Idea for Arcane

Hey all.

I really enjoy playing Arcane. I'm not expert on the Mage mechanics by any means, and I know Arcane can be a fairly complex spec to master, but it does seem a little dull to me at times.

I was thinking maybe revamping the way Arcane handles the stacks of AB. For example, it continue's to stack up to 4 times, increasing the mana cost accordingly. But, the stacks don't fall off after a couple seconds. They stay up until you use "charge down" spells to reduce the stacks.

Perhaps add in a new...short cast time damage spell that does mediocre damage but effectively reduces the charge by one charge. Lets say its called "Arcane Lazer" for the sake of this idea.

You could do your burn phase as normal, which is a staple of the spec and an aspect that arcane Mages enjoy. Then when you go to the regen phase it could be more interactive.

You could stack AB to 4 stacks, then cast "Arcane Lazer" to reduce to two stacks, cast it back up to 4 stacks, cast it back down - pop arcane missles to clear stacks and consume charges, or cast ArcBar to clear stacks and consume charges.

I just thought this might be a neat idea to add a little more of a dynamic element to the arcane tree. i'd like to hear other people's opinions.

Thanks,

Massic

ABar and AM already do this.
