Arcane Mage Cheat Sheet Arcane Mage Changes in Midnight

虛空精準 has been removed, along with all tie-ins from other talents and effects. This dramatically reshapes how we deal damage, the biggest impact has been that 秘法飛彈 just deals more damage on its own.

秘法和諧 has been renamed 秘法齊射 and is now more thoroughly tied into the spec and hero tree with many other talents and abilities interacting with it to some degree, however. 秘法彈幕 remains the only ability that can consume the effect.

喚醒 no longer grants 虹吸風暴 while channeling, this overall lowers our burst, however 魔導師之觸 has been buffed up to compensate a bit.

秘法節奏 is now just a straight haste buff instead of a maintenance buff.

動能 now just makes 秘法衝擊 gain 2 秘法充能s instead of being a random chance.

光球彈幕 procs based on 秘法齊射 instead of 秘法充能s, this has been one of the more impactful feeling changes as it feels like you can't really benefit much from this talent anymore.

Many talents were removed that were mostly passive. Of note in this category, 魔導師火花, 能量重組, and 飲脈者 all had cool animations and will be missed.

Among the talents that were added to compensate the above removals, 過載飛彈 and 光球精通 are very cool.

直覺 reworked completely, no longer restores 秘法充能s.

How Splinters deal damage was reworked and the ability for 秘法裂片 to embed themselves into targets for damage over time was removed. Instead, splinters do their entire damage up front and have a chance to spawn a bunch more splinters in the same manner as before.

Multiple tie-ins with 秘法齊射 that trigger on consuming stacks or help generate stacks. 意志之力 does something now, woo!

光榮白熾 reworked completely, no longer restores 秘法充能s.

Overall, Sunfury changed significantly, with less damage embedded in your own spells and more damage tied to 隕星 generation.

More damage is tied to random procs as opposed to the cyclical proc nature of 魔焰球體, which has been reworked from generating every 6th cast of 秘法衝擊 or 秘法彈幕 to having a chance to proc from many abilities.

愈挫愈勇 was reworked to actually be very strong for us, 8 seconds of a persistent barrier effect, on top of the low cooldown of 稜彩屏障, means a significant amount of our time will be covered by the defensive effect. Sunfury is going to be a powerhouse defensively for Arcane, and thats without even looking at 時間扭曲 as the choice for this, which is also very strong.

The damage reduction effect was removed from 鏡像 and 強效隱形, these spells are now just a threat tool and invisibility spell. Mirror now has a talent to reduce its cooldown, so you can have it up for every burst window and, likewise, Greater Invis still has a nerfed version of it's sprint option.

法能移轉 was removed, effectively making our cooldown cadence locked in at 90 seconds apart.

浮冰 was removed, leaving no alternative to 閃爍, so you'll only ever not play Shimmer when you need the stun/root break from 閃現術.

群體屏障 was removed, probably one of the most fun defensives we have ever had, RIP.

Several cool passives were removed and replaced with really poorly designed passives, I cannot emphasize enough how bad our class tree was made during the alpha/beta of Midnight. 強化解除詛咒 alone is just a giant red flag that they didn't care about what they put into this tree.

There are also a lot more throughput nodes that you will pickup that passively add damage without any effect or impact to your gameplay or aesthetics.

In a minor saving grace, the global cooldown on all Mage barrier spells was reduced from a full GCD to half.

Mana Management: This is something many newer players struggle with, however it is important you remember going out of mana is perfectly fine, especially after your miniburn. Simply use 秘法彈幕 to clear your 秘法充能s which throttles your mana spend and continue with the rotation. Mana problems can be tilting, but we are a cooldown-based spec first and our main cooldowns give us all the mana we need for those windows. Just remember to breathe when you run out of mana; Barrage and move on!

Arcane Charges: 秘法充能s are generated by 秘法衝擊, 魔爆術, 秘法脈衝, 秘法光球, 魔導師之觸, and lastly when talented into 高壓電. The only ways to clear them is 秘法彈幕, 秘法飛彈 with the talent 充能飛彈 or waiting around while out of combat; spending charges with Barrage makes it hit harder and cleave. Arcane Charges increase the mana cost of Blast and Pulse and their damage. This creates a loop where you want to use Barrage to reduce the mana spend at times so you can ensure a successful Miniburn. Take your time and build muscle memory for the relationship your spells have with Arcane Charge generation. In AOE the opposite is often true where you usually want to get 4 Arcane Charges and then Barrage, that said this is weighed against the next resource.

Arcane Salvo: 秘法齊射 is fairly straight-forward, usually using 秘法彈幕 at max stacks or in conjunction with a way to quickly refund Salvo stacks or Arcane Charges. There are a lot of ways that Salvo interacts with each hero talent and our spells and abilities and as such you should definitely spend the time to read those talents and understand the interactions as they will be relevant later on. Remember you can use the search function in the talent system to identify the talents that actually interact with Salvo!

Don't Sit on Cooldowns: 秘法奔騰 gives us a huge refund on mana on top of the damage increase and other effects for the hero talents. This means holding this cooldown essentially tanks other aspects of the rotation, causing us to run out of mana more frequently, Barrage more without Salvo, causing a cascade of failures downstream in our potential damage. Our cooldowns are also short and on a low cooldown. it is almost always better to squeeze in as many as you can over the course of a fight or dungeon. That said, don't be afraid to volunteer to hold cooldowns for a specific problem in an encounter, as one of the strengths of short cooldowns is to provide targeted damage when you need it most without losing many uses. But as I said above with regards to mana management, your cooldowns are what give you mana to play with and also make that mana worth more, make sure you're using them as much as possible to fuel the arcane engine!

Damage & Performance: Currently, 熊貓人, 食人妖, 獸人, 機械地精, and 虛無精靈 are all respectable options with varied options and its not a huge gap to many others. The big thing is that you avoid the following; 狐狸人, 光鑄德萊尼, 不死族, and 土靈.

Mythic+ & Utility: 矮人 or 夜精靈 are the best options here, as they both have utility that allow you to negate some Mythic+ challenges. Dwarf giving poison cleanse and Night Elf allowing you to 影遁 to dodge projectiles and break enemy casts.

I do not see Dark Iron Dwarves listed for mages in this posting. In fact I do not even see regular Dwarves listed. It appears who ever is writing these "guides" has overlooked them.

I created my DID about 4 mos ago and have been leveling her casually. Last week I reached lvl 64 now I have decided to concentrate on her more, but its rather disheartening to see other races discussed and DIDs not even mentioned.

Why is there no blood elf in the Patchwerk SimC build?

While this guide is a good resource, I would not recommend joining any of the mage community discords for anything but links to other guide information.
The community tends to be unfriendly, unhelpful or--worse still--purposely obtuse towards players they deem unworthy.
All in all, it's far from welcoming and the community managers suffer from a lack of good leadership skills and a preponderance of self-importance.
Information-sharing communities should be a safe space for new players and questions to be worthy of the name, and these groups fall well short of that mark.

The fact that on raid, raid/cleave and delves/open world (literally almost all of the trees) spec points they chose Cryo-Freeze, which makes your Ice Block heal you, while simultaneously choosing Ice Cold, which replaces Ice Block...maybe it's worth making some personal adjustments on this one.

Personally I switched that 1 or 2 points on Cryo-Freeze to Diverted Energy (on the right side of the tree about the same height), which will have some of the same effects but for spells you still actually have.

Are the Spec talents visible? Mine does not show after 3 levels down

評論來自 Magishan

Is anyone else seeing arcane explosion sitting in the fire spec tree? WTH?

評論來自 Aquatection

In the removed section it doesn't list 法能移轉 but as far as I can tell it is gone right? I can't find it anywhere. (on a side note I'll miss ice floes and without Siphon Storm Evocation seems questionable at best).
