Mage Spreadsheet, updated - Page 3

Kasi · 09/06/06, 9:42 PM

Ara, I have a couple questions here for a guildie about some mage stuff. Tried looking at spreadsheet, but got confused by it.

1) Can each tick of Arcane missiles proc clear casting? A guildie is thinking that might make AM worth it as the primary nuke..

2) How does chain casting AM (with an arcane build) do in comparison in DPM and DPS to frostbolt or fireball/scorch?

Thanks for anyone who can point me to this. Trying to find the info using search but its hard. I used to play a mage and instinct tells me that using AM all the time is just wrong, but I would like some math.

Only the first tick of AM can proc Clearcasting or Netherwind Focus.

I've had it in the back of my mind for a while. It should be pretty simple to update, for anyone who wants to have a go at it.

Also, there's someone with potentially more advanced work who posted in this thread:
