Hi. I am a 57/3/11 Arcane mage with a rotation of Arcane Blast X 3, Arcane Barr, then finish of with Arc Missles. Problem is my mana goes down extremly fast and i find myself using Evo, mana gem, and mana pots over and over just to keep my rotation going. Is this rotation 2 mana heavy or what should i do to fix this? Thanks.
arcane, by it's nature, is a mana heavy rotation.. that's why they give you the wonderful talent to let you evocate every 2 minutes, cause by god you'll need it.
don't do AM without 3 stacks of ABl. Switch ABarr for AM when Missile barrage procs, and you're good to go. (this has all been said already)
if you're questing you can get away with using mage armor to great effect, but when it comes to end game material, you'll find yourself using molten armor for the extra DPS.

Use the gem as soon as it won't be wasted, and Evo on 30%, be very careful no to cast one extra Arcane Blast and you should be good to go.

mages shouldnt have anything called{Increase mana cast} because that keep you from making crits whiting for 4/5sacends for your mana to come back while warlocks are casting shadow bolts or any other spell your dps wont be 1# so quit arcane and go for firefrost spec its best your talents will only waist your mana after the 3rd cast and its what i see very stupid tree tbh
you've never played as arcane have you? so you're missing out on 6-7s of damage every couple of minutes but the sheer amount of damage you put out when you HAVE mana, is more than enough to make you competetive. I've seen plenty of arcane mages topping DPS charts.
btw guys look at the defrents did anything in arcane/fire/frost trees now need less or more points like it used to?Nope because our class is getting nerf and nerf nerf nerf so mage will never be the best dps
How is not changing our tree any a
nerf
? If you're not topping the dps charts (or at least coming close) then either you're doing something wrong, or your gear isn't good enough. Every pug i've been in since 3.1 has mages topping the damage meter. Even with the lack of changes to our talent tree.

If you can't be bothered to use punctuations, then I can't be bother to reply.

i was a mage in whole tbc time from start to end am not saying am super mage its because after i saw that the heart of arcane got nerf arcane powr share cd with presnt of mind i got *!@#ed and winter shill and improved scorch as will the high damage mages cause its because the high spell powr they got from geer am not talking about that saying its only 2trees you can choose for pve its fire or frost you cast spell after spell Ok you have like 150 mana potion and 3min cd mana gam and 2min evocetion you cant use your mana potion or the cooldown on it wont start going down only when your out of compat this topic is about mage mana proplem not about dps but yes mage will never be always top dps in raid by saying that i mean 1# not 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 i dont need other clases to get nerf for one class to be happy so i creatd a warrior and stoped whining about it warlocks set give em 300 spirit evry time they use life tap and life tap give em mana and ther is 5/6healers to genarate warlocks mana back so you cant compare lock to mage or sp priest to mage its lock in top then priest then mage in dps and in mana cost and in mana proplems.
okay first off... it's called punctuation.. use it.. seriously, this paragraph made my brain hurt cause its all one long sentence...
that having been said... what does being a mage all thru TBC have to do with arcane? So arcane power puts a 10s cooldown on PoM. that's not a big deal.
All the math in the world has shown that arcane will perform almost as well as frostfire or fire.. saying that frostfire or fire are the "only mage trees" is absolutely ludicrous statement.
If you're not beating SPs or locks in damage, then they must outgear you by quite a bit, or you're doing something wrong.. All the locks and SPs that i've had equivalent (or at least close to) gear to, i can crush in the DPS meters.
Yes, some mages i've run with that have topped the charts may have something to do with gear, but some of it doesn't. I've beaten other classes in their full ilevel 213+ gear with my 4, count them 4 pieces of ilevel 213, and the rest is 200, (a couple even lower). I stand by what I said. Mages can and do top the charts... often... saying there's no way for them to be top of the charts except for being ridiculously overgeared is a ridiculous pronouncement and I defy you to show me damage charts from a good, equally geared group that prove you correct.
