I was wondering if there's something I can do so I don't keep targeted and dying. Thanks much!

Don't pull aggro. And don't stand in fire.

Use Mirror Image.
Use Invisibility.
Use Arcane Barrage.

If you have to move use blink. Its the quickest way to get out of danger and as an arc mage should be one of your best friends. You also have invisibility and mirror image if you pull aggro. If you must move and fight you still have arcane barrage and .....(sigh (eww)) fire blast. Not much damage but its better than nothing.

As for Aoe Arc explosion has been beefed up, however, you still have to be in close range to be able to use it which sucks. Luckily, as shown above, It doesn't produce much threat nor cost much. So as long as you don't have aggro you should be fine.

Oh and don't forget to slow things. Either with nether vortex or by just casting slow. If your at max ranged and can't down something before it gets to u, your likely doing something wrong.

Actually 10 yards is not close at all, its usually the optimal range healers and ranged dps stay (or should stay) at in random dungeon.
This is 10 yards. I got all 3 dummies in AE range.

This is how the arcane tards get their label. If any normal dps pulls agro it changes the target to the one that tank has more lead on. Not arcane tards. They will go to max range and keep spamming at the target they pulled effectivelly disturbing both healers and tanks focus. Worst of all are those who think taunt is enough for them to continue nuking. You pull agro, mob runs to you, i taunt, mob turns to me, you keep dpsing mob turns to you, i have to switch targets again (or mouseover) and taunt off you, mob turns to me, you keep dpsing it, mob turns to you... Healer doesnt know whether to spam heal you, other dps or the tank and usually you freak out and blink into a new group.... gratz you just pissed off someone.

Staying at max range is best way to die (in 5 man) - its extremly easy to run out of range/los of tank/healer this way.

Dude i got a tank. I know how the crap works. I went off topic and wasn't specifically talking about dungeons. However anyone with common sense is watching their threat and switch targets once the threat turns yellow. And plz don't tell me ur using the single taunt in situations like that. And if your that close and do pull aggro, is it enough time to use your invisibility?

that's a pretty heffty assumption. While I agree that an arcane mage should switch targets often(within reason) since the ramp up isn't needed again, I would just advise that method to the OP rather than just assume that the OP is a pompous player who would rather stress his/her team.

It's not difficult Zakkhar. Just analyse the context in which the inappropriate spelling occurs.

Ur mum - your mum.

Ur gay - you're gay.

You're mum - usually your mum. Unless it's 'Who's my mum? You're mum.' There are wider issues than the spelling there though.

Apparently someone has to use an english translator. Tough luck. Stop cheating and learn the langueage.

Now that the thread has been answered, I hardly see a reason for this to go on in the downward spiral it has already started to dive towards.
