think arcane mage rota is wrong or not working well for me.
He should use this correct priority list (
Arcane Mage DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities (WoW MoP 5.4) - Icy Veins). The noxxic Priority List is incomplete without t16 gear!
1. Apply Living Bomb or Nether Tempest.
- When you have a large damage-increasing proc (trinkets, weapon enchants, etc.), you can refresh your bomb a few seconds before it expires, otherwise refresh it after it explodes.
2. Cast Arcane Missiles when you have 4 (and only 4!) stacks of Arcane Charge Icon Arcane Charge.
3. Cast Arcane Barrage when all the following conditions are met:
- you have 4 stacks of Arcane Charge;
- you have no proc of Arcane Missiles;
- you have less than 2 stacks of Profound Magic (only applicable if you have the Tier 16 2-piece bonus).
4. Cast Arcane Blast
When i got 4 stacks of arcane charge and 2proc of arcane missle, the routine cast 1st arcane missle and after that a arcane blast before cast the 2nd missle. He should use both arcane missle procs and than cast an arcane blast and reset or cast a new arcane missle proc and then reset.
[28/Dec/2013]
- [Arcane] Changes to use Arcane Blast in between Arcane Missile casts when T16 2PC bonus active.
>2 stacks of profound is needed to cast arcane blast between arcane missles. With 1 the mana lost is too high.
*snip*
single target with living bomb and no cooldowns:
my dps: ~260k
portal dps: ~230k
30k dps lost
no target switch
