SoD Phase 2 Arcane Mage Complete DPS Guide | Season of Discovery

this is the only Arcane Mage guide you are going to need for phase two of season of Discovery hello my name is Javier and I'm here to make your life in World of Warcraft a lot easier first off looking at the stat priorities we're going to want first and foremost it is going to be hit chance however we are going to be getting a hell of a ton of hit chance from our talents and therefore from the gear it doesn't really have much impacts the second up is going to be crit chance then we're going to want spell damage or Arcane damage these are actually going to be equal to each other Arcane damage generally coming higher on a lot of the pre- biz gear more on that soon and then intellect and then Spirit or MP5 the first thing we're going to want to do on the talent Tre is put five points into Arcane Focus reducing the resist chance of our alcane spells by a huge 10% then we're going to put five points into Arcane concentration meaning that we have a chance to go into a clear casting state where our next Mana expel will cost no Mana this is really really important and what you're going to see in this talent tree and build that I'm going to be showing you is that we're going to be putting a lot of importance into mana and more on that shortly as to why we're going to put one point into Arcane resilience increasing our armor by an amount equal to 50% of our intellect that's kind of a no-brainer with that one on survivability but more so it's because it's going to let us go down into Arcane mind later in the tree we're going to put threee out of three into improved AR explosion increasing the crit chance of it by an additional 6% and two out of two points into mag magic Attunement incre increasing the effect of our amplify magic and dampen Magic by 50% then we're going to go down one more putting three points into Arcane meditation something I really need allowing 15% of our Mana Regen to continue while we are still casting and we're also going to put two points back up at the top into Arcane subtlety reducing the target's resistance to all of our spells by 10 and reducing the threat we cause by Arcane spells by 40% which is going to be really really good in raiding to making sure that we're not taking all that fret away from the tank of course now we get to the really juicy bit of the tree Arcane mind five out of five points in there increasing our Mana by 10% remember I said Mana is going to be really important we're then going to put one point into presence of mind when activated on a 3em minute cooldown your next Mage spell within casting time less than 10 seconds becomes an instant cast spell WooHoo for us on the in cast three out of three into Arcane instability increasing your spell damage and crit strike St by another 3% remember we've already got another 6% on our Arcane explosion as well so we're just critting all day long all day and night even and then lastly we're going to put one point which is taking us out to level 40 at Arcane power again another cool down on three minute cooldown when we activate this our spells are going to deal 30% more damage while costing 30% more Mana to cast it is going to last 15 seconds now let's head over onto the roof runes and this is where it gets really exciting we're going to put our first one into Enlightenment where we deal 10% more damage while we have above 70% Mana when we have below 30% Mana 10% of our Mana regen is going to continue while casting so again you can start to see how the Mana is going to start coming into a bit more of play here the next one is going to be living Fame and this is going to summon a spell flame it literally does like trickle forward towards the enemy it's quite cool moves towards the target leaving a trail of spellfire this is going to deal a load of damage every second to by enemies and lasts 20 seconds especially as there is bosses with a lot of ads Etc this is going to be really really good if you want to go for something like super duper fun you can go for Arcane surge unleashing all of your remaining Mana in a surge of um energy focused at the Target dealing a ton of damage increases up to 300% based on your Mana remaining afterwards your normal Mana regen is activated and increased by 300% for 8 seconds while I don't believe the Arcane surge at least in my testing and and simming Etc is the best way to go I do believe it's living flame if you just want to have fun I think Arcane surge is so fun so you know it's up to you if you're M maxing go for living flame if you're just out here for a good time then go for Arcane s obviously it's going to be Arcane blast on the next one blasting the target of dam damage each time you cast it the damage and healing of your other Arcane spells is increased by 15% and the Mana cost of Arcane blast increased astronomically this Stacks up to four times and last 6 seconds or until any other Arcane damage all healing spell is cast so you can stack this up as an increasing rate to the point where you're going to be doing insane M using insane Mana but also doing insane damage with your Arcane blast and then we're going to go for missile barrage on the waist slot giving our Arcane blast a 40% chance to reduce the channeled duration of our next Arcane missiles by 50% meaning it gets that damage out quicker reducing the Mana cost by 100% And missiles will fire every 0.5 seconds you can see how it start to come together with the um Arcane missile and Arcane blast Etc it's really really fun alog together I love it so much and then really simply I feel like blizz have been quite lazy here but I'm not really complaining I think it's so fun still spell power increases a crit strike damage bonus of all spells by 50% and that is why we want so much crit as one of our top priority stats in this phase now speaking of what stats we're going to have let's go have a look at what pre- Biz and Biz gear we're going to be trying to get so first up of course looking at pre-bids we're going to go for the Luna coron on the head and when it says random enchantment this is going to always be Arcane damage of course that we're going to want as an Arcane Mage in phase two of sod um so when it says that just remember that's what you're going for okay no nasty fire or Frost in here thank you very much um Jagged bone necklace this is from BFD on Twilight Lord Kris BFD is absolutely fantastic if you're still leveling and watching this video BFD is the way to go you get 3K XP per boss and it will go up to level 39 you should really be doing it every reset it's insane Royal Amis on the shoulders which is a Boe a lot of these are actually boe's blood woven cloak again another Boe another Boe could be really expensive on the ah Rob of the Magi blood woven on the wrists and then the celestial stave on the staff which you can see here this is actually a mage specific one and is from the quest Celestial power these are all quite straightforward and what they've got on them regarding stats Etc La Mage weave gloves from tailoring increasing damage and healing by 15 again on the uh hands star belt again from tailoring Boe on the Belt Soul Lee pants from akum go on the legs on the boots you probably already have this if you've been playing Phase One but these are the extra plar spider silks these are from tailoring in Phase 1 check out my what to do first at level 25 video or in phase one it's some called something like that for how to get these sign of the Twilight Lord from Twilight Lord Kris again from BFD lke keeper ring from PvP Rune of perfection from PvP invokers this is from akum on the last boss and the necrotic wand it's from asier the Sleepless in Scarlet Monastery uh on on the wand now going on to the biz it gets a bit more exciting we've got the neurolink arcano filament monocle on the head and this is the new tailoring epic item that we can get at level 40 increasing damage and healing of course some MP5 and intellect but when you use it it's going to reduce the Mana cost of all spells by 50% which is insane especially when you think if we're using this Arcane blast Etc as as an Arcane Mage this is Insanity how good this is and increasing the damage and healing done by your spells by 50 for 12 seconds I think for Arcane Mage this actually comes out best out of all the other casters it's really great for everyone but considering how Mana works with our Arcane Mages this is phenomenal from the Mad King in Noman we've got the nomigan peace officer torque on the neck and from vicious Fallen is the synthetic mantle on the shoulders he's are all nomigan by the way Blood rock cloak is from the PVP event in strangle for Veil and then the radiated robe from electrocution of Therma plug or whatever the hell his name is this is where we get this set item it's increasing your crit Chance by 1% it's increasing healing and damage done it's also taking your five stamina and strength but it is adding Spirit intellect and nature resistance this is a really really good set and it also is going to be on the legs and the boots as well dryads wrist bindings which are I'm in the way of here these are actually from PvP warsong Gulch in fact let's just shimmy on over to here shall we uh these are actually from warsong G you need to get the exalted with of warsong out Riders to get it of the Evil Genius on the staff from the electrocutioner 6000 this is going to increase your hit by 1% and also your healing done and Damage Done Etc pretty self-explanatory dream weave Tailoring on the hands hyperconductive gold wrap is actually a heads or tails effect on crit chance or movement speed when you use it on a 50-minute cooldown it is from engineering so if you're like I'm not taking engineering as a mage then go for the volle volatile concoction belt from Grubb um instead but the engineering one is Biz again we've already spoken about the legs and Boots that's the same set piece I showed you on the chest blood resonance Circle this is from again the PVP vendor at the gashi arena in the strangle for the strangle for Veil basically when you get this there's actually one for Arcane fire and frost obviously we want this one for Arcane hypercharged give congration again is's another unique Crypt oh my gosh unique equipped ring I think I think that was a demon that just took over my body then um this is uni equipped giving intellect nature an Arcane resistance and is from mecher ferma plug himself same again on this trinket the miniaturized combustion chamber this is going to channel randomly between 1 to 150 Health into Mana again being phenomenal for Arcane Mages and then increasing damage and healing done giving you some intellect and Fire Resistance invoker's void power is still actually best in slot from akum in phase one at the end of BFD um and then the never Force wand is from tabaa in dust wallow Marsh it's the Mage wand spell that you can do um from level 30 again this is one way you can choose Arcane fire or Frost we're of course taking the Arcane one for an Arcane Mage now we've already spoken a little bit on professions and obviously I'm telling you to take tailoring the other one I would recommend is probably going to be enchanting for this this cheeky um seal of innovation here and this is going to increase your spell Power by 20 for 30 minutes and you can use this whenever the whenever the hell you like really but it doesn't persist through death and therefore if you do die it's going to come off um otherwise Alchemy is a good idea with tailoring of course enchanting goes really really well with it specifically because it doesn't need a separate Gathering profession on what consumables you're going to have there's the greater Mana potion this should be quite cheap now on the auction house Sage fish delight giving you some Mana back every 5 Seconds the ler Arcane Elixir is going to increase spell damage by 14 for 30 minutes and you can use the Lesser wizard oil on your weapon and yes you can use this with the Lesser Arcane Elixir increasing spell damage by up to 16 and that also lasts for 30 minutes and that's it guys that's pretty much everything you need to know to play Arcane Mage in Phase 2 a few other things I want to note is if you want to see me playing this I am actually now streaming on Twitch over at
