Arcane Mage Healing Guide for Phase 2 [Season of Discovery]

hey everybody we're back with a new Mage healing guide this time looking at phase two talents ruins and rotation uh some things have changed but really it kind of follows up from phase one so let's dive in for Arcane healing you are in fact going to go 31 points into Arcane the only difference from phase one is two onuse abilities the first is presence of mind this kind of is your o button when you're healing um you can use it to cast an Arcane blast instantly giving you a stack as well as doing a bunch of damage and healing the second ability is Arcane power uh Arcane power is just a damage boost but at the cost of Mana as a Healer early in nomer you're probably not going to be using this as often as you might want to um so I would say save it until you get a better grasp of how much man you have at the end of fights all of the other points in the tree basically either increase your damage Mana or crit chance so they're just good in general I do want to bring up a different talent tree that I used for leveling uh it focuses on getting you more hit as well as making Arcane missiles uh unable to be interrupted as a whole I really liked leveling as Arcane and if you still haven't tried it out I would definitely recommend giving it a go in phase two moving on to runes the two Staples that are going to stick around are regeneration on chest and Arcane blast on hands living flame is another strong option for legs but it is not the deao anymore because it its healing is basically non-existent so use a living flame if you want to do damage the new alternative is actually Arcane surge so they fixed some bug with it where the Regeneration is uh a lot better than it used to be so you can use it in your healing build when you run out of Mona now we get to missile barrage my favorite Rune of phase 2 and what I think defines Mage healing you have a 40% chance every time you use Arcane blast uh to decrease the duration of your next Arcane missiles reduce the monoc cost making it zero and then having it fire faster so what that means is I think in my opinion Mages become one of the most efficient tank healers in the entire game depending on how many missile barrage procs you get for boots our last slot you have an option between two choices one spell power just increases your crit damage your other option is chronoa Preservation which is a two-c cast that puts a buff on you if you press it again within the next 15 seconds it consumes the buff instantly healing your target it's an incredibly strong ability but it's kind of hard to fit into your current rotation and it costs a good amount of Mona if you want to give it a go I say try it out but uh the spell power is totally fine easy you don't have to think about it just put on your boots and blast overall I think this is the best set of ruins to go into nomer with uh for your first run eventually you can swap your legs out to either Arcane surge or mass regeneration um if you decide you want to try Chronos static you can swap that on on your your feet but the other three ruines are basically set in stone um and now let's let's move on to the new rotation which isn't really any different than the old one it just adds in proc chance your core rotation as an Arcane healer is going to be spamming Arcane blast until you get a missile barrage proc and clearing it with Arcane missiles the reason why this is so strong is because Arcane blast with zero Stacks only costs 59 mana and if you actually get a missile barrage proc plus the damage that Aran blast does you essentially get around 1,000 plus healing for 59 Mona it's insane if you don't get the procs it's going to be very similar to phase one Arcane plast two to four times and then pick one of the three options based on your scenario if you're low on Mona use your wand to drop the stacks if you need to refresh regeneration do it now to drop the stacks and then if you just want to Max damage use a default Arcane missiles even if you don't have the proc all right so that's easy to see but I actually kind of want to show it off this time and blizzard was nice enough to give us some kind of Target dummies so we're going to head on down to th needles always always always keep regeneration up on your tanks then go into spamming Arcane blast if you get a missile barrage proc take it immediately in this video I screw up a few times but the idea is that once you Arcane blast wait a little bit and when I say a little bit I mean like a small fraction of time to see if it proed and then take the Arcane missiles if it did uh when it comes to DPS I don't think that's optimal but when it comes to Healing this is the most efficient way to use your Mana um casting a single Arcane blast into a missile barrage proc is insane in terms of healing efficiency if you screw up like I just did right there and you cast a second Arcane blast before you actually use the proc that's totally fine uh a few of those throughout a fight isn't going to actually kill your Mana but if you get really good at taking the Arcane barrage proc like instantly uh it's going to save you in the long run if you're trying to get better at healing I recommend coming down here and just trying to practice your rotation at some point uh it's a way for you to kind of understand and how much Mana are you using at any given point if you actually want to re if you really want to get into it you can record see how long uh it takes for you to run out of Mana using a certain strategy Etc uh it's a really cool thing that blizzard added um it is for a warrior Rune so sometimes Warriors come down here uh knock these things out and they disappear for like 30 seconds but you know outside of that glad they added it kind of sick uh that's going to be it for the video as always thanks everybody for watching like subscribe if you can um um hope you guys are having a great time in sod and I will eventually upload a full NR run of me healing uh nomer is kind of insane uh with nobody having any gear but I feel like Arcane healers are incredibly strong and as we get more gear we're only going to get better so um I'm enjoying my time hope you guys are too and I will see you in the next [Music] one o o o
