WoW Forever MrRonit's Arcane Mage Levelling Guide (1-60)

The rotation changes based on what are your available spells

Low Level (Level 15-20) - Before Arcane Blast

Once you unlock Missile Barrage your rotation will be as follows:

1) Frostbolt max rank to open - your first cast has no pressure from enemy so use the highest damage/longer cast version

2) Then we spam Frostbolt rank 1 until you proc Missile Barrage or Clearcasting through Arcane Concentration - rank 1 Frostbolt has lowest cast time so we have more chance to get a proc

3) Use your free cast Arcane Missiles whenever you get it!

4) Use Frost Nova if enemy gets too close and use Polymorph if you need to CC an enemy when managing multiple

5) Use wand to finish off enemy, you can use Fire Blast but this is less mana efficient

Level 20-27 - Before Arcane Wrath

Once you unlock Arcane Blast the rotation changes:

1) Frostbolt max rank to open - your first cast has no pressure from enemy so use the highest damage/longer cast version

2) Use Arcane Blast two times to gain 2 stacks of the buff - we do not use more than twice as the mana cost becomes too high. This has a higher chance of proccing Missile Barrage

3) Use your free cast Arcane Missiles whenever you get it through Missile Barrage or Clearcasting - you may get this before you get to 2 stacks of Arcane Blast so use it otherwise you may miss out on future free casts! You may be able to chain multiple of these back to back

4) If you are unlucky and didn't get any procs, then spam rank 1 Frostbolt until you get a proc or your 2x Arcane Blast buff falls off

5) Repeat by casting 2x Arcane Blast and so on so forth

Level 27+

1) We now open with Arcane Wrath as it has a long cast time but remember our first cast has no pressure - this hits very hard

2) Use 1x Rank 1 Frostbolt if it is a melee enemy to slow them down

3) Use 2x Arcane Blast to get stacks up

4) Use your free cast Arcane Missiles whenever you get it through Missile Barrage or Clearcasting - you may get this before you get to 2 stacks of Arcane Blast so use it otherwise you may miss out on future free casts! You may be able to chain multiple of these back to back

5) If you are unlucky and didn't get any procs, then spam rank 1 Frostbolt until you get a proc or your 2x Arcane Blast buff falls off

6) Repeat by casting 2x Arcane Blast and so on so forth

7) You may use Presence of Mind with Arcane Wrath (combine with clearcast to get a free instant cast) mid rotation if you need the extra damage!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Frost Nova, Polymorph for CC as required

Sometimes you may need to use Fire Blast to instantly finish off an enemy

Use Evocation and Cannibalize (If Undead Mage) in between fights to keep mana up

Look for gear with

1) High Intellect - number 1 priority, boosts mana pool significantly

2) High Stamina - boosts health pool and survivability

3) Spellpower - boosts damage of our spells, good stat but do not sacrifice Int/Stam for it!

Look out for Of The Eagle suffix on gear which has Int/Stam rolls!
