Ah, maybe clear up the myth about Missile Barrage? it flat-out reduces the casting time of Arcane Missiles by 2.5secs, so if you have loads of haste (Like Bloodlust) and you use Missile Barrage, you can get 1.3 sec Arcane Missile channeling, and you still fire 5 missiles in that time. (Machine gun mage, Go go!)

That might just be talent clarification more then anything though.

Another one, Slow costs more mana then a talented Frostbolt, isn't that weird?

Another myth: Glyph of Frostbolt ruins soloing as Frost because it removes the Chill effect. Just start off with a Frostfire Bolt instead. Voila!
Another myth: Slow or Frostbolt is needed to take advantage of Torment The Weak. It now affects targets with combat slows, so let the tanks give you that yummy +12% damage.
Another myth: Putting Amplify Magic on spellcasters makes them do more healing/damage. This is just flat-out bad reading of the spell.

While the tooltip does say that, it goes on to say "and reduces the mana cost of your Arcane spells by 3%."
Testing has shown that the bold part applies to both the chance to hit and the mana cost reduction, meaning both only apply to Arcane spells and are a 3% increase.
This misconception is a product of the poor wording on the talent's tooltip.

i've been rather curious about that myself, but haven't bothered myself enough to actually find out.. lol.. if it was just arcane, and i specced into it, i was gonna be arcane anyway.. if it wasn't, then i wasn't specced into it and it wouldn't make any diff to me. lol

They wont give us that time. All I hear and see is how crappy a player I am for playing arcane. How it takes no skill, how I'm just a style of the month guy.

I don't like playing frost PvE.
I Never cared for Fire PvE.

Fire PvP is suicide.
Frost PvP is ok, but i don't like the play style. I also dislike repecing every day.

I played arcane In BC as soon as I had the gear to support being competitive, and lived with the respec to frost for PvP 2-3 times a week. Though I will admit I was never that good at it, I don't react fast enough to pull off the shatters and what not.

I Like the run-n-gun feel to arcane, and in truth I don't fare that much better than I did as frost. I just have more fun, it just feels much less like a job.

I really feel the nerf sledge hammer coming, they over did the arcane nerf to Arcane blast when they added the Massive mana cost. After a few months they gave us a reason to try and balance that cost, and the day they did it all I heard was How OP arcane was yet again.

Every elitist Frost mage out there crying about Arcane needs a nerf, why hate on people just because you don't do well against them? Why focus on your Arcane brothers who are finally no longer Forced to spec and play Fire, Frost, Or Frostfire?

Finally those Arcane mages out there are free, to play as they have wanted. No longer bound to one spec or the other because they couldn't compete with this spec or that. It seems the minute we become a threat to Frost or Fire's or Frostfire's death grip on a aspect of the game, all we ever hear is the crowd screaming NERF! NERF! NERF!

All I really ask is not to be Forced to play a certain spec just so I wont be laughed out of raids, or fall on my face in PvP. Give us the time, and if it is blatantly Over Powered Take a measure of what needs to be done to fix the imbalance and don't just start advocating that Blizzard start hacking away till we are mere ghosts of what we could have been.

Keep us balanced and Let us enjoy the game as much as the next guy.

"I think they just need to get used to the time of the arcane mage =)"

Wow just realized that massive post was about this simple one line. Dose it count as a rant if i wasn't and still am not angry?

I just meant to sum my feelings on how i belive it will play out. And my perceptions of our current attitudes towards my long time favorite tree. In truth I rolled a Mage due to watching my friends Arc/Fire in play, its why I bought this game. Arcane has bee my favorite tree since before I actually played.

When your strength is stronger than everyone else's, it's the very definition of overpowered.

Why u said that ill never know. U mean overpowered within the class? I could use that to describe rogues that ambush me with 1 hit to 40% of my hp and slowing me in the very same time with crippling poison, Arca mage is just different to, for example frost mage in the role they play, Thats all. OP means " i am more powerfull than any other class and SPEC".Since then arca mages aren't op. You'll still get raped by rogues and well played feral druids. It's just the role u play. Wanna have more chance against melee ( armor ripping ) classes, build frost otherwise roll an arca mage and shock ppl :)

Did anyone say that Mage in pvp felt like job? try playing a priest.. Im a Shadowpriest and all I ever get in pvp is (aspecially from "pure"-dpsclasses like mages, rogues, hunters etc): "HEAL FFS! OMG your a priest FFS, nOOb! HEAL!"

Acctually I think mages need a little boost in the future, but hey.. Im just a priest..
