to AoE; take 2 points . You probably will need to spec a little lower survivability, situational DPS increases or CC (for example lowering your points in or ), but it's worth it when dealing with trash.
But 4 stacks of Explosión Arcana, spamming Deflagración Arcana, refreshing Explosión Arcana when needed, yields DPS around think 30k - 40k for my ilvl 360 (non-raiding) mage, compared to figures around 10k - 20k for Ventisca in the same arcane spec and gear.
For added fun, Deflagración Arcana is influenced by things like Poder Arcano and Gema de maná with if you can spare the CD at that point.
In terms of mana usage, I stay at 99% to 100% mana without having any spirit items, etc. just on and Armadura de mago with Glifo de gema de maná (the latter 2 you want anyway due to the current workings of mastery in arcane).

More accurate figure comparison can be calculated using tools like Rawr.
When you're fire spec'd or frost spec'd the story is completely different.

More information on mages, spec's, spell rotations, etc. can be found on alot of places, with ElitistJerks still providing good information based on theorycrafting. The mage spec related threads can be found here.

Had rawr calculate some raw figures for me (having 2 points of and rawr not using cd's) and it came out with the following:
- AESpam: 34922.97 DPS
- AERampAB: 38780.58 DPS
- AE4AB: 45255.25 DPS
- Ventisca: 30232.76 DPS
- spam: 19988.35 DPS

Explanation on rotations used above:
- AESpam: spamming Deflagración Arcana without any Explosión Arcana buffs.
- AERampAB = cast Deflagración Arcana while ramping up Explosión Arcana (e.g. 1x Explosión Arcana, 4x Deflagración Arcana, 1x Explosión Arcana, 4x Deflagración Arcana.... etc. until you reach 4 stacks of Explosión Arcana and refreshing them to keep them up)
- AE4AB = get 4 stacks of Explosión Arcana and refresh them when needed to keep them up, while spamming Deflagración Arcana in the meanwhile.

Notes to take into consideration:
The mana usage and threat generation on Deflagración Arcana is greatly lowered by (7,5% base mana cost) while Ventisca costs 75% of base mana with full threat gain and having to stand still due to having to channel the spell.

In short: Deflagración Arcana is worth it at the moment for AoE ;-)

Comentario de hashey

Can a heroic FL geared mage post how hard this hits with raid buffs?

Comentario de Traynwreck

When aiming is no longer an option.

Comentario de Thottbot

Comentario de Thottbot

And nowwith instant cast andno cooldown solo like 5 mobs

Comentario de Thottbot

This Spell ROX MEH SOX, but the cool down kinda sucks. But since they took its better.

Comentario de Thottbot

i was looking at the ranks and it said that at lvl 62, it would do 1000 dmg average and then i looked at the req lvl 54 and it said only about 250 average, i mean what up with that? im sure all ill do is that after i get to 62 so im not complainin sooooooo.......ausome

Comentario de Thottbot

i thought the lvl cap was 60 and will raise to 70 tommorow or tonight. 1-15-2007 10:10 PM

Comentario de Thottbot

The Arcane explosion that did 1k dmg was not a mage skill. It said 0,5 sec casting time. Might be some kind of boss or powerfull mob thats using it.

Comentario de Thottbot

can i using this on 14 lvl kill alot of Mobs?

Comentario de Thottbot

It can indeed crit. At 14, this is your first AoE killing spell. And it works relativley well

Comentario de Thottbot

Arcane Explosion even got a talent (Arcane Impact) in the Arcane Tree to raise crit chance, it also raise the crit chance for Arcane Blast. The talent (lvl 20) got 3 levels with 2% increase each, meaning you may get a 6% extra chance to crit by placing points in this talent. Here you got a tree with it.

Comentario de Thottbot

The only bad thing about this spell is that people will remember you and kill you on sight (They even ignore flagcarriers and twicks just to kill me) :\

Comentario de Thottbot

One of my RL friends were going to raid IF from Gnomer and a single lvl 70 (Frost) mage came and killed half of their group with this spell!

Comentario de Thottbot

Upon getting it at level 14, Go to the Ironforge Airport and use it once on a huge group of trolls, The Dwarves will kill em and you get up to 50-100XP per kill even loot!

Comentario de Thottbot

i find this most usefull for oncovering stupid rogues who r on their own. spam this every1 sees rogue no more rogue :P

Comentario de Thottbot

How do i get to Ironforge Airport?

Comentario de Thottbot

Make sure to be careful where you use this spell. I made the mistake of using it at the Ruins of Lordearon and was almost killed by the stealthed citizens! A valuable lesson...

Comentario de Thottbot

Im 15 mage now and i CANT train it , i dont know why?
Can someone help me ?

Comentario de Thottbot

I LOVE this spell.....I kick so many rogues,locks, and hunters in the butt because the people in battlegrounds remember me so well that whenever I go into WSG or Arathi Basin then they all run away from me like a flock of chickens. Great when trying to get the flag (WSG) or to the flag (Arathi Basin) alll you do is this spell real quick kill everyone in sight and grab the flag "HOW EASY IS THAT" lol.

Just last week, i was in the battlegrounds and used this spell it scared away so many people all i had to do was run up scare them all away and grab flag and when i got to the flag they just watched me take it and wouldn't come after me till i was well out of sight....

That's a really stupid thing to do i mean think about you just let the opposite faction just come take your flag and not even do anything about it...

I mean c'mon people is this a game or are we all of a sudden in CRAZY TOWN?

You people just HAVE to get this spell when you hit 14 and I mean have to because if you don't....
Then, your just missing out on alot of fun lol. Well thats my story:)

I'm on Blades Edge realm for all you people who want to hang out sometime my toon's name is Vannessa and she is a Female Draenei mage Lvl 12.

Hope to see you all later!

P.S. Good luck to all you mages and remember...

MAGES ARE HARD AT FIRST BUT GET EASIER AND STRONGER WHEN THEY GET HIGHER I GAVE UP ON MY MAGE AT LVL 26 AND I WAS SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR DOING SO DO NOT MISS OUT AND PLAY HARD! :)

Comentario de Thottbot

THIS SPELL IS ONLY GOOD IF YOU HAVE TONS OF MANA. OTHERWISE IT SUCKS

Comentario de Thottbot

sorry for the caps. accident

Comentario de Thottbot

Very useful for areana when you are facing a stealthed class, just used rank 1 to conserve mana and hope it hits them

Comentario de Thottbot

This is the best spell for farming. It costs a truck load of mana though.
