How to play Arcane in WoW: Forever: what to press, which stats to chase, the talent build level by level, and the gear and dungeons to aim for.

Обзор

Arcane in Forever is built around Arcane Blast, a new spell that makes your other spells stronger each time you cast it but costs more mana every time. You mix Arcane Blast with Arcane Missiles and use Clearcasting and Missile Barrage procs. Pick it if you like managing a resource and want something new.

Good at

  • New, active play with Arcane Blast
  • Free spells from Arcane Concentration
  • Presence of Mind for an instant spell at 30
  • Good mana regen with Arcane Meditation

Watch out for

  • Easy to run out of mana
  • Little control of its own
  • Needs care to stack Arcane Blast right

How to play it

In order of priority for levels 20 to 30, on one target:

  1. Arcane BlastCast it 1 to 3 times. Each stack makes your other spells hit harder.
  2. Arcane MissilesCast it after your stacks to cash them in. Missile Barrage makes it free and faster.
  3. Fire BlastInstant damage to finish a mob.
  4. Presence of MindUse it for a free instant spell at 30, or to save yourself.
  5. Frost NovaFreeze mobs that get close.

Several targets

  1. Arcane ExplosionYour best pack spell while mobs are on you. Arcane Concentration can make it free.
  2. BlizzardFrom level 20 for packs that the tank holds.

Приоритет характеристик

  1. Меткость заклинаний
  2. Урон от тайной магии
  3. Крит заклинаний
  4. Урон от заклинаний
  5. Интеллект

Советы

  • Arcane Blast stacks reset after 8 seconds or when you cast another damage spell, so don't stack it too far.
  • Watch your mana. Stop stacking Arcane Blast when you are under half mana.
  • Wand Specialization makes your wand hit harder, so wand to finish mobs.
  • Arcane Focus adds hit, which means fewer resisted spells.
  • Arcane Geometry makes your arcane spells reach farther.
