Assistance Please.

Noble Arcane Mages,

I seem to be doing something wrong with my gear. I've reforged haste into hit, then mastery, and crit into mastery. Gems are all int gems unless socket bonus is 20 int or above.

Rotation is:
Burst:
AB to 90%, mana gem, AB to 30%, evocate to 100%.
Conserve:
AB and AM staying above 90% mana.

I can only pull 17-20k dps.
I know with my gear I should be pulling better dps. Any tips about what I could do to improve my dps would be greatly appreciated.
A few things I would change:


  • You should use the Mage Armor Glyph instead of the Arcane Barrage Glyph. Additionally, if you were casting arcane barrage very regularly... stop. You should only very rarely ever want to use arcane barrage. The only time you would possibly use it is if you need to move, and have nothing else worthwhile to cast.

  • Also, you should be using the Glyph of Arcane Power, probably instead of the Glyph of Mana Shield

  • Haste should be one of your top stats unless you are still wearing 4pc t11. Just dont go over the haste softcap.

  • Get rid of that green gem in your chest piece. If you are intent on keeping the socket bonus, you would fill the blue socket with a veiled demonseye. However, I would strongly recommend just ignoring the socket bonus there, and using 2 brilliant rubies

  • The Rune of Zeth trinket is pretty bad for arcane. I would suggest the Moonwell Chalice or the Darkmoon Volcano in place of it.

I'm only at 362 and i do a lot more damage than you. You're doing something very seriously wrong. I'm around 23k usually. As far as helping, man, i don't know. go to http://www.elitistjerks.com and brush up on your rotation or something. I'm sure gear/gems or anything else really isn't the problem here.

Haste to 1768 then go for mastery. Shoulder enchant = win.
