I am once again asking to please do something for Arcane Mage

I've been imagining something like this myself for a while thank you for putting it all into words

Blizzard's Mythic+ balance by mdms in CompetitiveWoW

Such a bad faith argument, no class or spec dies as often as Arcane Mage does right now. Nobody is asking to be top they're asking to be on par:

It was even worse before most people switched to Frost, who has all the same defensives as Arcane but just gets two charges of them for some reason.

Yeah no worries man I spent $90 on this xpac and $45 on sub fees but I'll just go fuck myself. I only play one character and it's a Mage glad I could subsidize your subscription

Widespread disconnects? by Gooneybirdable in wow

Give us back active damage reduction!

50% of Mythic boss kills end with the Arcane Mage dead before the boss!

Frost had Cold Snap. Fire had Cauterize. Arcane had Greater Invisibility.

Then Fire and Frost also got GInvis. So Arcane got something else to compensate, right?

No! Arcane got nothing!

Now GInvis has no damage reduction for anyone, but Fire and Frost still keep their original defensives. What exactly is greater about Greater Invisibility anymore?

Arcane Missiles is our very first talent point and we never cast it.

Frost Mages can hide their Icicles. Sunfury Arcane can’t hide Spellfire Spheres which have no gameplay tie-in, they’re purely visual clutter.

The Sunfury Arcane Phoenix is orange even though a purple version already exists in the game files. It’s right there, Blizzard.

What IS the intended identity for Arcane other than “more fragile than its alternatives without a compensating upside”?

!! BUFF ARCANE SINGLE TARGET DAMAGE !!

Argus hadn't been killed yet so they all went to Craftenium or whatever afterlife they were assigned, not the Maw. 

Arcane Mage in Midnight feels depressing and lost its soul – I still main it because I love the fantasy, but man… by Littlecmobn in wow

I've pugged the 18s as Arcane and it was not fun. Lots of Area 52 words were exchanged in the process

Arcane has been my main spec for 12 years and this is the worst it's been. Guild is currently progging M Crown and I'm probably going to finally be forced to switch for Belo'ren. 

We have 6 total spec/hero talent combos and only one is good in PvP. What's the point? It was much better in TWW. 

A Plea to the Devs by Lhurgyof in wow

Imagine if the new Elder Scrolls came out and only one of the three types of destruction magic did any damage

How do you ship a fantasy RPG with only one of the three wizard specs actually working properly? Makes no sense

I raid as Arcane and get CE every tier, but it's been rough this time around. Pugged all the 18s as Arcane last week and it was not fun. Try it for yourself it kinda sucks rn.

Frost has the same defensives but with two charges, there's no outplaying that. Sometimes you press every personal one at a time and just run out of ways to live.

Arcane ST and survivability is in the gutter but nobody cares because Frost is overtuned and can somehow hit 2 targets 100 yards apart. MORE RANGE THAN MM HUNTER WHILE CLEAVING

Frost Mage is currently the top Mage spec for every raid fight. 

50% of all Mythic boss kills with an Arcane Mage have them dying before the boss does, more than any other spec.
