Fire Blast is really not nice on the mana for the relatively small damage it'd do. I don't know if I'd recommend it for mobile DPS.
Unshattered Lances, even worse.
So - what do you recommend?
if you have to move, cast your ABarr.. as soon as you get out of the impale, start your cast sequence again.. there's no reason you should be moving for more than a couple seconds.

Yeah, that is what I've been doing. I was just curious if it made more sense to try and keep the AB stack going. Guess not.
Thanks :)
well think of it this way.. would you rather keep your AB stack going and risk taking some kinda AOE damage (or getting shot up in the air) and make it harder on the healer, or move, fire your abarr, lose a bit of DPS and have your health stay topped off?
i personally would put the stress of the healer above my own personal DPS in cases like that.

You misunderstood my original question. I'm moving out of the damage. That is my #1 priority. I would never stand in the fire to get a little more DPS. That is irresponsible.
My question is - what maximizes my DPS
while
I'm moving out of the damage? Using ABarr, or waiting to save the ABx2 stack and make it ABx3 when I can stop moving?
i guess I worded that a little funny. I didn't mean to imply that you'd be dumb enough (or irresponsible as you put it) to sit there and take the hit just to keep your AB stack up.
probably, i would go with what Open says.. if it's more than a 3s run go ahead and fire it.. if you have less than that (or if you have an MBarr proc, i would say) save it for the end of the run.

i would agree with the 3 second rule but also think if you have PoM off CD then while moving pop PoM then ABlast when stop moving and that way the stack stays up :D
y'know.. that's an effing excellent idea... i tend to not think about using PoM.. like.. ever.. lol.

Shouldn't you be using PoM like whenever possible? Instant AB every couple min = dps increase, plus even moreso if you have Arcane Potency.

it's a moot point for where i'm concerned. i'm a fire/ttw mage now. :)
