So yeah, frost is old hat for max dps now. Go arcane, use the rotation Arcane Blast, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane missiles, arcane barrage (I use a sequence so if one mage procs missile barrage that mage keeps going on the sequence, so after a while they are all out of sync) I have also done it manually, which can increase dps, but if you arent careful, will run you OOM. I use mana gems every cooldown, and use evocate as often as I can. Arcane mage max dps is all about dumping your mana. With all the buffs your team has, you should last long enough to down the boss with relative ease.

Thanks ... i specced one of my mages exactly like yours, and my dps went down by 400 - to about 1600. Here's my dps macro:

#show Arcane Blast
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence reset=target [target=teamâwesome-target,exists,harm,nodead][target=party1-target,exists,harm,nodead] Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage

I also noticed that Arcane Missiles is being interrupted by Arcane Barrage. Am I doing this right?

you need to add a nochanneling modifier. here is my macro

Code:

---

/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence [target=focustarget,harm,nochanneling][] reset=target/combat Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage

---

I also have a second button for when i wanna max my dps, so i dont waste my cooldowns on trash

Code:

---

/use 13
/use 14
/cast presence of mind
/cast arcane power
/cast icy veins
/cast [target=focustarget,harm] [target=enemy] Arcane Blast

---

I pop that on boss fights as often as i can, as well as mirror images too.

I'm thinking about adding a 4th arcane blast into my macro, or possibly making 3 separate macros, with varying amounts of blasts, to better manage mana. if I do 4, that greatly increases the chances of proccing missile barrage, and the 4th blast does a lot of damage, but it costs a lot of mana. Then maybe one with only 2 blasts, for saving mana.

I also focus magic in a round robin, so each mage gets the buff. And i have to use mage armor, or i run oom.

In raids i switch my priest to shadow, and my pally to holy, and my priest keeps up well with the mages, and sometimes can beat them (expecially on aoe pulls, mind sear is hax!)
