So what is the current maximum damage of max rank Arcane Explosion for mages? I tend to pull 12-16 mobs at a time atleast in SM Cath and I do around 450normal damage to 800crit damage. So even if I hit with normal damage on each mob this is equivalent to 5400dmg with max rank of Arcane Explosion.

I am going to make sure this is accurate as I am not at my gaming boxes at the moment but will definitely make sure later after work.

The Blizzard example seems to be about spot on as I do about 229-230 per tick on mobs in SM Cath.
