Tier Sets

Season 1 Arcane Mage Tier Set:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Arcane blast and arcane barrage damage increased by 6%
  • (4) Set Bonus: casting arcane blast or arcane barrage has a 5% chance to make your next arcane barrage deals 20% increase damage and granting us 4 charges

Tier set Thoughts and Conclusions

I think the 2p is a bit on the boring side of things, simply giving a 6% damage increase to our 2 main abilities.

However, the 4p has a really nice and interesting interaction with our gameplay and rotation; it can double dip with our new nether precision, and since barrage is our biggest source of damage in AoE, this can make Arcane Mage very strong in the AoE damage department, especially if we can line this proc up with nether precision.
