Welcome to our Arcane Mage DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. Here, you will learneverything you need to know about playing an Arcane Mage in a raid environment,although most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

The Arcane specialisation provides very good single-target damagein stationary fights.

Playing an Arcane Mage relatively well is much easier than doing so witha Frost or a Fire Mage. This specialisation only requires that you watch out for afew cooldowns and a great part of your damage will come from only one spell, Arcane Blast. However, mastering this specialisation is just as difficultas with the other Mage specialisations.
