The Mage is a very complex and powerful class. They can be taken in many different directions, deal incredible damage, and be fairly tough to kill. An arcane mage mixes resilience with traditional DPS output. Does this sound like the build you want to have? If so, keep reading. This article will cover informaton about the arcane Mage Arena spec and the WoW arcane Mage talent tree build for the best Mage in your realm!
As said before, the arcane tree mostly revolves around resilience and mobility. The endurance comes from an enlarged mana pool, buffs, mobile DPS spells, and reduced damage talents. You get 70 talent points as of the new expansion and generally spend about 55 points in your main tree. The remaining points go into a second tree. So, let's talk strictly about the arcane build and then the two possible mixed builds.
For extra mana restoration/retention, grab Arcane Concentration and Arcane Meditation. Both Arcane Fortitude and Prismatic Cloak offer's extra protection, and thus resilience. Take Spell Power and Arcane Instability for extra spell and critical strike damage. Finally, for your huge burst damage and some mobility, do not miss Missile Barrage, Presence of Mind, or Arcane Barrage. Take all available ranks of these spells and the rest are completely up to you.
The first hybrid build is arcane/fire combination. This build is for the Mage who wants to do a ton of damage to their enemies; your goal is to kill as fast as possible with as little harm and mana drain to yourself. Spend about 16 points in fire. Take Improved Fire Blast and Incineration. Do not miss Ignite for some extra DOT. Burning Determination is worth having, but definitely max out World of Flames and Pyroblast. They are potent when put together and lethal when mixed with arcane powers. Also take Impact for a stun effect. With the arcane tree's extra mana and damage, this build is absolutely deadly!
Now, if you want to snare, freeze, and generally frustrate your enemies, the arcane/frost spec is for you! Hinder monsters and other players literally every step of the way! This can keep you and your party alive and often unscathed. Frostbite and Ice Floes will freeze and lessen cool downs of other spells, respectively. Ice Shards and Frost Warding are not to be missed for extra critical strike and protection. Icy Veins you will want to temporarily increase casting time. Also be sure to take Precision, Piercing Ice, and Improved Blizzard. Let's see what the horde thinks of you now!
Whichever hybrid mix you choose, you will be quite formidable and intimidating! Fall back on fire for sheer damage and frost for survivability, but they both work great in an Arena/PVP setting. Now you can go be the best arcane mage on your server!
