Original Post:

Hi guy,

i read this forum section since a good time now and find it quite interesting. Enough interesting to try all those theory about arcane in game since it seem to some that it is as good DPS and for others better DPS then fire spec.

I then make a 50/11 build whit an MSD to try it out not in theory

. In pvp, i have greath fun but, in raid, the AM spam is not sustainable for me. There is something im missing beside the JoW to sustain AM ? Our Mage have generally a Spriest but our pally are all healer so JoW is marginally apply if it ever is. So the mana regen is good but not the best we could possibly got. And while it is good enough for our Fire Mage its not near to be enough for an Arcane Mage especially AM spammer.

While i love the MSD proc for a burst damage(especially for PvP) in raid it only make you burn your mana faster and not regenarating mana since you dont get into the 5FR resulting in a good DPS but the worst DPM ever seen. In another hand the 3xAB 1xAM was quite sustainable whit only a Spriest in my group but since i dont have 2T5 yet but only 1 my DPS was not greath.

So my conclusion so far is, unless you have an idea how i can improve greathly my mana regen beside JoW, the AM spam is not sustainable in long fight.

here my armory
The Armory

Not the best gear i know, lacking alot of crit, but thats all i could manage to get for arcane so far. The gear for deep fire is so different, i choosed to drop spellfire stuff because it have so many yellow and the lack of INT is ridiculous IMO for arcane spec.

Keep the good work here lot of good info.
