5th slot mage help

[Gadzooks]

I just armoried your mage, so I'm editing my post:

Use your arcane spec. With your gear, you should be doing HUGE dps, and I'll be honest, fire is a pain when it's on a slave. The arcane rotation is dead simple, and rarely screws up.

Look for the /click macros here for arcane, they make a HUGE, HUGE difference - when I switched to /click my DPS doubled on my mage.

My mage has AH specials and crafted gear - ie. crap compared to what your mage has - and she's doing 2.2-2.5k on heroic bosses. Your mage, as arcane, with the right /click macros, should be pumping out massive numbers.

No way a lock would compete, to be honest. I'm not super thrilled with Lock performance post-80, the rotations are too tweaky to automate - stuff either dies too fast for his dots to really work, or he just posts low numbers on fights. Like I posted before, my lock is seriously underpowered, my project is to take a look at him tomorrow and get his dps up. I;m also going to be experimenting with demonology, see what the felguard can do in Heroics, just for giggles.

Well, I took a look at the Arcane Spec and changed a few things on it, then tested it on a target dummy and I can say that my DPS on my Mage went up by about 1 to 1.5k already. I found some /click macros here on the forums as you suggested. Thank you!

I still think I'll get my destruction lock up to 80, but she's on my paladin's account, but the idea is that with her and boomkin druid I can be 5 dps for raids (I have some friends talkin about it, nothing solid yet).

Again, thank you for the help!

Hi

i also added a arcane mage to my mboxing team and i just use this simple macro

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=combat/12 [nochanneling] Arcane blast, Arcane blast,Arcane blast,Arcane blast,Arcane missiles
/use Mirror
/use Arcane Power

and i do nearly 2,5-3k dps. hope this helps a bit.

Huh, I've never seen the [nochanneling] tag before. I'll assume that is supposed to keep it from resetting if you're mid-missiles...does it work well?
