Please note - this will be a somewhat short guide. Arcane Arcane Blast x 3 -> Arcane Missiles -> Arcane Barrage -> Frostbolt x 3 Repeat. Fire Frostfire Bolt x 3 -> Fireball x 3 -> Fire Blast Repeat. Frost Frostbolt Repeat. -End of Chapter 3- - Kostada

Soul Shards: Issues and Possible Fixes
Yet Another Warlock Nerf — ... would require a reagent cost, especially since we have to invest 11 points in the Destruction tree to get it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing spell but the reagent cost is simply not justified. Fire Blast is a trainable spell, more powerful and without the reagent cost. ...

Premature Overreaction: Exorcism in 3.1
The Suicidal Zebra — ... by 8%. This is pretty untenable in any sort of min-maxing environment without unique buffs, and the change to Exorcism will ameliorate this. As a fun side effect it becomes useful for Holy (which has woeful DPS) and allows designers greater breadth in Talent design. Unfortunately, this change may come at a price. Mana Cost Exorcism is extremely mana efficient for this type of spell. Exorcism is most similar to Shaman Shock spells, the odd Mage spell or Shadowburn.

We Mages get such a reputation for being whiners that I try to steer clear of pessimism as much as a can just to avoid being lumped in with that lame generalization.

Spell Rotation for Single Target Fire Spells - Revised
Zanderfin's Wow "Casual" Raiding — ... Fire Blast - With the way this spell scales, it's really not in the normal rotation much at all. You can use it as a filler here and there, but overall, it's generally better to cast another spell. That said, there is still some uses for this spell. Take the example I gave before.

A Basic Guide to the Raiding Arcane Mage
TankSpot — ... to maximize downtime due to switching targets, running in/out of area of effect abilities, etc will yield the best increase in damage, but knowing when and how to use your abilities is just as essential. We have fantastic burst DPS, so our numbers look great if Recount is set to DPS- but any fight where you're so busy running you don't use any instants, your damage done drastically drops down. We currently have three abilities to use on the go: [Arcane Barrage], [Fire Blast], and [Presence of Mind]. While lower damage, ...
