For all of you pvp mages who are sick of gettin stun locked or ambushed to death by rogues (I for one am), we have a solution.

Rank 1 Arcance explosion is great for unstealthing pesky rogues. Due to the low Mana cost of rank 1, it should be on a actionbar of any mage in pvp.

I have noticed that it is best used when you are standing near a point of interest (No sense in wasting mana in the middle of nowhere)

Happy PvP'ing

Funnily enough, this spell is used in PVP when the mage is outnumbered and being attacked by several melee classes, as it is one of the few instant cast spells. So the mage casts it again and again whilst running around, just to do as much damage as he can before he dies.

Great for AOE training and also good in pvp when there are multiple enemies to damage, with this you can damage them all at the same time!Hooray!

While this may not be a very mana efficient spell, I still find it quite useful in tight situations, such as when in PvE combat your frost nova, fire blast, and cone of cold are all on cooldown and you're about to die and can't take the time to cast another spell. =D Run like heck and spam Arcane Explosion. It hits all targets, even the ones behind you that are chasing to get that last hit in to kill you. Definitely helpful in sticky spots.

With about 300+ spellpower, I do around 500 damage non-crit and upto 1000 crit with Arcane Explosion.

It is very useful due to it's instant cast. When I AoE during PvP, I keep doing it until I get a lot of enemies on me then I Iceblock and wait for them to get off me and then start up again, you can easily take out 3-5 people with this if used correctly

Highest raw DPS spell in the game. Roughly 225dps with out calculating spell damage or crit percentages. Problem with it is that it is relatively expensive and is caster based leaving the mage in melee range and in the face of death.

the next closest AoE spell for damage is hurricane at 206 dps

Great spell, really handy for taking on groups of mobs. If you use 'Frost Nova' (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=122) then run back afew steps, then you can spam 'Arcane Explosion'

Abit of a Mana Drainer but i'll forgive it as it's great.

Highest raw spell damage AoE spell in the game. Plus, it can crit. Bad thing is that it intensifies aggro on the mage, so a priest PW:S will come in use when the mage requires healing.

Used by Mage's. It's one of the best AoE spell in the game. Very good in Magisters' Terrace also, when you're about to take the Wyrms before the second boss Vexallus.

Mage's AoE FTW ;>

This spell really eats at your mana.

Arcane Explosion, like most aoe's, hits less when you're attacking more targets.

For instance, if I was to Arcane Explosion next to 5 targets in an instance, I'd expect to see a few 800's, and perhaps 1100 crits.

However, if I was somewhere, as mentioned above MgT, or the guests at Karazhan, I'd be seeing hits more like 400, and 600 crits, etc.

The point is, there is some form of "maximum" damage implied by a single cast. Try it yourself, lure half the mobs in RFC and you'll notice a significant damage reduction.

I think what he is referring to is when Blizz nurfed mages back in the day by adding an AOE damage cap. You can best see the cap when you run thru Dead mines and aggro the start to the boat and then AE. You will notice that you hit few for less then 200. I have 1.5K spell dmg. I belive you will deal full damage to all mobs until you have more then 14 then it starts dropping.

Good news is that increased the damage cap to AE by 50%.

Did you know?

In the early days of Vanilla, this spell actually had a 1.5 sec cast time. The great talent that you now know as Spell Impact was then called Improved Arcane Explosion, and you could talent the cast time down to instant.

Just some nostalgic moments here...

Good spell when boosting low lvl instances.

It should also be noted that this spell will NEVER trigger clearcasting, for obvious reasons.

At level 83, Arcane Explosion costs 1337 mana to cast :P

This no longer reliably stops flag capping in battlegrounds. Cone of Cold and Frost Nova still seem to work.

As an arcane mage, how well does this work for AoE damage?

I read my options are either stacking up the Impacto Arcano debuff and casting Explosão Arcana,
or casting and .

I'd like to hear it from experienced mages though.

The question if Explosão Arcana is better or worse then or depends purely on your spec and playstyle.
Explosão Arcana takes you close into the battle, where the other 2 spells allow you to DPS from a distance. is channeled, where has a CD.

For arcane spec'd mages running into situations where you need to AoE; take 2 points . You probably will need to spec a little lower survivability, situational DPS increases or CC (for example lowering your points in or ), but it's worth it when dealing with trash.
But 4 stacks of Impacto Arcano, spamming Explosão Arcana, refreshing Impacto Arcano when needed, yields DPS around think 30k - 40k for my ilvl 360 (non-raiding) mage, compared to figures around 10k - 20k for in the same arcane spec and gear.
For added fun, Explosão Arcana is influenced by things like Poder Arcano and Gema de Mana with if you can spare the CD at that point.
In terms of mana usage, I stay at 99% to 100% mana without having any spirit items, etc. just on and with Glifo Calcinado (the latter 2 you want anyway due to the current workings of mastery in arcane).

More accurate figure comparison can be calculated using tools like Rawr.
When you're fire spec'd or frost spec'd the story is completely different.

More information on mages, spec's, spell rotations, etc. can be found on alot of places, with ElitistJerks still providing good information based on theorycrafting. The mage spec related threads can be found here.

Had rawr calculate some raw figures for me (having 2 points of and rawr not using cd's) and it came out with the following:
- AESpam: 34922.97 DPS
- AERampAB: 38780.58 DPS
- AE4AB: 45255.25 DPS
- : 30232.76 DPS
- spam: 19988.35 DPS

Explanation on rotations used above:
- AESpam: spamming Explosão Arcana without any Impacto Arcano buffs.
- AERampAB = cast Explosão Arcana while ramping up Impacto Arcano (e.g. 1x Impacto Arcano, 4x Explosão Arcana, 1x Impacto Arcano, 4x Explosão Arcana.... etc. until you reach 4 stacks of Impacto Arcano and refreshing them to keep them up)
- AE4AB = get 4 stacks of Impacto Arcano and refresh them when needed to keep them up, while spamming Explosão Arcana in the meanwhile.

Notes to take into consideration:
The mana usage and threat generation on Explosão Arcana is greatly lowered by (7,5% base mana cost) while costs 75% of base mana with full threat gain and having to stand still due to having to channel the spell.

In short: Explosão Arcana is worth it at the moment for AoE ;-)

Can a heroic FL geared mage post how hard this hits with raid buffs?

It should clarify that it must hit a target in order to get an . I really hate that you do not get a charge by simply casting it.
