This spell is one of the best looking spells in the entire game, in my opinion. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean. All those blazing purple missiles coming out of the mage's hand, streaking towards the hapless target. It brilliantly illustrates how mages are the best at burst damage spells.

With the new talent changes, an arcane spec and good damage gear I have seen mages hit for 650+ per AM, the damage along with the fact that while channeling the global cooldown is not ticking makes this an incredible spell.

Arcane talent is probably the best for anyone who wants to be a good damage doer, but also a good crafter of water, food, and a good teleporter.

Its true finally arcane is now PVE viable, because with 3/3 Arcane meditation and Mage armor you would think you get +45% mana regen, but in reality you gain 66% because right when you cast AM you start regen as if you were OOC, i could confound on it but thats it in a short. The spell power crits are amazing now especially with Arcane power.

Comentado por 8004

like jmills said, with the new patch, arcane is becoming a much better tree to invest talent points in. with some new talents, arcane mages are critting 800+ with their arcane missiles Oo. try getting hit with that, dang.

Comentado por skitzosmeagol

Let me get this out so i can benefit a majority of the arcane mages. Since patch 2.0 Blizzard initiated a series of new macros, one is extremely beneficial to Arcane mages, and most classes at that matter. The following macro:

/castsequence Arcane Power, Presence of Mind, Zandalarian Hero Charm, Fireball, Fire Blast.

Will do the folowing, you press this macro once it activates AP, press it a second time and it will use POM, third=ZHC, fourth=Fireball, Fifth =Fireblast. This macro is extremely effective, because you can substitute anything in for example.

/castsequence reset=target Corruption, Curse of Agony

Everytime you target someone and press this twice it will apply those dots, and once u switch targets it will reset and reapply corruption and COA when you press it 2 more times etc..

Note: This macro will not reset unless given the command ( reset=Xtime(30=30seconds), reset=combat, reset=target.) so if you do not have one of those previous reset command after /castsequence it will not reset. ex: I press the macro and it casts the first spell, I wait 10 minutes and press it again it will cast the second spell. So these reset commands allow you to customize your macro :)

I love the look of AM, and would love to spec Arcane and use it as my primary attack. I know, the DPM isn't ideal - but I'm going for flavor. My biggest issue, and here's the deal breaker for me, is that AM often omits the first missile. So, I stand there for 2-3 seconds doing nothing, then I fire one less missile than I should have. Which at 63 means a 20% loss in damage / DPS / DPM; and that's horrid. Until Blizzard fixes this bug, AM is no good. :-(

Comentado por 46541

As blizzard has said, arcane spells are going to be the mage's highest dps spells BUT at a mana efficiency expense...

So it is feassible to even crit for 2000 per missile with AP and a trinket open in a raid (or even higher if you happen to have better equip than mine : p )

just learn to use Arcane missiles at clearcasting or make sure to go for arcane blast till you have 2-3 debuffs before continuing with AM : )

How much spell damage does this spell gain?

Comentado por 87278

Also it should be noted that if you begin the cast of AM, and your target leaves line of sight; it will continue to channel the spell for the full duration (providing you dont get interrupted somehow). This makes it very useful in places such as Blades Edge arena which relies quite heavily on line of sighting others. Unfortunately as you've probably discovered, the same applies to mind flay / drain mana / drain life.

Even as a 17/0/44 pvp mage i picked up Improved AM. Definately worth getting if you're thinking about putting any talents into Arcane.

Comentado por 9766

AM being effected by haste has made this deadly. With Icy Veins and
berserking and other haste gear this little spell can be brought down to
2.5-3.2 cast time allowing for mobility. Also AM is the only spell that can crit on individualt ticks.

Also note that with all the resiliance going around ... AM is the only spell
that can keep constant white dmg negating the benifits of resiliance.

When you cast a fireball against a pvp target with resiliance the chance of a crit is reduced and if it crits ... then the overall damage is reduced.
When you cast AM the ticks are white damage and are not reduced by resiliance. Total damage output of an arcane mage's volley of arcane missles equal about or little less then a crit from a fireball from a fire mage.
If arcane missles crit during those vollies then it does more damage then the fireball even if AM crit was mitigated with the enemies resliliance.
Resiliance loses it's benifits.

I AM not saying AM is viable in arena. Arcane will always be a required taste and takes a special kind of player to be good. just pointing out some pros of AM from an Arcane mage.

Comentado por 44612

well i have 1309 +arcane damage and my AM ticks for 780
and imo it's stronger against frostbolt

i did gruul and all karazhan with that specc and if you know how to manage your mana you can do awesome dmg
now i know that fireball is stronger and always will be but
AM is really awesome spell :)
you just have to use it well

Arcane Missiles rank 1 is the only mage spell what actually does "PEW PEW PEW".

love this spell in 39 bracket, 1k+ dmg with 1-2 crits(as it happens almost every time), 2 casts, 1 enemy dead.

This is actually a buff to missile barrage in many ways. On live 3.3.5 now, missile barrage procs 40% from arcane blast and 20% from select other frequently used arcane mage damage spell. And GOOD arcane mages, whether PvP or PvE are NOT casting AM unless MB procs, and other specs just dont use it. So from what I see so far, half of live MB talent functionality is now inherent in the spell, Its always FREE, and missiles are pumped out every 0.75sec at base (down from 1sec) making it more user friendly for other specs as well.
The major buff is that instead of MB proc'ing 40% from just arcane blast, it procs that often from every offensive spell (frost nova, arcane explosion, blizzard, scorch, pyroblast, fire blast, etc. I can go on and on). And, at one point arcane barrage was planned to proc MB 100%, who knows if that will make it to 4.0.1 ..... Ultimately blizz is planning to increase the usage of this spell across the board as the trend has been.
Those who complain about not being able to be customized any longer are being short-sighted. Your custom aspect comes in to play with the final 10 or so points you have left after you claim your main spec. And yes, you need a main spec to be effective end-game, anyway, if someone tells you diff. they are straight up lying to you. If you have ever wandered why any hybrid specs never lasts long, I'll tell you. Blizz designs the game for a main spec, they are against hybrid specs b/c of the potential for exploits (mainly PvP) and that's why they implemented the new 31 point dedicated tree plans, so the good talents are available earlier in a tree, yet still inaccessible to other specs.

Back in vanilla when I was leveling my mage I found myself unable to train the next rank of Arcane Missles at around level 16 for whatever reason. Naturally, I opened a ticket. The GM couldn't resolve my issue of being unable to train, so he simply granted me rank 8 of the spell, probably not realizing that I was 44 levels short of learning this particular rank.

This must be a real bug or is it a bad joke. The arcane missiles proc do even proc from remove curse which is really cheap at low lvl. So you can almost spam arcane missiles because remove curse has no cd at all.

Comentado por 423314

When Arcane Missiles procs now, the spell reads as "Arcane Missiles!" (adding an exclamation mark). So if you're using an add-on where you need to type this in (I found this through Tell Me When), make sure to add in the !.

does any one know the exact casting duration?
the tooltip says 2 seconds but the wowhead database seems to have 2.25 sec.

I've been counting whether the coefficient for Arcane Missiles changed in 4.0.1. Here are the calculations for a lvl 80 arcane Mage.

2/2 Improved Arcane Missiles, so 5 ticks. 3138 spellpower. 1379 total damage per tick. 305 base damage per tick.

1379-305 = 1074 (That's how much spellpower is added per tick)
(1074/3138)*100% = 34,23% (Coefficient per tick)
5*34,23% = 171,13% (Total coefficient)

Let's try differently:
1074*5 = 5370 (Total spellpower added)
(5370/3138)*100% = 171,13% (Total coefficient)

Can proc off slow fall, pretty nice in lowbie pvp

Found this really interesting because the tooltip says "Each offensive spell you cast has a 40% chance to activate Arcane Missiles."

I wonder if Slow fall has some yet uncovered offensive purposes o.O Maybe a future raid O.o

Comentado por Mageonius

it can proc from slow fall

Comentado por Amry

A good "filler" spell, considering that it does decent damage (assuming that all waves managed to hit the target, and even more so if you're Arcane-specced). As an Arcane Mage (Arcanist?), I use it, if available, while waiting for the cooldown of Arcane Barrage to expire.

Comentado por 712957

Races that have the low-level quest "Arcane Missles" must complete that quest before it will proc. For Alliance that's Worgen and Draenei. Learned this the hard way!

Comentado por Fyara

Does anyone know if arcane missles only proc for low lvls because my friend who has an 80 frost says it doesnt proc for them anymore, and yet mine does and im lvl 26

Comentado por Emlyn

Anybody having trouble with this spell? With all the fighting I've been doing over the last few weeks it never once triggered! Anybody know if this is a glitch or what? I'm a fire mage but always keep a few frost and arcane spells handy cause some enemies are killed faster by them than by fire. My frost spells trigger a fire bonus on those spells so why can't I get the arcane missiles even when I only use the few arcane spells I have?

Proc Timer is 19.7 seconds according to weakauras duration pickup algorithm, However the icon under the player portrait describes 19.

When you cast another spell during this time it will reset the Proc Timer of Arcane Missiles!

The arcane mages secondary nuke spell. Since this spell is now proc-based, the spell is free to cast. Best used every time available to conserve mana while dealing damage. For a straight damage burn (like for a boss or these things need to die now), spam Arcane Blast

Since 4.2 arcane missiles seems to proc off itself.

The proc doesn't seem to be 100%, more 80-85%

Comentado por Classified64

I'm leveling a mage which is lvl 26 atm and the missile is proccing as it should be (not 100% as the tooltip says, according to gm it's 80-85%). It's proccing from pretty much everything, even polymorph.

The only thing that it doesnt proc from very often is itself, I've had only a proc from itself ONE time and that was on training dummy. No, no dots on it or anything. I cast a fireball (I was like lvl 5...), arcane missile and then arcane missile again.

Comentado por Magellos

When did Arcane Missiles get a 100% chance to proc? I looked in all the recent patch notes and found nothing. I did a search on Google and read that apparently it's a bug, but I made a new mage and it seems at level 3 to have a 100% proc chance off my fireball.

Comentado por Shurai

How does one work out how much damage this does based on say, 7000 spell power and again if factoring in talents such as Improved Arcane Missiles and Missile Barrage?

Comentado por asmodai

The current proc of 100% is wrong. I had it confirmed by a CSR that it is, indeed, a 40% proc rate. The tooltip is wrong and will be fixed in a subsequent patch.

Comentado por GWARslave

Can someone explain why offensive spells don't 100% trigger the missiles like it says? I've had instances where I've cast 10+ spells with no trigger...

Comentado por 787354

It isn't procing off itself lol. Notice it only does it twice after you cast Arcane Blast? You're getting a proc from casting Arcane Blast, and if you use Arcane Missiles fast enough, you also gain a proc from the Slow applied by Arcane Blast. :)

What wierd confluence of events might cause it to never activate at all? I have a L78 Frost Mage, am currently doing the "kill 20 deathshadow agents" daily, and after killing 19 of them arcane missiles has never once been available to cast. Not that I particularly need it, things are dying fairly quickly, but it's still curious. Any ideas?

Comentado por Thottbot

So, when do you use fireball, and when arcane missiles?

Is Arcane missles higher DPS with less mana efficiency?

Just another damage type?

Do you just cast it ona clear cast or when you are getting beat on and you have the uninterruptable talents?

help me out here. When should I use this over fireball?

Comentado por Thottbot

use fireball first becuz it is dot also, then hit them wit a frostbolt to slow them down, then arcane missles, and they should be dead, if not frost nova them and back away and use arcane again

Comentado por Thottbot

i as a frost mage never use more than 3 dif spells and most of the tie its really only 1, i really dont see the point of this spell unless you are 60, have all arcane talents and tier 3 epics so you can stay alive and still have mana after the first couple casts

Comentado por Thottbot

Think of Arcane Missles as a "mini-dot" as far as aggro management. It does its damage over the course of time instead of all at one blast which makes it less likely to pull aggro of course that's meaningless if you solo but not in a group.

Comentado por Thottbot

Dunno if this is a bug, but if a enemy is within 30 yards (the closest you gotta be to use this) and you start channeling it, this spell wont stop even if the enemy moves away more than 30 yards. You woulden't be able to start using the spell on such a distance, but the magic missiles keep flying at the target anyway. That's at least what I've seen. If this still works, I guess it's a good way to reach runners to finish them off.

Comentado por Thottbot

I'm not sure, but as each rank goes up, do u get more missiles in one fire? I have rank 2 and there is 2 missiles, and I've seen ones that fire 3 at a time.

Comentado por Thottbot

I love these, i use them mostly when someone is running from me, becasue it fires by its self, real fast.

Comentado por Thottbot

The use? Well, with talent this generate 40%(!) less threat. So if oyu just put 5 points in arcane tree you can use these to do good amounts of dmg without taking aggro

Comentado por Thottbot

I just started my first mage (lvl 8 draenie) but I imagine the biggest use of this is with the talents to avoid interruption.

If 3 mobs are on you, good luck casting a fireball or frostbolt, but with the improved missiles you could still do your damage no matter how much you're getting whacked.

I still have to play around with them obviously, but I plan on making them a main part of my mob killing (Unless they turn out to suck)

Comentado por Thottbot

Its amazing what a difference there is in the first 3 ranks of this.

I'm goin arcane talents but im not gonna use rank one anymore - It sucks - too much mana for 3 hits of 24 dmg which one of them for me usually gets resisted
-72dmg

however u hit rank 2 and u get 4 hits of 36 dmg - not only is it more dmg but another hit. Alot better
-142dmg

Then there is rank 3 and u get 5 hits of 56 dmg - by this time you may have gotten some +spell dmg gear - I did and at 26 i was dealing 5 hits of 66 dmg - i was killing lvl 22 in 2 of these spells
-280dmg
-330dmg with plus spelldmg - which was weird i only had about +32 spell dmg

With the talent making it without interuption from being hit and having it be a channel spell that follows the enemy(great against guys who are in pvp jumping all around U) and even if they get out of range the spell is still hiting them this makes it a top notch spell.

Comentado por Thottbot

I was in AB and when i cast one of these babies i just saw a rouge at me about to ambush me so i blinked and in the beginning of the cast it usually dont do anything till end so i was in the blink mode and while i was walking these ARCANE MISSLES where like flying from my body and i could still cast .........while I was moving people!...................it hit my target like the normal staying still kind! im so confused:(

Comentado por Thottbot

Why are u sad? Isn't that a good thing to happen?

Comentado por Thottbot

The use of Arcane Missles is a situational one. They should only be used if you can get a Clear Cast (Arcane Talents), therefore casting it for free. It deals alot of damage for a channeled period of time. Don't use this when grinding or you will run out of mana way too fast. Use it if you need to kill quickly, or are taking a beating from monsters (only if you have Improved Arcane Missles, allowing you to cast it without ANY interruptions).

Comentado por Thottbot

This spell is so much fun.
I as a level 19 mage love this spell. In Warsong gulch this is really fun to use against low levels
The first three hit them, and they know that they are screwed so they run. But while they start running I cast this spell again and it is really amusing seeing the bolts fly after them, and then how they die xD
Whahahaha

Is this A.O.E.? sorta like Arcane Explosion

Comentado por Thottbot

I'm a level 41 mage, i just respecced to arcane cos i was bored of frost. as far as i've seen, i can run around for ages just using this and mana shield on mobs and i run out of mana way less often than i did with frost, even though they're very mana-consuming spells. seriously, it seems to take alot of mana, but if you're arcane specced (and have mana regen while casting like mage armor and that talent) then you run out of mana pretty slowly

Comentado por Thottbot

Best damage spell in a group because it does more damage than either firebolt or frostbolt and with the arcane subtlety talent you do 40% less threat with arcane spells; "empowered arcane missiles" increases mana cost a little, but bonus damage effects go through the roof. However, since it is channeled, it can't be made instant by the "presence of mind" talent, so pyroblast still works really nice :). Even with "improved arcane missiles", it can still be stopped via silence, interrupting abilities (like kick or shield bash), or stun/knockback.

Comentado por Thottbot

as a rogue twink i kill a lot but when ur fighting some mage comes along casts this spell and u see the missile comming after u even if u run

Comentado por Thottbot

Is it just me or did Bliz nerf the coolness of this spell? Playing a new mage, and it doesn't animate 3 bolts anymore, only 1, just like a friggin boring arcane wand, only faster of course, and channeled. Also tested on an old mage of mine, same thing, only 1 arcane bolt is animated. This used to be such a nice spell to whip out once in a while, even not as arcane specced. I have pretty much all my graphics features maxed, so wtf happened to it? :(

Comentado por Thottbot

nub -.- each rank more missiles come, rank 1 one missile rank 2 two missiles rank 3 three missiles, all the ranks after 3 remain three missiles!

With the Leich King expansion coming out in the future should I train my mage to do frost damage or fire? I am wandering if fire works better in a ice land, i.e. WinterSprings, or does frost damage work better?
