Berlinia's Arcane Mage Guide for T17 (Highmaul Update)

[Berlinia]

@Chev, or if you fuck up and cast extra AB's at 4AC when Evo is far from coming off cd

Added minor update regarding the lack of updates.

So if we come out of burn with 2-3 stacks of AM, do we dump them after evocation? Or do we just AB to four charges and eat whatever missile procs come up in that period of time? The latter feels weird to me.

Some clarification would be awesome. I'm losin my mind over missiles!

EDIT: just re-read that last post and realized the answer was right there. Basically, if we come out with 2/3 missiles, we would simply dump the third missile, whenever it procs, as we build up AC's? And then continue with business as usual.

[Chev]

that is correct

I am confused about few things connected to 4pc bonus:
- Whether I should evo pre-pull to get more AB's into PC? (with BL my GCD is under 1s this way)
- How I should utilize 2pc proc - should I do regular conserve phase APL or burn?
- Considering that I sometimes run into situation when I have a 4pc proc but no AM should I try to always have 1 AM proc kept just to have it ready in case 4pc procs?

I would be very grateful for help.

1) Evo Pre-pull is a dps loss because it means you can't go into a burn phase during AP/PC
2) You can't burn without evocation off cd, 2p simply makes your conserve phase stronger
3) 4p doesn't change your rotation, cast AM at 4 AC stacks wether you have the proc or not.

This guide is out of date. Will update at some point. Untill updated, check Shang's guide or something else. The core of this remains the same, but BRF updates are not here.
